Ayurveda is India’s most ancient and traditional system of medicine, with roots dating back 3,000 to 5,000 years, making it the oldest surviving healing tradition in the world. Passed down through generations, Ayurveda is based on centuries of experience in medical practice. The name "Ayurveda" comes from the Sanskrit words "Ayu," meaning life, and "Veda," meaning knowledge, signifying "The Science of Life." This holistic system focuses on maintaining the health of the body, mind, and spirit, viewing life as a balance of senses, mind, body, and soul. Unlike many medical systems that focus solely on physical symptoms, Ayurveda offers a comprehensive understanding of spiritual, mental, and social well-being, positioning itself as a philosophy and science dedicated to healing the whole person.

​

Despite the changes the world has undergone, Ayurveda has endured as a timeless science. Nature plays a role in shaping the longevity of systems, and Ayurveda, having weathered the trials of time, continues to emerge as a leading alternative healthcare system. Though its written texts are 5,000 years old, the oral tradition behind Ayurveda stretches back even further, underscoring its ageless relevance.

Fundamental Principles of Ayurveda

Ayurveda describes three primary biological energies—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—also known as the “tri-energies.” These energies govern not only the universe but also the processes within every living being. Vata controls movement, Pitta governs heat and transformation, and Kapha oversees growth, structure, and lubrication. The balance of these tri-energies within the body determines health and harmony, while their imbalance leads to disease and disorder.

​

Our diet, behavior, emotions, the seasons, and lifestyle all influence the balance of these energies. The central principle of healing in Ayurveda is to restore and maintain this balance through lifestyle adjustments, mindful thinking, diet, and the use of herbal medicines.

The Sanskrit verse, "Samadosha samagnischa samadhatu malakriya prasanna atma indriya mana swastha iti abhidhiyate", emphasizes that a state of health is achieved when the doshas (energies), Agni (digestive fire), Dhatus (tissues), and waste functions are balanced, and when the soul, sensory organs, and mind are in a cheerful state.
