It is based on the philosophy that we are a microcosm within an interconnected universe. Ayurvedic principles believe that disease results from an imbalance of our elemental nature or constitution. It helps us to understand our own constitution and how it relates to the universe.
Ayurveda allows us to make healthy choices, creating inner balance and outer radiance.
Ayurveda in Sanskrit translates as ‘knowledge’ or ‘science’ of life. Ayus means life or longevity and Veda means knowledge or science.
This ancient holistic healing system evolved from the Brahma Sages of Ancient India between 3000-5000 years ago. The philosophy of Ayurveda sees the interconnectedness and balance between mind, body, soul, and the senses. As human beings, we want to maintain a state of equilibrium, but this is constantly in flux due to our way of living and our environment.
Ayurveda honours a healthy lifestyle and supports the idea that we can heal ourselves. If we can recognise our potential imbalances, we can take control of our health and begin to feel rejuvenated.
