Ayurveda (the science of life) is one of the branches of vedas. It is regarded as upaveda of rigveda or atharva- veda but,really speaking,it is a stream of the knowledge coming down from generation to generation since eternity parallel to the vedic literature that is why its emergence has been said to be from the creator (Brahma) himself prior to the creation.It is called eternal because nobody knows when it was not there. All this shows its long tradition and deep attachment to the Indian culture. Ayurveda defines life 'Ayuh' as the intelligent coordination of our four parts, the soul, the mind, the senses, and the body, with the totality of nature and the cosmos. Health is not just a state of the body. We interact with the seasons, planetary changes of the earth, and moon, other planets, as well as orbiting relationships within our lives, our loved ones and friends, co-workers etc. We affect and are affected by every other animate and inanimate thing in existence. Bringing all of this into balance is the key to living healthy. The most striking feature about Ayurvedic treatments or Ayurvedic herbal products is that it is much more than a temporary solution. It is essentially a holistic approach to life, health and disease management. Its approach includes the judicious use of medicinal herbs, minerals, diet, lifestyle, spirituality, and yoga
