The term “Ayurveda” is derived from the Sanskrit words “ayur” (life) and “veda” (knowledge or science), reflecting its focus on the science of life and longevity.

Ayurveda’s principles are documented in ancient texts such as the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya, which remain fundamental to its practice and understanding today.
