The erotic science to which Kama Shastra belongs is one of the three principal human sciences in ancient India. The other two being religious and social law. The religious law (dharma shastra) can be found in 'Manusmriti' and social or political laws can found in 'Arthshastra'.
The kamasutra opens with a discussion of dharma, artha and kama known collectively as the three aims of human life (purushastras). Also Atharva veda fom which Ayurveda originates says that Kama, that is love, passion,desire, was born first- "kamo jajne prathamo".
Ayurveda considers kama along with dharma, artha and moksha as base of healthy living that is not just absence of illness but optimum way of harmonious well being.
