Ayurveda is one of the oldest scientific medical systems in the world and is one of the great legacies that the ancient Indian sages left to human beings.
It embraces a much larger head than the one generally referred to as "medicine".
The Sanskrit word "ayu" describes every aspect of life from birth to death and the word "veda" means knowledge and study.
Ayurveda also describes, in addition to the appropriate treatment of diseases, how a healthy lifestyle must be and how longevity can be achieved.
It also indicates what is harmful to man, for example from the point of view of nutrition, behavior, way of thinking.
We can therefore say that it deals with everything that has an influence on our life.
Ayurveda considers the human being in its entirety of body, mind and soul.
Ayurveda: health, identity and longevity
DHARMA - Universal Ethics. In this context, Dharma indicates the laws that govern the universe and the ethical rules that govern human life in society.
ARTHA - Prosperity. Every man should improve his material well-being for his spiritual fulfillment.
KAMA - Pleasure Indica. Beyond a responsible sexual life, pleasure in general, like the pleasure of life, of work, the pleasure that comes from listening to good music or enjoying the joy of a beautiful moment.
MOKSHA - Self-realization. Ayurveda considers moksa as the end of human pain and misery.
Among the objectives of Ayuverda we find the maintenance of health, the prevention and treatment of diseases and the achievement of longevity .
Emphasizes the unification of the ana, of the consciousness of human beings with cosmic consciousness. The purpose of preserving health and preventing and treating diseases ultimately helps the human being to recognize and understand his true identity . The following story will help us understand better.

The Englishman believed that the sage had not heard his answer and then repeated aloud: "I am Bernhard!" Hearing the answer, the holy man said: "You are not Bernhar". Your body is called Bernhard ". And again he asked "Who are you?" Now the writer had understood the true meaning of the question and replied: "I don't know who I really am".
