- WHAT IS AYURVEDA?
Your relevent FAQ answer.
Ayurveda is an ancient system of holistic healing that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. The word "Ayurveda" is derived from Sanskrit and translates to "the science of life" (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge). It is considered one of the oldest medical systems in the world and is still widely practiced today.
Ayurveda views health as a balance between body, mind, and spirit, and it aims to promote this balance to prevent illness and promote wellness. It emphasizes personalized treatments based on an individual's unique constitution, known as doshas, which are determined by factors such as genetics, diet, lifestyle, and environment. The three doshas are Vata (air and space), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (earth and water).
Ayurvedic treatments may include herbal medicines, dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, yoga, meditation, massage, and cleansing practices such as Panchakarma. The goal of Ayurveda is not only to cure ailments but also to promote longevity and vitality by addressing the root causes of illness and restoring harmony within the body.
