Ayurveda is made up of two Sanskrit words 'Ayur', which means 'life' and 'Veda', which
means 'Knowledge'. To know about life is Ayurveda. According to the ancient Ayurvedic
scholar 'Charaka', 'Ayur' is comprised of four essential parts, the combination of mind,
body, senses and the soul.
According to Ayurveda, the mind not only controls our thought process but helps us in
carrying out day-to-day activities such as respiration, circulation and digestion. The mind
and the body work in conjunction with one another to regulate our lifecycle. Maintaining
the clarity of senses is an essential part in allowing the mind and body to integrate their
functions and help in keeping us healthy and happy.
