AyurvedaAyurveda, which literally means the knowledge and wisdom of life, is the traditional healing system of India. Often called the mother of all healing, it originated in India over Five thousand years ago. Being a completely holistic healing system Ayurveda treats the whole person and not just the symptoms. It targets the root cause of disease and when that is removed health is restored.
Ayurveda assists us in journeying back to optimal health by balancing the five elements in the body and mind through the use of herbs, diet, colors, aromas, lifestyle adjustments, yoga, and meditation. Along with other five-sense, rejuvenative, and cleansing therapies, Ayurveda helps nourish our bodies while calming our minds from the stresses of modern daily life. Ayurveda holds that we as human beings actually have the inner wisdom of self healing within us, and that by nature we are healthy. This state of being can be attained again by living in tune with nature. Our inner nature is called our constitution or prakruti (mind/body type), and is an individual blend of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The unique balance of these three energies within us was determined at the moment of conception, and remains with us the rest of our lives. This constitution determines what is in harmony with our individual natures, and what will cause us to become out of balance and diseased. Knowledge of our constitution determines how we react to various foods, colors, aromas, and general life habits. Ayurveda is considered the healing side of Yoga. In turn, Yoga is the spiritual side of Ayurveda. Both Ayurveda and Yoga strive to help a person reconnect to their true nature. Together, they encompass a complete approach to the well being of the body, the mind, and the spirit. It is said that the highest Goal of Ayurveda is to keep people healthy while pursuing their spiritual goals.

Ayurveda views health and disease as the end result of how we relate to the world, in terms of our beliefs, perceptions, thoughts, and feelings. These cognitive and sensual modes ultimately determine our actions. Actions in harmony with our inner nature create health, while those inharmonious with our inner nature create disease. Ayurveda is the science of developing greater harmony with our environment through all of our senses, which are our door ways to the outside world.
