What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is the ancient Indian philosophy of health and longevity, rooted in Vedic culture. This over 5000 years old prevention-oriented holistic system of medicine, is free from harmful side-effects, promotes a healthy life, treats any illness and maintains good health. In Ayurvedic philosophy, everything in the universe is made up of a combination of the Five Elements: Space (Ether), Air, Fire, Water and Earth. These combine in pairs to form three dynamic forces called Doshas (humors):

  • Vata (Space & Air)
  • Pitta (Fire & Water)
  • Kapha (Water & Earth)

All 3 Doshas are present in every living organism but one or more will predominate, giving rise to certain physical and psychological traits. Keeping Doshas in balance is important for the body functioning to its fullest. We can achieve it by using:

  • Herbs, herbal remedies and supplements
  • Ayurvedic massages & treatments
  • Nutritional advice
  • Advice on lifestyle habits
  • Specially selected yoga exercises
