Ayurveda is a Traditional System of Medicine (TSM), recognised as such by the World Health Organisation (WHO). It is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the balance between the mind, body, and spirit. In Ayurveda, spices and herbs play a significant role in promoting health and well-being. These natural ingredients are used for their medicinal properties and are an integral part of Ayurvedic remedies and cooking. Ayurveda was documented in Sanskrit around 5,000 years ago and is often referred to as the “Mother of all healing sciences”.
Ayurveda is a complete system of medicine in terms of treatments of acute & chronic diseases, internal and external medicine, dietetics, herbology, psychology, right living, longevity and rejuvenation. Ayurveda is widely practiced in India and Sri Lanka as a government-recognised and regulated healthcare system. Ayurvedic practitioners carefully select and combine these natural ingredients to create remedies and dietary recommendations tailored to an individual's unique constitution and health needs. The practice of Ayurveda aims to maintain or restore balance within the body and mind, promoting overall health and well-being.
