The way forward is to go back

Ayurveda is the ancient Indian science of life that can help us get back to our natural and balanced state. Based on the study of the laws of nature and how they apply to humankind, Ayurveda literally means "The Science of Life and Longevity". Ayus means Life and Veda means Science. It is as relevant today as it was 5 000 years ago when it began.

Considered by the World Health Organization as the world's most complete and oldest system of natural, holistic medicine, Ayurveda has been in continuous use throughout this time. It is regarded as the great, great, great grandfather of all systems of medicine in the world. When our constitution is balanced, we are in an optimally healthy state. We can achieve this best in an environment where less is more and simplicity and nature abound.

We are part of nature, and the same laws that govern nature, govern us.

We are, all of us, intricately bound to nature and her rhythms. Her unchanging laws govern our life - our body, senses, mind and spirit. According to Ayurveda, we are each unique individuals made up of varying proportions of the five elements of nature - space, air, fire, water, earth. These elements in the body are the organizing principles known as doshas. The three doshas of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, in different combinations, create your unique body type and determine how we interact with the world.

How the 5 primordial elements of space, air, fire, water and earth come together in the body as functional intelligence or Doshas, is a fundamental tool of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is undergoing a global revival as the most natural and complete system of medicine the world has ever known. It is now being used to help an ailing humankind on every continent in the world.
