About Ayurveda

From time immemorial, mankind has sought to retain health and youth in its quest for immortality. Tireless effort and ceaseless thought have been devoted to this pursuit over the millennia. The great seers of ancient India have enriched the world with two impressive legacies, Ayurveda and Yoga, which have made significant contributions to the art of healing, health and rejuvenation.

Ayurveda, the science of life and longevity also known as Indian system of medicine, epitomises the harmonious blending of the body, mind and spirit of the individual with the cosmos. Though many people term it as alternative or complementary medicine, it is older than so called allopathic system of medicine. According to Hindu mythology, Brahma, the Cosmic Creator, composed Ayurveda in a hundred thousand verses and presented it to humanity.

This ancient therapy, which is as old as the civilization which treasured it and which it nurtured, continues to flourish in this land south of the Himalayas. In a region rich in bio-diversity, this therapy with herbs, minerals etc. has stood the test of time and proven it to be the source if natures antidotes for all ailments of body and mind.
