Abstract

The Indian Knowledge System strongly emphasizes the interconnectedness and mutual dependence of all living beings and the universe. Its main features include self-realisation and inner change among individuals. The Indian knowledge system originated during the Vedic period, about 1500 BCE. The earliest books of Hinduism, such as Vedas, Upanishads, Samhitas, Puranas, etc, were written during this period and are considered the basis of Indian knowledge and philosophy. It is predicated on a holistic methodology that incorporates the mind, body, and spirit, among other facets of human existence. The holistic approach of Indian practices such as Ayurveda, Yoga, and Vaastu Shastra, etc. helps to preserve harmony and balance both inside the body and with the environment. Ayurveda is a holistic health system that aims to help people live long, healthy, and balanced lives. Ayurveda, known as the Science of Life, is India's time-tested, natural, prevention-oriented, and comprehensive healthcare system. In several regions of Asia, Ayurvedic medicine is a well-established, conventional medical system that provides both preventive and treatment. Ayurveda has been the primary driving force behind drug development in traditional medicine. The ancient Indian medical system, known as Ayurveda, has been an integral component of Indian knowledge since time immemorial. This article will examine the relevance of Ayurveda and other conventional medical methods in Indian culture and their continued use in modern day. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
