Abstract

Ayurveda, meaning “knowledge of life” in Sanskrit, is a traditional form of medicine that originated in India and is thought to be between 5000 and 15,000 years old. Ayurvedic medicine is built upon the principles that are meant to describe the human body in terms of balance vs imbalance. Diagnostic descriptions are heavily focused on understanding how the body may be shifting out of balance, and interventions are aimed to restore balance. Imbalances encompass physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual states.
