Ayu means “life” or “daily living.” and Veda is “knowing.” Ayurveda was first recorded in the Vedas the world’s oldest extant literature.  The secret of ayurveda’s individualized healing method was preserved in India, whereas it has been lost or superseded in other cultures.

The sage, physicians/surgeons of the time was the same sages or seers, deeply devoted holy people, who saw health as an integral part of spiritual life. It said that they received their training of ayurveda through direct cognition during meditation.
