Ayurveda, the oldest comprehensive health care system originated in India more than 3000 years ago. The usage of herbal medicines might have been still a few centuries earlier but as a systematic science in the written form might have emerged during the above period.

This science has survived centuries full of chaos, war, poverty and mingling of cultures due to its unique concept to explain the life and health as well as illness.

Ayurveda is known as the mother of all natural healing system. The Sanskrit term 'Ayurveda' is composed of two words - Ayus and Veda. Ayus means life and Veda means knowledge. So the literal meaning of Ayurveda is 'The science of life'.
