What Is Ayurveda? Doshas, Diet & Lifestyle

Ayurveda is an ancient healing science, explains Vaidya Sharad Kulkarni (Ayurveda). In Sanskrit, Ayurveda essentially translates to "The Science of Life." This Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India over 5,000 years back and is often known as the "Mother of All Healing." Ayurveda places emphasis on prevention and encourages health maintenance by placing close attention to balance in one's life, lifestyle, right thinking, diet, and using herbs.
