Ayurveda - Over 4000 years young. : Ayurveda is the perfect ancient science of life. The word 'ayur' literally means life and 'veda' the science of knowledge. It implies to connected ideas, the science of life and art of living. Pioneered by renowned sages - Susrutha, Charaka and Vagbhata, ayurveda encompasses a world view that is ecological and eco-centric in spirit. It emphasises on the preventive rather than the curative aspect of therapy and orients itself towards a healthy and enlightened lifestyle. When Ayurveda lost its way in the other areas of India during the medieval period, due to foreign invasion, only in Kerala it was kept alive and because of that reason Kerala developed its own Ayurvedic treatment techniques known as Keraleeya Panchakarma.
