Ayurveda, often referred to as the "science of life," is an ancient system of medicine that originated in the Indian subcontinent over 5,000 years ago. It emphasizes a holistic approach to health and wellness, focusing on the balance between mind, body, and spirit. With its emphasis on natural remedies derived from herbs, minerals, and other natural substances, Ayurveda has garnered widespread attention globally as an alternative and complementary form of medicine.
