Ayurveda

Ayurveda or Ayurvedic medicine is a practice in use primarily in the Indian subcontinent, which advocates argue assists with health and healing. The word "Ayurveda" is a tatpurusha compound of ayus "long life" and veda "knowledge", and would roughly translate as the "Science of a long Life". Ayurveda deals with the measures of healthy living, along with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony. Ayurveda is also one among the few traditional systems of medicine involving surgery.
