About Ayurveda
Ayurveda - meaning "life" (Ayur) and "knowledge" (vedic) can be roughly translated as science of long life.
Ayurvedic principles maintain that optimum health can only be reached by physical, mental and spiritual harmony. This holistic approach originated in India and is flourishing today all over the world as a complementary therapy which can sit side-by-side with more conventional medicine.
Ayurvedic therapies can enhance your sense of well-being. In Ayurveda, your mind and physical characteristics determine your dosha. The 3 main doshas are: Vata (combination of the space and air elements), Pitta (analogous to the fire element), and Kapha (combination of water and earth elements). In Ayurveda, all bodily processes are believed to be governed by a balance of the 3 doshas. Whichever dosha appears to dominate a person's behavior and physique is called his constitution type.
