REDISCOVERING AYURVEDA

Rediscovering Ayurveda is Amrutam`s series of blogs which will include various men and women and their ideas about Ayurveda. Even though, India is the birthplace of Ayurveda, with passing time it has lost its original importance as a school of life amongst Indians and many a time have been limited to be referred as a school of medicine. Ayurveda is surely much more than that.

So, we at Amrutam decided to go out and find what Ayurveda means to people in the present day.

This is the third article in Amrutam`s series of articles which aims to understand the idea or perception that modern-day men and women carry about Ayurveda.
