What is ' Ayurveda ' ..

Ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to India and a form of alternative medicine. In Sanskrit, words āyus, meaning "longevity", and veda, meaning "related to knowledge" or "science".
Ayurveda is grounded in the physics of the "five elements" ;Prithvi- (earth), Jala(water), Agni (fire), Vaayu (air) and Akasha (ether)) — all of which compose the Universe, including the human body.
Ayurvedic practitioners approach diagnosis by using all five senses.
Ayurveda stresses the use of plant-based medicines and treatments .
