Ayurvedic medicine, called Ayurveda in short, was developed by Indian sages 1000s of years ago, before modern research found evidence of the mind-body connection. Ayurveda is considered one of the world's oldest holistic “whole-body” healing systems. Much-respected holistic healing systems such as Greek Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as, Tibetian medicine all have their roots in Ayurvedic therapies. They all contain various concepts that are described in the classical Ayurvedic Medical texts that date back to as early as 6th century BC.
Ayurveda is, in fact, the science of life! ‘Ayur’ means ‘life’ while ‘Veda’ is translated as ‘knowledge’ or ‘science’. Ayurveda offers a body of wisdom that allows us to realize our full human potential while enabling us to stay healthy and dynamic. According to Ayurveda, health is a balanced and active blending of our environment, body, mind, and spirit.Ayurvedic massages are more than just a way to treat illnesses. Ayurveda massage therapy offers a proactive approach to re-balance and restore health. To enhance and maintain our health, various ayurvedic texts lay down guidelines for ideal daily and seasonal routines and diets we should follow, along with behavioral guides, and the proper way to use senses.
The human body and mind are intricately connected in such a way that the mind has the power to heal and transform the body. Incorrect diets are believed to be behind seventy percent of ailments while the remaining causes include lifestyle, negative emotions and thoughts, hereditary or genetic issues and energy imbalances. Ayurvedic treatments are aimed at revealing the deeper and primary causes of an individual’s health conditions. At birth, every human being is blessed with a unique proportion of the three doshas or biologic principles namely - vata, pitta, kapha. These represent our genetic code and they have a major role in the formation of our mental and physical characteristics.
The two key guiding principles of Ayurveda are:
According to Ayurveda, each human being is made of five elements (air, space, water, fire and earth) which when well-balanced create health and when imbalanced, create disease. These basic elements combine into three doshas (constitutions): pitta, kapha and vata. Well, the unique combination of these three doshas in each person has a particular influence on his or her mental, physical and emotional tendencies. By determining which dosha(s) are dominant, a person can make the most appropriate diet and lifestyle choices which will eventually help maintain balance and promote overall health and well being.

Pitta’s elemental makeup consists of fire and water. Pitta regulates all the metabolic processes in the body as well as body temperature & hormonal balance. Thirst, Hunger, and intelligence are associated with Pitta.
Vata means to blow or move like the wind. Consisting of the elements air & ether, it is the principle force of motion in the body and mind. Vata is responsible for our energy and movement as well as for nerve impulses. Speech, Breath, circulation, and digestion are all the manifestation of Vata.
Kapha governs the structure of the body. Kapha meets the elements of earth and water. Kapha controls growth, weight, lubrication for the joints and lungs. Kapha is responsible for solidity and all structures as well as for the right amount of body fluids.
AWell, in Ayurveda, an everyday ritual of self-care is termed as Dinacharya. Dinacharya means “daily routine” in Sanskrit language. According to Ayurveda, to be healthy optimally, we must tune our bodies in accordance to the master cycle of nature which eventually regulates different other rhythms.
