Ayurveda is Sanskrit for “the knowledge of life or daily living”. It is an ancient healing system from India that is still practiced alongside western medicine today.

This system of medicine is based on the wisdom that humans come from nature, that we are an integral part of the universe, and that we have a responsibility to the planet. It teaches that the balance of the universe lives within us. Living within the laws of nature and establishing a lifestyle that is in harmony with our particular constitution or “dosha” allows us to maintain whole health.

At birth, five elements (earth, air, water, ether and fire) come together in an individual in various combinations. The elements that predominate define your nature or constitution. In general, if air and ether predominate in your constitution, then you are “Vata” in nature; if fire and water predominate, then you are “Pitta”; if water and earth predominate, you are “Kapha”. It is important to understand your basic constitution because each dosha has different needs.

When we eat and behave in ways which support our constitution and our environment, we are likely to stay clean, clear and healthy. Understanding the basic concepts of Ayurveda can empower us to make the changes necessary to take control over our lives to attain a sense of well being.
