The literal Sanskrit translation of 'Ayu' means life and 'Veda' means science. So, Ayurveda is simply the science of this vast life.
You need not go scouring for any mysteries or secrets when it comes to Ayurveda as it holds none; instead, this 5000-year-old science, which originated in India is purely built on ancient, time-tested wisdom that is all about nurturing overall well-being.
Let us help you understand the Ayurvedic philosophy
We are all unique in our ways, and Ayurveda is the only science that makes us believe so.
According to Ayurveda, the human body is composed of 'Panchamahabhuta' (five basic elements of nature):
Prithvi (earth), Jal (water), Agani (fire), Vaayu (air) and Akasha (ether)
When these elemental derivatives are associated with the life element (soul), the human body lives its life. A healthy balance is essential to be in sync with the universe and it helps you flourish while an unhealthy imbalance leads to physical diseases and mental illness.
Once upon a time...
The story of how Ayurveda came into existence goes back to the ancient Vedas, talking about how the use of Indian herbs and traditional practices started when the first signs of poor health and illnesses started appearing in the world. The concoctions were then brewed to cure, combat, and prevent ailments. It didn't just stop at concoctions; tools, rituals, and routines started coming into being. Thus, teaching one and all to live optimally, utilise nature and align with approaches that are about loving and honouring ourselves.
The beauty of Ayurveda is such that even today, the power of those lepams (herbal masks), kansas (tools made of copper), and tailams (oils) cannot be ignored. Ayurveda has and will continue to play a significant role in our life's spiritual, physical, physiological, and psychological components — all focused on promoting lifelong wellness.
"THERE IS NO GREATER GIFT THAN LIVING IN A BODY THAT IS BALANCED, NOURISHED, AND WELL AND A SOUL THAT IS EMPOWERED AND HEALED."
