Ayurvedic medicine originated in India and combines the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and ved (science or knowledge), which literally means “the science of life”. Many Ayurvedic therapies predate written records and have been passed down by word of mouth. Practiced throughout Asia for thousands of years, Ayurveda has recently become more popular in Western culture.
The basic principle of Ayurvedic medicine is to prevent and cure disease, rather than responding to disease indicators, while maintaining balance and harmony between body, mind and environment. This is done through a personalized combination of healthy eating, daily exercise, aromatherapy, and herbal remedies.
Ayurveda supports the revitalizing and stimulating idea that we have the ability to heal ourselves. Once you realize your potential imbalances, you can take control of your health and start incorporating Ayurvedic therapies to feel healthier, improve your fitness, and become happier and rejuvenated.
Today, integrative medicine is evolving as practitioners of many healing approaches around the world seek to collaborate. There are more and more opportunities to mix and integrate more traditional health approaches with Ayurveda and other healing therapies. You can integrate Ayurveda into your wellness routine by consulting a doctor practicing its techniques or visiting a spa that offers such services.
