Ayurveda

Ayurveda, the 5000-year old Indian system of medicine is the oldest living science in the world. This Science of Life is a holistic approach to healthy living in communion with Nature. Ayurveda was taught to students from all over the world at ancient Indian universities of Nalanda and Thakshashila as early as 700 BC. The principles of Ayurveda were translated to Arabic, Greek, Latin and Roman, which laid the foundation for modern medicine. Today, Ayurveda is widely taught, researched and practiced globally as a natural way of life and a trusted medical system. The time-tested efficacy of its therapies and the absence of distressing side effects have made it popular.
