What is Ayurveda?
The Sanskrit term Ayurveda translates to “knowledge of life”. Ayurveda is one of the oldest holistic healing systems, and the sister science to yoga.
Ayurveda looks at the five elements (ether, air, fire, water, and earth) and how they combine to create the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). These doshas are present within and around us. Everything in the universe can be described in terms of the doshas. Ayurvedic treatment recognizes when doshas have become excessive or deficient, which can affect the mind, body, and emotions. Ayurveda applies the opposite qualities to return to balance.
