The Power of Ayurveda in Embracing Holistic Health
Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. Translated from Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “the science of life” (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge). It offers a rich and comprehensive outlook to a healthy life, emphasizing diet, lifestyle, exercise, rest, meditation, and the use of herbs.
Ayurveda provides guidelines on ideal daily and seasonal routines, diet, behavior, and the proper use of our senses. The philosophy behind Ayurveda is that health exists when there is a balance between three fundamental bodily humors or doshas called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Ayurveda offers a body of wisdom designed to help people stay vibrant and healthy while realizing their full human potential.
