This blog is dedicated to everything and anything related to health through natural means, particularly through Ayurveda. These can range from home remedies to news and any other information that we find to be interesting which aids one in how to lead a healthy life.
Since this is our first post, we think it is natural for us to start with a brief introduction as to what Ayurveda is all about.
It is an ancient Indian traditional system of medicine that deals with the curing of diseases through natural means.
The word Ayurveda consists of two words, "Ayu" and "Veda".
"Ayu" in Sanskrit means "Life" and "Veda" is a holy Indian scripture. There are totally four main vedas viz; Rigveda, Yajurveda, Saamaveda and Atharvaveda. Ayurveda is a subtype of Atharvaveda.
The word "Veda" can be understood to mean "science". So, "Ayurveda" in the most basic sense of the word means "The science of Life".
The basic concept in this system of medicine is the "Tridosha Concept". This will be explained in detail in the following days.
Ayurveda not only deals with cure but also has to do with "prevention of diseases". This is done by following an "Ayurvedic lifestyle" that consists of various cleansing procedures etc that one can follow on a daily basis. These too will be mentioned in following posts....
We are hoping that this blog will be of help to anyone interested in living a healthy life the natural way.
Do feel free to comment and give us your feedback.

Hi,
this was a very nice introduction. To your blog and look forward to read more of your posts.
I also just wrote a very brief introduction to Ayurveda here:

but will extend more tomorrow.
I thought it would be good to include some things of what caraka has to say about it for example.
