Ayurveda translated from Sanskrit means “Science of Life” and is over 5000 year old traditional Indian system on medicines which is based on the fact that nature has provided us cure for all diseases in the form of plants and herbs.

In Ayurveda, health is a state of physical and spiritual attainment. The practice of ayurveda is designed to promote health, creative growth and human happiness. It is the science of day to day living and it has evolved from the sage’s practical, philosophical and religious illumination which was rooted in their understanding of the creation. Ayurveda helps a healthy person to gain wellness and a diseased person to regain health.

The body is made up of Tridoshas (Tri’ means ‘Three’ and ‘Doshas’ mean ‘Humours’) – Vata is Air, Pitta is Fire and Kapha is Water. Good health means a normalcy in the Tridoshas, balance of metabolic, systemic and excretory

functions, all five senses and in the mind and spirit. There are 7 constitutional doshas and each individual falls into any one of these categories: Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Vata-Pitta, Pitta-Kapha, Kapha-Vata, Vata-Pitta-Kapha.

Vata is predominant in Old age predominant in night, Pitta in the Middle age usually in afternoon and Kapha in Childhood during early morning. For good health, each person has to maintain the balance of their doshas and an imbalance in them is the cause of illness. It is thus essential to identify one’s body type and follow dietary regimes according to the season to maintain optimum health.

Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s primary purification and detoxification treatment which involves five therapies to eliminate toxins from the body. They are Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Basti and Raktamoskshana which help to remove deep rooted stress and illness-causing toxins from the body while balancing the doshas (energies that govern all biological functions).
