Alluring alternative
Manish Kumar Singal
Ayurveda, the Indian system of medicine, is derived from the words ‘ayu’ (life) and ‘veda’ (science). This science is believed to be the oldest method of treatment that evolved in India around 600 BC. Further, ‘ayu’ comprises the ‘sarira’ (body), ‘indriya’ (senses), ‘satva’ (mind) and ‘atma’ (spirit). Over the ages, this science has developed so much that ayurvedic doctors can now even operate on any patient to cure a disease.
