Ayurveda is considered as one of the earliest forms of medicinal systems in the world. It is found to have come into existence about 5000 years ago.

But somewhere parallelly, the Ayurveda has been constantly studied.
Ayurvedic herbs also at times referred to as Ayurvedic medicines are the natural ways to strengthen our bodies in order to fight diseases.
