AYURVEDA - The Traditional Health Science of India
Several thousand years before our era, scientists and nature-cure therapists of the civilized areas of India had developed a unique science of healthy life - "Ayurveda" (Ayur = life), (Veda = knowledge).
This science has been handed down to us by means of ancient, venerable scripts in the shape of palm-leaf books, leather-leaves etc. across many generations. The oldest surviving textbook of Ayurveda medicine might be the Charka-Samhita (Collection of the works of Charka, personal physician of the Indian King Kanishka, 78-101 A. D.)
But Ayurveda is not only a science of life, but over and beyond that a therapeutic science. When a man falls ill, it is not only a part of his body that suffers but his entire health, his entire body is negatively influenced.
Illness and health are therefore always a matter of the entire man. With its comprehensive nature-therapy, we find a new dimension of treatment.
