About Ayurveda:
Ayurveda is the chief among the four Upavedas, or subordinate Vedas. The principles of Ayurveda are immortal. Ayurveda comes from two Sanskrit words - ayu, meaning “life”, and Veda, meaning “knowledge”. Thus, Ayurveda means “knowledge of life.”
The two objectives of Ayurveda:
A. To prolong life and promote perfect health (add years to life and life to years)
B. To completely eradicate disease and dysfunction from the body.
"LIFE" According to Ayurveda

The Ayurvedic definition of life states that life is comprised of atma (self), manas (mind), sharira (body), and indriyas (sensory and motor organs). The integrated functioning of these four results in a perfect life. Ayurveda takes the individual as a whole and re-establishes harmony between all the constituents of life. Life established in perfect balance means perfect health. The overall purpose of Ayurveda is to develop the highest states of consciousness.

Subjects covers by Ayurveda:
A. that which is beneficial or damaging to society
B. that which is beneficial or damaging to the individual
C. that which prolongs life.
The three goals of Life are:

A. a long and healthy life
B. wealth and success in society
C. enlightenment.
Fulfillment of these three goals results in happiness.

Ayurveda deals with etiological factors, the signs and symptoms of disease and the management of both health and diseases.

The definition of the concept of health in Ayurveda is holistic. “Swastha” (health) means to be “established in the Self,” that is in the self-referral activity of the unified field of all the laws of nature.
