The classical texts of Sri Lankan Ayurveda in their written form are almost 3,000 years old. However, like all of the 40 areas of Veda and Vedic Literature, the knowledge of Ayurveda has been passed down orally for thousands of years. This makes Ayurveda older than any other science of health.The classical Ayurvedic texts describe an ancient civilization where the presence of illness was unknown.

Even today, Ayurveda serves to maintain, promote and restore good health as well as preventing illness.
The original purpose of Ayurveda was not just to improve the health of the individual, but also to create a positive influence on the health of society as a whole. According to the Vedic rishis (seers), as expressed in the ancient text, the positive healthy behavior of each individual combines to produce a disease-free society.
In centuries past, during periods of foreign rule in India, the traditional knowledge of Ayurveda was increasingly pushed into the background. As a result, many important aspects of this holistic approach to health care became lost. Fortunately, the traditional families of India and Sri Lanka have preserved this priceless knowledge and have passed on to their succeeding generations.
