Ayurvedic Medicinal Herbs in Homes That We Don’t Know  

Ayurveda originated in India about 5000 years ago. The name ‘Ayurveda’ was derived from the Sanskrit words ‘Ayur’ and ‘Veda’ which means ‘the science of life.’ Ayurveda is not only just an ancient medicinal system to heal bodies. But, it’s a way of living a healthy life and maintaining a balance between the mind, body and the soul.

However, today’s generation thinks that Ayurveda is a skill that we can learn only in the Ayurvedic colleges in India. But, that’s not true. Ayurveda is present in our everyday life, even in our food. Yes, there are many Ayurvedic herbs that we ignore but use in our daily diet.

So, here are the list of some herbs and their benefits that are available in every household:

Turmeric
