Ayurveda
is a science in the sense that it is a complete system. It is a
qualitative,
holistic science of health and longevity, a philosophy and
system of healing the whole person, body and mind. This system
evolved at a time when philosophy and medicine were not
separated; hence philosophical views have strongly influenced
the Ayurvedic way of thinking.
The word,
Ayurveda, derived from the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit,
means "Knowledge of Life". Ayurveda's basic principle is the
concept that you are capable of taking charge of your own life
and healing. |
