"Ayur" in Sanskrit means life or longevity and "Veda" means science. Ayurveda, thus means the science of life. Ayurveda says, life is a combination of Atma (soul), Indriyan (senses), Sharira (body) and Mana (mind). It deals with Panchamahabhutas, the essential five elements, which make the nature or the prakriti of the individuals. This prakriti is again determined by three factors or physical energies. They are Pitta, Vata and Kapha.
