This article focuses on Ayurveda Medicine, the ancient practice of the healing art in India. The science of Ayurveda is 3,300 years old. It still thrives throughout most of Asia. Ayurvedic scholars divide the Science of Medicine into eight specialties. The maintenance of health is believed due to the equilibrium set up by the three humors and seven dhatus. Disease is caused by derangement of these humors, which in turn derange the dhatus. It is noteworthy that the early Ayurvedic teachers had knowledge of the endocrine secretions.
