Ayurveda (Devanagari: à¤à¤¯à¥à¤°à¥à¤µà¥à¤¦ ) or ayurvedic medicine is a form of alternative medicine in use primarily in the Indian subcontinent. The word "Ayurveda" is a tatpurusha compound of Äyus "life" and veda "knowledge", and would roughly translate as the "Science of Life". Ayurveda deals with the measures of healthy living, along with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony. Ayurveda is also one among the few traditional systems of medicine involving surgery. It is very important to note that the mainstream scientific community has produced almost no support for the claims of Ayurvedic practitioners." Today, Ayurveda is gaining lots of interest in the western world, largely due to its promotion by Deepak Chopra.
