Eventually Ayurveda was originated into its own compact system of health and considered as a branch of Atharvanaveda. The main aims of this science are to maintain one‟s health and to protect the human beings from various diseases, which are acquired. Among many things man aspires to attain in life, a healthy body and healthy mind are the first to be sought for. The aim of all medical system should be a healthy body and healthy mind.
