Abstract
Ayurveda is the science made up of Ayush (life) and Veda (knowledge), leading to knowledge of life. It is common knowledge that in Indian subcontinent since 7th century A.D., ayurvedic system adopted a holistic approach towards health care by balancing the physical, mental and spiritual functions of the human body.
