What is Ayurveda Ayurveda is the 5,000 year old “Science of Life” from India. The term Ayurveda comes from the Sanskrit terms "Ayu" meaning "life" and "Veda" meaning "knowledge". The literal translation of "Ayurveda" is "knowledge of life" or "right living". The Ayurveda studies the physical and psychic behaviour of people and prescribes ways for them to synchronize with their environment so as to live happy, healthy and inspired lives.
Much emphasis in Ayurveda is given to diet, following the cycles of the seasons, getting up before dawn and other useful practices for enriching life. Information dealing with diseases, their diagnosis and cures also exists within Ayurveda.
This Ayurveda knowledge is grounded in the Vedic scriptures and was also strongly influenced by the Tantric traditions. The science of health formulated by these seers was as intensely spiritual as it was practical. For those of us who are tired of the schism between mysticism and science, Ayurveda offers a comprehensive system that connects all the dots in a way that is both timeless and eternal. It is the only approach to healing that has always taken into account not only the effects of climate, diet, and life style on health but also the subtle ways in which well being is impacted by emotional and spiritual issues.
