Ayurveda:Ayurveda is a health science, the oldest and most complete healing system known today. The word Ayurveda, derived from 2 sanskrit terms, literally means: the knowledge of life. At the heart of Ayurveda lies the concept of 3 ‘doshas’: Kapha, Pitha and Vatha. These doshas are present in everyone and the predominance of one over another determines ones body type and constitution. Balancing the three harmoniously will promote a healthy body and mind. India’s Sages prescribed Ayurveda several millennia ago and it is now gaining in popularity throughout the West, as its systems are more relevant than ever in treating the diseases of the modern age. This holistic treatment involves various types of massage and oil applications, inhalations, diet, and natural medicines as required. Treatment plans are as individual as people.
