About Ayurveda

Ayurveda, a Sanskrit term, is usually expanded and explained as ayusho veda which means "the science of life".

An in-depth insight into the language reveals that “science of life” is a sorely inadequate translation for Ayurveda. For, the term ayu not only means “life” but in totality implies “life span”. And the term veda comes from the root vith meaning profound knowledge.

So the benefit of Ayurveda, if taken in this sense, is not merely for an individual from the time of birth and ending at death but actually begins for an individual from the moment the parents prepare for conception and a healthy progeny.
