                       What  is ayurveda      Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that originated in ancient India. The word "Ayurveda" is derived from the Sanskrit words "Ayur," which means life, and "Veda," which means science or knowledge. Thus, Ayurveda can be translated as the "science of life" or the "knowledge of life." Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world's oldest holistic healing systems.
