The knowledge of life. (Ayu: life: Veda knowledge of)

Ayurveda is an age-old way of fife. And an ancient system of medicine that operates in tune with nature. Making it a more Holistic and natural healing technique that believes, in stark contrast to the modern medical system, in treating the individual rather than the disease.

Based entirely the premise that the individual is but a microcosm of the macrocosm, the universe. It flows that a complete understanding of not only the mind, body and spirit are in order, but a study of the psychological, dietary, behavioral, life-style and environmental factors are equally important before any formula treatment can be offered to an individual.

And because each person is an entity unto himself, his unique personality as well as his psychosomatic peculiarities (if any), are also taken into account. Making the “patient” an equal partner in the healing.
