AYURVEDA

Ayurveda sees everything in the universe, including human beings, as composed of five basic elements: space, air, fire, water and earth.

These five elements in turn combine with each other to give rise to three bio-physical forces -"Doshas"- within the human body. 

The central concept of Ayurvedic medicine is that health exists when there is a balance between the Tridoshas: three fundamental bodily humours or doshas called Vata, Pitta and Kapha. 

Tri' means 'Three' and 'Doshas' mean 'Humours'. 

Ayurveda seeks to treat the mind and body according to every person's Dosha.

For good health, each person has to maintain the balance of their doshas and not aggravate it and an imbalance in them is the cause of illness. It is thus essential to identify one's body type and follow dietary regimes according to the seasonal regimes to maintain optimum health. Ayurvedic treatment helps to restore this imbalance without any side effects.

The primary aim of Ayurveda is to balance the body's energies and thus restore health and vitality.

Health in Ayurveda means harmony, and there is no end to the degree of harmony you can achieve if you set yourself the task. We are meant to enjoy the pleasures of life, but there comes a point where such enjoyment can interfere with your health.

The practice of ayurveda is designed to promote human happiness, health and creative growth. It is the science of daily living and this system of knowledge evolved from the sage's practical, philosophical and religious illumination which was rooted in their understanding of the creation. Ayurveda helps the healthy person to maintain health and the diseased person to regain health.
