Welcome to the world of Ayurveda. This branch of medicine has today achieved somewhat the same glory that it had in ancient India and which defined its identity as 'Ayurveda India.' This section gives you a glimpse into the treasured knowledge of this very effective alternative medicine system. Right from the definition, it contains the basic concepts of ayurveda as well as the more complex principles of ayurveda. The section is well categorized to explain not only the 'prayojan' ( aims and objectives) but also the 'ashtang ayurved'- the knowledge of its eight branches. And if you do not want to get into the details, you can go through the ayurveda summary which contains all about ayurveda in a concise form.
