Overview
Ayurveda, the health care system indigenous to India, has an impressive evolutionary history that spans a period of many thousands of years. Ayurveda still caters to basic health care needs of a significant number of people in India, especially in areas where modern medicine has failed to offer solutions, and this seems to be the major impetus behind the resurgence of Ayurveda in our times.
Ayurveda gives us an understanding of what life is. Reminding us of the transient nature of life, this body of knowledge encourages us to discover our life span i.e., to take stock of the time at our disposal. By making us aware of factors favorable and unfavorable to sustain the life process, Ayurveda affirms us guidelines to carve an individualized regimen to live one’s life to the full potential. Ayurveda admits that achievement of personal happiness is a major goal of life. But it points out that fulfillment in life comes only when achievement of personal happiness does not conflict with communal happiness but also promotes it.
