According to literature, "Ayu" Means Life and "veda" means Science so ayurveda is the "Scince of Life".

Ayurveda has three pillars for better Health. Namely Nutrient food, Relaxation of body and Brahmcharya. This three Puts more insist on the principle i.e. "Prevention is better than Cure". There are three reasons which causes diseases in human body which is called as "dosh" . Vatta, Pitta, Kapha are three dosh of diseases when these three dosh are in control it is said to be a state of well-being.

Simultaneously ayurveda also insist for control state of Mind and soul. According to ayurveda, body is made of five matters known as "Panchmahabhuta". Beside these matters body is also having mind and soul. Mind plays an important role in state of well being. A person who is having a healthy body but not healthy mind the how will he said to be healthy person?

If vatta, Pitta & Kapha are dosh of body then "Raja" & "Tamsa" are the mental disorders. These two mental natures causes stresses, psychological disorders and other mental disease. So one must become a "SATVIK". A satvik person can enjoy life. That is Soul of Ayurveda.
