Ayurveda (Devanagari:  देवनागरी, the ‘science of life’) is a system of traditional medicine native to India, and practiced in other parts of the world as a form of alternative medicine.  In Sanskrit, the word Ayurveda comprises the words ayus, meaning ‘life’ and veda, meaning ‘science’. Evolving throughout its history, Ayurveda remains an influential system of medicine in South Asia.  The earliest literature of Ayurveda appeared during the Vedic period in India several thousand years ago.
