Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word which means the "Knowledge of life." Its roots are buried deeply in the ancient culture of India. In fact, Ayurvedic medicine is considered to be the oldest natural healing system extant, pre-dating even the Chinese system of medicine. Ayurveda is more than a medical science, however, and can only be understood when one realizes that it is intricately woven into the fabric of nature. Over five thousand years ago, spiritually enlightened persons known as Rishis or Seers, by close observation of nature and its relationship to man through a supramental state of meditation, imparted that truth from guru to disciple. Today, however, Ayurveda exits in texts, scribed in the form of melodious poetry. Because the roots of Ayurveda were born out of the realm of the Spirit, only with a spiritual orientation can one understand this knowledge.
