Ayurveda is an intricate system of healing that originated in India thousands of years ago. One can find historical evidence of Ayurveda in the ancient books of wisdom known as the Vedas. In the Rig Veda, over 60 preparations were mentioned that could be used to assist an individual in overcoming various ailments. The Rig Veda was written over 6,000 years ago, but really Ayurveda has been around even longer than that. What we see is that Ayurveda is more than just a medical system. It is a Science of Life. In nature balance is always to be found. Just as the animals and plants live in harmony with nature, our minds and bodies adhere to these same principles where a balance is required for health to thrive. In essence Ayurveda has been in existence since the beginning of time because we have always been governed by nature’s laws.
