What is Ayurveda? A journey to self discovery

Ayurveda is a combination of two words from Sanskrit, "Ayur" meaning life, and "Veda" meaning knowledge. Ayurveda can be translated as 'the knowledge, or science, of life.' This knowledge serves two purposes: maintaining health and preventing and/or curing illness.

An Ayurvedic lifestyle contributes to creating more self-awareness. By living a lifestyle that aligns with your needs, you'll notice physical, emotional and mental improvements. You can feel more vital, resilient, and can experience increased energy and self-confidence. See it as a journey to self-discovery!

Adopting an Ayurvedic lifestyle can strengthen your immune system, leading to a gradual disappearance of symptoms and reduced susceptibility to illness. The Ayurvedic principles are applicable to everyone in every stage of life.

What is Health?

Ayurveda views the body, mind, soul, and senses as a holistic entity. Health is considered when all four are in balance, and this balance can be maintained through our diet, lifestyle, and mindset.

Although Ayurveda has a strong focus on the physical body, its effects extend to other areas. Remember, they are all connected. A healthy body and mind enable our senses to perceive accurately, influencing the interpretations we form.
