Ayurveda
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Living
What is Ayurvedic Medicine ?
In sanskrit, “Ayur” means life et “Veda” is knowledge. Ayurveda, “the science of life”, is a 5000-year-old traditional medicine system finding its roots in the Indian subcontinent.
It aims to maintain harmony between the body, the mind and our living environment in order to cultivate an optimal state of health.

It does not simply treat symptoms, but targets imbalances at their root for lasting transformation.

Prevent illness and maintain good health
Listen more closely to your body and understand your metabolism and your unique needs
Balancing your diet and lifestyle
Tackling various health problems naturally
The essence of ayurveda, from the universe to the individual
Ayurveda is based on the principle that everything in the universe, including yourself, is made up of five elements:
Ether/Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth
The elements are not to be taken literally: they symbolically represent the states of matter. Space is the void that contains matter, Air is movement, Fire is transformation, Water is fluidity and Earth is solidity.
VATA: Ether + Air
PITTA: Fire + Water
KAPHA: Water + Earth
From the alliance of these elements comes life, whose intelligence is orchestrated by the doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The three doshas are present in a proportion unique to each living being, from the moment of conception in utero: this is known as Prakriti, the constitution innate to each individual.
An inadequate diet or lifestyle, or other external or karmic factors, can lead to a state of imbalance called Vrikrti. The aim of all Ayurvedic therapy is to maintain Prakriti, the state of balance, or to re-establish it if Vrikriti is present.
