The extensive spicing of foods is from India's traditional 'science of life' known as 'Ayurveda', which means wisdom of life ('Ayu' = life; 'Veda' = wisdom). It is a systematic way of life with extensive rules, regulations, and philosophy, including those for healthcare. During Islamic and English rules in India and later, it was discouraged and misinterpreted as quack medicine. Based on 'Charkasamhitha' and 'Susruthasamhitha', the too almost fully preserved systematic works on Ayurveda, compiled around 600 B.C., and other evidences, Western experts estimate 'Ayurveda' is at least 3200 years old; Indian experts assign 5000 years or more. A very important element of Ayurvedic healthcare is a system to determine the specific psycho-somatic types or constitutions ('Prakreti' in Sanskrit) of human beings, and to control systemic diseases by selective eating habits and life style. It includes use of additives of herbal, mineral and animal origin to food.
