Ayurvedic Lifestyle Advice

What Is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine that has its roots in India. It is often considered one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems, with origins dating back over 5,000 years. In traditional practice, these two disciplines, Ayurveda and Yoga, are often referred to as ‘sister sciences’ and are used together.

Also known as the ‘science of life’, Ayurveda is a comprehensive system of healthcare that focuses on achieving and maintaining a balance of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It is based on the idea that health and wellness are dependent on a harmonious balance between the body, mind, and spirit and that imbalances in these areas can lead to illness.

The Ayurvedic system adheres to fundamental principles to uphold this equilibrium within every individual. These are:

Doshas

Ayurveda categorizes individuals into three primary constitutional types, or doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each dosha represents a unique combination of elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether) and influences a person’s physical and mental characteristics.

Balance & Imbalance

Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance of the doshas for optimal health. Imbalances can occur due to various factors, such as diet, lifestyle, stress, and environmental influences.

Treatment

Ayurvedic treatments typically involve a combination of herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, lifestyle modifications, specific yoga & meditation guidance, and other holistic practices to restore balance and promote well-being.

Individualised Care

Ayurveda recognizes that each person is unique, and treatment plans are tailored to an individual’s constitution and specific health needs. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach!

Prevention

Ayurveda places a strong emphasis on preventive healthcare to avoid the development of diseases and imbalances.
