India has been internationally acclaimed as the storehouse of Ayurvedic secrets.
Ayurvedic practices have been refined over thousands of years and have been passed down for centuries orally from teacher to student, before finally being documented using written records. Two ancient books, written in Sanskrit on palm leaves more than 2,000 years ago, are thought to be the first texts on Ayurveda
The term Ayurveda combines two Sanskrit words--ayur, which means life, and veda, which means science or knowledge. Ayurveda means "the science of life."
The aim of Ayurveda is to integrate and balance the body, mind, and spirit. This is believed to help prevent illness and promote wellness.
Ayurveda emphasizes prevention of disease, rejuvenation of our body systems, and extension of life span.
Hundreds of laboratory and clinical studies have been done on Ayurvedic herbal preparations. They consistently appear to have a range of potentially beneficial effects for preventing and treating certain cancers, infectious diseases, diabetes, promoting health, and slowing aging. Ayurvedic herbs have the ability to create free-radical scavenging effects, immune system modulation, brain neurotransmitter modulation, and hormonal effects.
