What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is the oldest known medical system.  It is the Mother of all healing systems.  It is a five thousand year old Vedic Science of life, (Ayur= life, Veda= knowledge, science).  Ayurveda is the traditional healing system of India and the medical side of the yogic science.

It includes all methods of healing from diet, herbs, exercise and life style regiments to yogic practices and meditation.  With its unique understanding of individual constitution, Ayurveda provides the insight for each person and each culture to create a way of life in harmony with nature and one’s higher Self.

As Yoga is the science of spiritual development aiming at Self-realization, so is Ayurveda the science of proper living aiming to establish perfect health in body and mind.
