− | Ayurveda (Samskrit: आयुर्वेदः) is a traditional Indian medical system practiced widely in भारतवर्षः । Bharatavarsha since ages. Although it is considered as one of the many alternative medical systems, its scope is not similar to the scope of conventional medical science or other alternative medical systems. It is important to know that, Ayurveda can not be equated with conventional medical science since the modern medical science deals with the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting only a physical body or mind, whereas Ayurveda focuses on health of an individual who is not merely a physical body or mind but a union of body, mind and life energy. This union of body, mind, senses and life energy is given the utmost importance while considering any dimension of health in Ayurveda. Thus, the term 'Ayurveda' refers to the knowledge in scriptures describing various methods to obtain health and longevity, by preventing illness in healthy and eradicating the diseases in diseased individuals. | + | Ayurveda (Samskrit: आयुर्वेदः) is a traditional Indian medical system practiced widely in भारतवर्षः । Bharatavarsha since ages.
