Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word derived from two roots,  "Ayus'' and  "Veda'' can be translated in at least three different ways: " knowledge of life,'' " science of  longevity'' or " art of living''. Ayus, or life, represents a combination of the body, the sense organs,  the mind and the soul.

The Vedas are ancient Hindu books of knowledge that are said to have been divinely revealed to the sages of India many thousands of years ago.   They contain within them the knowledge, the rhythm, and the structure of the universe and the secrets of sickness and health.

AYURVEDA is an excellent guide for health and living in good way. Like many holistic therapies, the emphasis is on the mind, body and spirit-and in Ayurveda that spirituality is intrinsic to good health and a noble way of life. It aims not only to cure diseases but also create health and well-being.

 Ayurvedic theory is based on the individual constitution of a person, according to which he or she is susceptible to certain illnesses . Ayurveda considers the influence of  psychosomatic factors in most of the  basic constitutional factors that is responsible for causing an illness.

Treatment is aimed at restoring the disturbed mechanism. The basic constitutional factors are the three Doshas - Vata, Pitta, Kapha - and restoration of their dynamic balance regulates the life cycle and controls the entire body, so restoring health.

An Ayurvedic practitioner will assess and monitor the lifestyle of every patient including their diet, personal habits, hobbies, relationships, sex life, working and home conditions, spirituality and every other aspect of daily life - in order to provide advice that will ensure that imbalances do not occur.

A well-tuned Ayurvedic therapist will be versed in elements of spirituality, music, dance, cookery, language, astrology and of several other of disciplines that contribute to making a life well lived.
