Ayurveda, the "Science of Life," is one of the world's oldest systems of medicine, with roots tracing back over 5,000 years to the Vedic civilization of ancient India. Derived from the Sanskrit words "Ayus" (life) and "Veda" (knowledge), Ayurveda is more than a medical system—it is a comprehensive approach to health that emphasizes balance between body, mind, and spirit.
The origins of Ayurveda are found in the Vedas, especially the Atharva Veda, where early references to healing practices and herbal knowledge are recorded. Over time, this knowledge was systematized by ancient sages. The most revered texts in Ayurvedic literature are the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya, written between 1000 BCE and 500 CE. Charaka is considered the father of internal medicine, while Sushruta is hailed as the pioneer of surgery.
Ayurveda flourished during India’s classical period and was integrated into daily life, education, and royal healthcare. Universities like Takshashila and Nalanda offered Ayurvedic training to students from across Asia. With the arrival of foreign invasions and colonial rule, traditional systems like Ayurveda saw a decline but were preserved by dedicated practitioners and scholars.
The modern revival of Ayurveda began in the 20th century, fueled by nationalist movements, academic institutions, and global interest in holistic health. Today, Ayurveda is officially recognized by the Government of India under the Ministry of AYUSH and is practiced widely both in India and abroad.
With its emphasis on prevention, natural healing, and personalized treatment, Ayurveda remains a timeless health science that harmonizes ancient wisdom with contemporary wellness needs.
