Ayurveda is the knowledge of life and health which stems from the time of the Vedas. It is similar to Indian naturopathy and is the oldest and most comprehensive system of medicine invented for humankind. The term Ayurveda means the ‘science of life’. It teaches a way of life that enables you to be centred and focus on the healing that comes from within. This holistic medical science teaches you to recognise your self,  your constitution, and the importance of your role, actions, behaviour and choices. With the guidance of suitable food, herbs, exercise and lifestyle for improving health and preventing disease, Ayurveda deals elaborately with measures for healthful living and vitality for the entire span of a person’s life and its various phases. It teaches you to respect nature and follow its natural laws. Ayurveda us also noted for developing a wide range of therapeutic measures, natural ways and herbs to combat illness and achieve longevity.
