Áyurveda is a science of life that deals with the problems of longevity, and suggests a safe, gentle, and effective way to rid diseases afflicting our health. Áyurveda is regarded as the fifth Veda— by its virtue—and has been practiced in India for thousands of years.
The knowledge of Áyurveda was handed down from Brahmá to Daksha Prajápati, onto the Ashwin twins (the divine doctors), then passed to Indra. Sage Bharadvája volunteered to go to heaven to receive this wisdom from Indra, and so became the first human to receive the knowledge of Áyurveda. He passed it to Átreya, then onto Punarnavasu and finally Agnivesha.
An attempt has been made to present the material in a simple and instructive manner, accessible even to those with little prior knowledge of Áyurveda. It is also hoped it will help unite Western and Áyurvedic traditions.
