Ayurveda is the knowledge that indicates the appropriate and inappropriate, happy or sorrowful conditions of living, what is auspicious or inauspicious for longevity, as well as the measure of life itself.

Ayur means life and Veda means knowledge, so Ayurveda means the knowledge about science of life.

During the 500-600 B.C., Agasthya, Charaka, Sushrutha, Kashyapa, etc. the very knowledgeable philosophers churned from the vedas the references to all illness, diseases, drug-medicines and compiled the samhitas.
