Practiced in India for the past five thousand years, Ayurvedic
medicine (meaning "science of life") is a comprehensive system of medicine that
combines natural therapies with a highly personalized approach to the treatment of
disease. Ayurvedic medicine places equal emphasis on body, mind, and spirit, and strives
to restore the innate harmony of the individual.
