Ayurveda, the indigenous holistic healing system of India, is a holistic approach to health and lifestyle management that incorporates diet, exercise, life activity routines, psychotherapeutic practices, massage and botanical medicine. Ayurveda focuses on prevention, applying techniques of self-care to restore health balance quickly and effectively. Ayurveda is one of the four large, long-practiced ethnic herbal medicine systems with large extant literatures (along with Western, Chinese and Unani). It affords valuable clinical insights in its own right. Acquiring a basis in Ayurveda will enhance access to south Asian herbs and indigenous medicinal preparations.
阿育吠陀是印度本土的整体治疗体系，是一种针对健康和生活方式管理的整体方法，融合了饮食、运动、生活活动日常、心理治疗实践、按摩和植物医学。阿育吠陀注重预防，运用自我护理技巧快速有效地恢复健康平衡。阿育吠陀是四大长期实践且有大量现存文献的民族草药医学体系之一（与西方、中国和尤纳尼医学并列）。其本身就提供了宝贵的临床见解。奠定阿育吠陀基础将增加获取南亚草药和本土药物制剂的机会。
