Ayurveda is the oldest and the most natural system of medicine that originated in India approximately 3000 years ago. Derived from two words, "Ayur" meaning "Life" and "Veda" meaning "Science", Ayurveda translates to the "Science of Life" or "Knowledge of Life". According to Ayurvedic Science, the body is composed of five elements: Akash (Ether), Vayu (Air), Agni (Fire), Apas (Water), and Prithvi (Earth). These elements form three doshas—Kapha, Vata, and Pitta. When these doshas are balanced, an individual remains healthy; when imbalanced, illness occurs. Ayurveda focuses on balancing these elements to promote a healthy lifestyle.
