About Ayurveda

Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient, highly comprehensive system of medicine based on a holistic approach rooted in ancient Indian culture. 
We can find historical evidence of Ayurveda in the ancient books of wisdom known as the Vedas. In the Rig Veda, over 60 preparations were mentioned that could be used to assist an individual in overcoming various ailments. The Rig Veda was written over 6,000 years ago, but really, Ayurveda has been around even longer than that. 
Most of the formal systems of Ayurveda were codified in two texts, the Charaka Samhita and the Sushruta Samhita around 600 BC. 

According to Charaka, ""The three-body, mind and soul - are like a tripod, the world stands by their combination; in them everything abides. It is the subject matter of ayurveda for which the teachings of ayurveda have been revealed." (1.46-47, Charaka Samhita)
