Introduction
Ayurveda can be defined as a system, which uses the inherent principles of nature, to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual’s body, mind and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature.
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term, made up of the words “ayus” and “veda.” “Ayus” means life and “Veda” means knowledge or science. The term “ayurveda” thus means ‘the knowledge of life’ or ‘the science of life’.
According to the ancient Ayurvedic scholar Charaka, “ayu” comprises the mind, body, senses and the soul.
    • The two basic aims of Ayurveda are to prevent illness, heal the sick and preserve life. This can be summed up as follows:

    • To protect health and prolong life (“Swasthyas swasthya rakshanam”)
    • To eliminate diseases and dysfunctions of the body (“Aturasya vikar prashamanamcha”)
Thus the conceptual and operational framework of Ayurveda is very extensive and it includes all the essentials to make a man healthy and happy. It comprises the study of right conduct (dharma), which is necessary for the healthy growth of society where the man lives. Additionally it deals with the philosophical aspect of life, the knowledge that contributes greatly to the wellbeing and contentment of all human beings.
