Ayurveda is an ancient system of life (ayuh) knowledge (veda) practised in India for more than 5000 years. Ayurveda theory evolved from a deep understanding of creation. The great Rishis or seers of ancient India came to understand creation through deep meditation and other spiritual practices. The rishis sought to reveal the deepest truths of human physiology and health. They observed the fundamentals of life, organized them into an elaborate system, and compiled India 's philosophical and spiritual texts, called Veda of knowledge.

Ayurveda is a careful integration of six important Indian philosophical systems, many physical/behavioral sciences, and the medical arts. Ayurveda deals with what is good life and bad life, happiness and misery, that which supports or destroys, and the measurement of life. It works to heal the sick, to maintain health in the healthy, and to prevent disease in order to promote quality of life and long life.

Health is not mere absence of diseases but is defined as an experience of happiness in the soul, mind, and senses. Health is a good balance of the body's three governing forces, seven tissues, three wastes, digestion, and other processes such as immune functioning.

With the understanding of this wonderful philosophy, popularity and acceptance of Ayurveda is growing enormously through out the world.
