Ayurveda is an ancient health care tradition that origninated at least 5,000 years ago. It was documented in the sacred historical texts known as the Vedas many centuries ago. Ayurveda has evolved over the years and is now integrated with many other traditional practices, including yoga.
The word Ayurveda comes from the Indian scholar language Sanskrit and is combined of ayur = life and veda = science. With ist scientifically documented history of more than 3,000 years, it is the oldest medical system worldwide, mainly spread over the Indian subcontinent. Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages maintaining health by paying close attention to balance in one’s life through right thinking, diet, lifestyle and use of herbs.
Ayurveda proposes highly customised treatment plans because according to Ayurveda principles, each individual has a specific constitution that determines his or her physical, physiologic and mental charecteristics and disease vulnerabilities.
