Ayurveda Quotes
Ayurveda Quotes – Ayurveda having been Developed by the Sages of India
What is Ayurveda? Why Ayurveda quotes? Ayurveda is very ancient healing system developed over 3,000 years ago in India.
It is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). According to WebMD
It’s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Its main goal is to promote good health, not fight disease.
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term that translates into “knowledge of life.” According to the National Ayurvedic Medical Association:
Ayurveda customizes preventative wellness to the unique constitution of every individual. In addition, ancient Ayurvedic doctors produced detailed descriptions of acute and chronic conditions (complete with causes, signs, and symptoms), and developed extensive holistic treatment protocols.
Although there are books on Ayurveda there seems to be a very limited number of quotes about the topic. Here are the few Ayurveda quotes we’ve found. They will give you a more informed opinion about this powerful way of curing conditions in the human body.
