What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word meaning “science of life” (Ayur means “life or longevity” and Veda means “knowledge, wisdom, or science”).

Ayurveda is one of the oldest medical sciences in the world. It is full of practical methods to restore and maintain your health.

It may even sound a bit like your grandmother’s words of wisdom, and yet it is a powerful healing tool that is recognized by integrative medicine. Ayurveda is a holistic approach to health and is designed to help people live long, healthy, well-balanced lives. It focuses on creating sustainable daily practices that support the balance of an individual’s constitution—the physical body, mental body, and sense of purpose. Ayurveda is known as a “living science” because it incorporates modern developments and techniques into a body of ancient wisdom. In an Ayurveda, session information is gathered on lifestyle, diet, knowledge of herbs, and behavior, and then recommendations are created for each individual according to their unique body-mind type.

We are all made up of these elements and one of the main goals in Ayurveda is to gain a deeper understanding of your natural harmonious state of being.

As well as learn how to nourish our body, mind, and spirit through balancing the doshas.
