Ayurveda is derived from conjunction of two descriptive words of the ancient script, ‘Ayus’ meaning Life and ‘Veda’ meaning knowledge. Therefore Ayurveda is defined as “The wisdom of life”.

Ayus (life) is the combination of body, mind and soul. In Ayurveda there is no split between body, soul or mind - they are seen as completely inseparable with each influencing the other. Together they form the physical part of a being.

Ayurveda is rooted in the belief that humans are intrinsically linked with the world and the cosmos at large. In this Ayurveda preempts much of the new thinking in physics, in quantum theory.

This reasoning has lead to the firm belief and recognition of the intelligence of the human body and its capacity to heal itself. And subsequently that nature and the cosmos are spontaneous to contribute to the healing process.
