摘要

Ayurveda is the world's oldest medical system, and is rooted in the ancient Hindu medical texts, called the Vedas, which date to 4,500 B.C. According to Vasant Lad, head of The Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, "Ayurveda helps each person understand one's unique body, mind and the nature of [...] consciousness." This science, in fact, holds that this basic knowledge of body, mind and consciousness is the foundation of health and happiness.
