What is Sanskrit word for health?

Answer 1

swastha is the word i think.

or ayusha word also.

swastha means composed or swAsthyam a state of composure. The sentence "swastho bhava" would be well translated as "Be assured" or "Rest assured" swastha is healthy and hence swAsthya is health in Hindi, The word that is used in Sanskrit is Arogyam or lit. 'freedom from disease'. sarve santu nirAmayAH... May all be free from disease (= May all be healthy).

Let's look at the English word Health an abstract noun that would be formed out of the verb heal(= free of any afflictions!).Someone who is unwell could only be healed. Thus the Sanskrit Language as also English in a way would consider that being in a state of affliction is more "natural" hence the absence of disease is health!

AyusShyam = long life! Long life is obviously possible only if one is healthy. The life of suffering is no life. Medically we are nearer truth when we see that we are always at the mercy of the tiniest microbe!
