The word Ayurveda is derived from two conjoined Sanskrit words ‘Ayuh’(life) and ‘Veda’ (science or knowledge). Ayurveda is not only a form of medication, but a way of life known to generations of Sri Lankans for over two millennia; a gentle yet effective method of treating the root causes of illness in both mind and body.
