What is Ayurveda? Ayurveda is a science of natural health care that originated approximately 5,000 years ago as a sister science to yoga. Ayurvedic teachings are timeless and complimentary to other forms of healthcare. As a healing science that helps one understand his or her own unique constitution, Ayurveda help us find greater balance.
How one starts the day can have a tremendous influence on the quality of the day and one's overall health. Ayurveda therefore includes the incorporation of seasonal and daily routines. It is highly attuned to changes in nature including climate, season, and time of day. When one achieves balance in lifestyle, optimal health and vitality can be achieved. Ayurveda offers the world a system of preventive medicine. It also excels in dealing with chronic illnesses. Both of these areas present the greatest challenges to western medicine.
The word Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that translates as “the science of life”. "Ayuh" means life and "Veda" means science or knowledge. From an ayurvedic perspective, the body, mind and spirit or consciousness are all connected. An ayurvedic approach to healing includes paying attention to nutrition, sleep, rest, activity, physical surroundings, social interactions, work, play and daily routine. Optimal health can only be achieved when it includes emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
Ayurveda is considered the sister science of Yoga, offering health and healing. Likewise, Yoga is the spiritual side of Ayurveda. Both Ayurveda and Yoga strive to help a person re-connect to their true nature through optimal health. Together, they encompass a complete approach to the well-being of body, mind, and spirit.
