Ayurveda is derived from two Sanskrit words- ayur (the duration of life) and veda (knowledge). It is the world’s most ancient system of holistic health & self-healing; literally, the science of how to increase the duration and quality of one’s life.
Ayurveda provides a framework of principles for balancing the overall state of being that are applied uniquely for each individual depending on their constitutional makeup and current state of health/imbalances.
Understanding how the dosas manifest in and influence the body and mind empowers us to be able to recognize when things are out of balance, as well as what things to do to bring them back in balance
