1. What is Ayurveda ?
Ayurveda is the ancient healthcare system of India, based on the eternal principles of healthy life.
Ayur in Sanskrit means 'life' or 'daily living' and veda means 'science'. Ayurveda is the name given to the science of life and longevity, which is a vast body of invaluable knowledge with eight branches.

2. Ayurveda is said to be eternal. Why ?
Ayurveda is the collection of principles of healthy living that evolved from the time of the appearance of man on earth. It is not liable to change at any time or at any point of the world.
This healing system has been practiced in daily living in India for more than 5000 years.
Ayurveda, first recorded in the Vedas, the world’s oldest collection of knowledge, is still the most favored healthcare practice of millions of Indians.

3. How is it different from modern medicine ?
Modern medicine tries to treat and remove symptoms rather than treating the patient suffering from it. This stems from the view that all people are more or less the same.
Ayurveda makes special contributions by addressing the uniqueness of each patient and by helping each body to heal itself.
