AYURVEDA
The art and science of life, tailored to your personal constitution.
A powerful medicine based upon the idea of balance in bodily systems through diet, fasting, cleansing and herbal treatments.
The word "Ayurveda" originates from Sanskrit, "Ayur" meaning life and "Veda" meaning knowledge. Ayurveda is an approach to living harmoniously with the universe in order to achieve optimum health.
Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world's oldest holistic ("whole-body") healing systems. It was developed in India more than 5,000 years ago and is based upon the understanding that health and wellness depends upon a delicate balance between mind, body and spirit.
Ayurveda believes five basic elements manifest in the body as three tridoshas humours, Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These three govern creation, maintenance and destruction of bodily tissues as well as assimilation and elimination.
