Ayurveda is more of a way of life rather than a medical science. The Ayurvedic system helps the healthy person to maintain his/her already good health, and diseased person to regain his/her health. Ayurveda firmly insists about one’s diet, daily routine, life style and activities to be followed on a daily basis and according to the climatic changes, age and individual potency, to keep himself /herself healthy. The ancient System of Ayurveda has been designed by the ancients to promote human happiness, health and creative growth.

Ayurvedic treatments remove the root cause of a disease, & give a permanent cure. Medicines are prepared from natural resources like herbs, minerals etc, and this in turn are accepted and assimilated in the body, without creating any side effects.

The knowledge of Ayurveda was passed on orally through a lineage of Sages in India, until it was collated into text more than five thousand years ago. The oldest known texts on Indian Ayurveda are the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and the Ashtanga Hrudaya.

Earlier, there were a lot of complaints about heavy metals being used in Ayurvedic drugs. But the important fact about Ayurvedic Science people are not aware of is that, these heavy metals go through innumerable processes in internationally reputed Ayurvedic Centres, before being assigned the status of medicine for human intake.
