Ayurveda means the «science of life». It originated in India more than 5,000 years old and is believed to be the oldest healing science in existence, from which all other systems emerged. Pronounced «Aa-your-vay-da», this ancient healing system has three main focuses: 1) Healing illness, 2) Prevention of disease and 3) Longevity or age reversal.
