WHAT IS AYURVEDA?

Ayurveda is a 5000 year old system of natural healing that has its origin in the Vedic culture of India.
Ayurveda ( Ayur = life,Veda= science of knowledge) is a science of life, apart from being a system of treating illness. It emphasizes establishing the balance in our body through proper diet, exercise & good life style. Providing guidelines on ideal daily and seasonal routines and proper use of our senses, Ayurveda reminds us that health is the balanced and dynamic integration between our envoirnment, body, mind and spirit.

MAN & NATURE

Ayurveda recognizes human beings as a part of nature and describes three fundamental energies that govern our inner and outer environments: Movement, Transformation and Structure. The three primary forces which are known in sanskrit as Vata(wind), Pitta(Fire) and Kapha(Water), are responsible for all the physiological and psychological processes within the body and mind; dynamic forces that determine growth and decay.

Each of us have a unique proportion of these three forces that shapes our Nature (Prakruti). Although each of us have all three forces, most people have one or two elements that are more obviously expressed. For each element, there is a balanced and imbalanced expression. For eg., When Vata is balanced, a person is lively and creative, but when there is too much movement in the system, a person tends to experience anxiety, insomnia, dry skin, constipation and has difficulty completing tasks.
An important goal of Ayurveda is to identify a person's ideal state of balance, investigate if and where is imbalanced and offer interventions using diet, herbs, massage, and meditation to reestablish the balance.
