About Ayurveda
Ayurveda is the ancient Indian medical science, the origin of which can be traced back to the Vedas, some of the oldest available writings of the world. Vedas are the ancient books of knowledge or science from India. They contain practical and scientific information on various subjects beneficial to humanity like health, philosophy, engineering, and astrology.
The first documented texts on Ayurveda date back to the 4th Century BCE, but scholars have argued that Ayurveda had its beginnings around 5000 BCE. Originally passed on to practitioners orally by a Guru, it became widely known and popular after the works of Charaka and Sushruta. The Charaka Samhita and The Sushruta Samhita are considered two of the most important works in Ayurveda and are still being followed in the 21st Century.
