AYURVEDA – Is it relevant today?

Ayurveda means ‘Science or Wisdom of Life’. It is an ancient holistic way of living – a system of healing and wellbeing using diet, herbs, bodywork ( Yoga), cleansing, Breathing ( Pranayama) and meditation.
It’s goal is to balance and harmonise our whole self and our living in harmony with nature, all beings and the Universe.

The practice, healing and advice is not given en masse – the same to everbody and it doesn’t treat us as separate parts – it takes account of our individual unique natures and seeks to balance the whole body on all levels. Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Ayurveda recognises three forms of life energy ( Prana) as the basis for health and disease – these are known as the three doshas or biological humors.
Vata (Air) Pitta (Fire) and Kapha ( Water). Most people have a dominant dosha, some people have two doshas in roughly equal proportion and others three fairly balanced doshas – this is your constitutional type (your individual mind/body type) or Vrkriti. Ayurveda considers this unique make up and seeks to keep the doshas balanced and freely flowing so keeping us healthy and at ease on all levels.
