Ayurvedic Medicine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient medical treatment originated 3000 years ago in India. The works and practice of Ayurvedic medicine is well written and maintained in Sanskrit books and other Indian philosophical and enlightened books.

The term Ayurvedic medicine consists of just more than prescribed medicines or treatments. It is the path to promote a good health.
