Ayurveda ("the knowledge for long life") or ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to India and a form of alternative medicine. Ayurveda stresses a balance of three elemental energies or humors: vata (air & space – "wind"), pitta (fire & water – "bile") and kapha (water & earth – "phlegm"). [Wikipedia]
