Ayurveda is the ancient Hindu art of practicing medicine. It is predominantly practiced in India. Ayurvedic healing includes many herbals remedies, acupressure massages, and Yoga. It first evolved from Brahmin sages of ancient India between 3000-5000 years ago. It does not focus on symptoms, but more on balancing life energies. In Ayurveda, there are three fundamental energies, the Tridosha, which regulate all humans’ processes and determine sickness and health.
