What is Ayurveda?

Discover the ancient Indian wisdom for balanced, holistic living.

Introduction to Ayurveda

Ayurveda, meaning “the Science of Life,” is a 5,000-year-old holistic healing system developed in India. It focuses on balancing the body, mind, and spirit through diet, lifestyle, massage, herbal remedies, and spiritual practices.

Historical Roots

Rooted in ancient Vedic scriptures, Ayurveda has evolved through classical texts such as the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. It is considered one of the oldest health care systems still practiced today.

The Three Doshas

Vata

Governs movement, creativity, and communication. Composed of air and space elements.

Pitta

Regulates metabolism, digestion, and transformation. Made of fire and water elements.

Kapha

Controls structure, lubrication, and immunity. Built from earth and water elements.

Body, Mind & Consciousness

Ayurveda emphasizes the interconnection between body, mind, and spirit. True health is achieved when all three are in harmony — not just the absence of disease.

Ayurveda in Modern Life

Whether through dietary guidance, herbal supplements, yoga, or meditation, Ayurveda remains a cornerstone of integrative medicine worldwide, offering a personalized path to well-being.
