[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda] is eternal because of the following: It has no beginning; its characteristics are self-evident, and those of things dealt with it are eternal. It has been seen that ''Ayu'' (the combination of body, its organs, mind, and soul) and intelligence about ''Ayu'' (knowledge about ''Ayu'') are perpetual. Hence ''Ayu'' and its knowledge (i.e., [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda]) have been eternal. The knower becomes eternal after knowing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda]. Concepts such as happiness and suffering (i.e., health and illness), therapeutics and pathogens, etc. - their causes, signs, and perpetuation are all eternal. This is what is described in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda]. Substances, having properties such as heaviness, lightness, cold, heat, slimy, non-slimy, etc., when combined with other substances, tend to increase by similar properties and decrease by opposite properties. For example, habitual intake of heavy food/drugs increases heaviness and decreases lightness in the body. This is similar to others too. The characteristic of these substances or phenomena is eternal. The characteristics of ''prithvi'' etc. are eternal. However, matters and their attributes are both eternal and temporary.  Theories that claim “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda] came into existence after its creation” or “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda] was conceived by someone and taught to his students” are false. But based on these statements, some scholars opine that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda] had a beginning. (These characteristics, described in this chapter as well as in the first chapter of [[Sutra Sthana]] (i.e., [[Sutra Sthana]] 1:42, and 30:23) are innate to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda] and are not fabrications.) Just like the heat of the fire and the liquidity of water, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda]’s phenomena are eternal, e.g. habitual intake of heavy things increases the heaviness and decreases the lightness in the body.
