Ancient Wisdom

What Is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is one of the oldest holistic healing systems in the world, originating in India over 5,000 years ago. The word Ayurveda comes from Sanskrit: Ayur (life) and Veda (knowledge) — meaning the science of life.

Rather than treating symptoms alone, Ayurveda addresses the root cause of illness by restoring balance between body, mind, and spirit through personalized treatments including herbal medicine, dietary guidance, therapies, and lifestyle practices.

The Three Doshas

Understanding Your Unique Constitution

In Ayurveda, every person has a unique constitution (Prakriti) determined by the balance of three fundamental energies called doshas. Understanding your dosha is the first step to personalized healing.

Vata

Air & Space

Vata governs movement and communication in the body. When in balance, Vata types are creative, energetic, and adaptable. Imbalance may manifest as anxiety, dryness, or irregular digestion.

Pitta

Fire & Water
