Ayurveda is one of the world’s most ancient holistic healing systems, originating in India around 1000 BC. Its genesis comes from the Atharvaveda, a Vedic text. Over the next millennia, as people observed how to tune their bodies in response to disease and disbalance, several additional texts further developed the system,including disease treatment, drug usage, and rejuvenative and even surgical medicine. Today Ayurveda continues to evolve/adapt and be researched while being followed by over a billion people.
