From time immemorial, mankind has sought health and youth in its quest for immortality. Tireless effort and ceaseless thought, across vast spectra of time and space have been devoted to this pursuit. The great seers of ancient India have enriched the world with two impressive legacies, Ayurveda and Yoga, which have made significant contributions to the art of healing and rejuvenation.

Ayurveda, the science of life and longevity epitomizes the harmonious blending of the body, mind and spirit of the individual with the cosmos. According to Hindu mythology Brahma, the Cosmic Creator composed Ayurveda in a hundred thousand verses and presented it to humanity.

This ancient therapy, which is as old as the civilization that treasured it and which it nurtured, continues to flourish in the land south of the Himalayas. In a region rich in biodiversity, this herbal therapy has stood the test of time and proven itself nature's panacea for all ailments of body and mind.

Principles of Ayurvedic Pharmacology
The principles of Ayurvedic Pharmacology are fundamentally different from those of other systems of medicine, especially Allopathy. Most Ayurvedic medicines are prepared from herbs.

Leaves and flowers are squeezed to obtain their juice. Roots and seeds are crushed and boiled in water to get their essence. To make a decoction, the extracts of plants are boiled with other vital ingredients. Ayurvedic medicines are invariably prepared under the supervision of an expert physician using classical herbal prescriptions. Unlike other medicinal systems, this pharmacological process closely resembles the culinary art.

Ayurveda, as the art of healing and the science of living, aims at removing the underlying causes of disease, and restoring the equilibrium of the bioenergies, 'vata', 'pitta' and 'kapha'.
