Indian Heritage and Culture

Ayurveda - The Science of Life

Ayurveda, a system of herbal medicine created
in ancient India, is believed to be created by
Dhanvantari, the physician of the Gods in Hindu

mythology, who learnt it from Brahma. Plants and
herbs were used to prepare medicines to treat

ailments.
Each plant or herb has a unique property and can be used to cure a wide range

of symptoms and disorders. Turmeric, ashwagandha and ginger are some of the
herbs that are used together to reduce inflammation.

Medicinal herbs such as aloevera, turmeric, tulsi, pepper, and elachi are commonly

used in ayurvedic home treatments and are regarded as the most effective
treatment for throat and skin disorders.

Life Skills and Values

Plants can adapt to changing seasons, which allows them to thrive. They accept

the challenge in front of them and change accordingly. Plants cannot interact with
us in the same way that other humans or pets can. They are silent guardians in

your home, cleansing the air and providing joy with their dense, colourful leaves.
We, too, should adapt to change so that we can learn new things, develop new

skills, and better understanding of ourselves and our skills.
