Ayurveda is the first life science of the world. It is past doubt that the Vedas are the rich sources of various doctrines and sciences in general and the spiritual lories in particular. Among the sciences, the medical science is one of the prime subjects that have enjoyed an enormous dealing. As such a lasting place and name is given to this science among the Upavedas, technically styled as Ayurveda.
