Ayurveda is the oldest medicinal system  — a powerful holistic approach of natural healing and longevity, that restores the individual to their natural state of balance and harmony, which is true health. It is a holistic science based on nature’s cycles and principles with the concept of prevention, recovery and longevity.  

Āyurveda आयुर्वेद  comes from the sanskrit words Ayuh (life) and Veda (knowledge or science) and literally means the “science of life”. As part of the Vedas, it’s wisdom dates back more than 5,000 years, originated in India. 

 

This ancient science has been used for thousands of years for all sorts of ailments and disorders. Each person is approached as a unique individual who holds the keys to their own self-healing: Ayurveda is a medical system, that focuses on the individual’s unique physical, mental and spiritual constitution, including the entire universe and nature:
 

• Prakruti: One’s natural constitution from the moment of conception, where body mind and spirit are in a state of Sattva (harmony, balance, clarity, consciousness).

• Vikruti: One’s current state of disbalance.

​

​

Ayurveda guides you how to live in harmony with nature and it’s rhythms & cycles. When you live in alignment with nature, you realign with your own unique human nature, means you move Vikruti towards Prakruti. This is the state of true health and wellbeing. You have the memory of perfect health at a cellular level. But it became common to accept disbalance, ailments and disorders as something „normal“, as part of life. Ayurveda reminds your body and mind what it is to be truly healthy.

 

Ayurveda does not focus on disease or pathology. Rather, it maintains that all life must be supported by energy in balance. When one is in a state of balance, then true health reflects in the harmonious function of the whole individual, where body, mind and spirit work together. No system can work in isolation. Therefore, the goal is not to treat or suppress symptoms, but to restore balance by eliminating the root cause of imbalance. When the root cause of imbalance is removed, symptoms disappear and there is a sense of wellbeing.

 

Within nature, there are five elements (earth, water, fire, air & space), that compose everything in the universe, including the human body and mind.

In order to live in harmony with nature and to restore balance, Ayurveda guides you to tune in and become aware of your own unique constellation of the five elements: Earth, water, fire, air & space.

​

In Ayurveda there are three elemental types, known as Doshas (that which goes out of balance).

 

• Vata (air + space): cold, dry and light - creative and changeable.

• Pitta (fire + water): hot, light and sharp - fiery, competitive and driven.

• Kapha (earth + water): cold, moist and heavy - retaining water, easy going and hard to motivate.

​

The doshas fuel Agni (and vice versa). Agni is our digestive fire — Our capacity to digest not only food, but also life, meaning all mental intake, thoughts and emotions.

​​​​

Ayurveda helps to strengthen Agni, balance the Doshas and to bring your body and mind back to its true, natural state of health through profound holistic practices and changes:
