Ayurveda as a science originated in India about 5000 years ago. Ayurveda as the term implies is the ‘knowledge of life’. It is the oldest alternative medicine known to man. The concepts of Ayurveda have been transferred through word of mouth through ages. The major writings which developed Ayurveda as the science today include Charka Samhita, Ashtang Hridayam and the Sushrut Samhita. Instead of treating the symptoms of the disease, Ayurveda aims to bring well being to the people by giving attention to the functioning of the body. It gives importance to the relationship between the body and the mind. Each individual is considered and treated separately taking in to account his or her specific constitution.
