What is Ayurveda?
The Science of Life — a 6,000-year-old tradition of holistic healing
The Science of Life
Ayurveda is a traditional, holistic healing modality which originates in India and can be traced all the way back to 6000 BC. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda translates to "The Science of Life."
Balance between the body, mind and soul is the foundation of Ayurvedic medicine. According to Ayurvedic philosophy, the human body has an innate capacity to heal itself.
We unlock the healing abilities of our bodies through appropriate nutrition, positive thoughts, meditation, stress-free lifestyle and medicinal herbs.
Understanding Your Constitution
In Ayurveda, the five basic elements — ether, air, fire, water, and earth — combine to form three fundamental bio-energies.
Vata
Air & Space
Characterized by the mobile nature of Wind (Air) energy. Vata embodies the energy of movement and is associated with wind and the air element. It is linked to creativity and flexibility; it governs all movement — the flow of breath, the pulsation of the heart, all muscle contractions, tissue movements, cellular mobility — and communication throughout the mind and nervous system. When Vata is imbalanced: joint pain, stress, dry skin, intestinal disorders.
Pitta
Fire & Water
Pitta embodies the transformative nature of Fire energy. It represents transformation and is closely aligned with fire, but in living organisms pitta is largely liquid — water is its secondary element. Pitta is neither mobile nor stable, but spreads, much as warmth permeates its surroundings. It is closely related to intelligence, understanding, and the digestion of foods, thoughts, emotions, and experiences; it governs nutrition, metabolism, body temperature, and the light of understanding.
Kapha
Earth & Water
Kapha reflects the binding nature of Water energy. It lends structure, solidity, and cohesiveness to all things, and is associated with the earth and water elements. Kapha also embodies the watery energies of love and compassion. This dosha hydrates all cells and systems, lubricates the joints, moisturizes the skin, maintains immunity, and protects the tissues.
