Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge
Introducing Ayurveda, an ancient healing system from India, dates back 5,000 years. Translating to ‘science of life’, Ayurveda encompasses the profound knowledge of living. It’s seen as the mother or the source of all medicines.
Ayurveda is all about taking care of our mind, body, and spirit. Rituals play a big role in our daily life, keeping us grounded and boosting our spirits. They bring a deep sense of calm and balance. Each Ayurvedic ritual has its own special benefits and can be tailored to suit different skin types and seasons.
Dr Vasant Lad Ayurvedic Physician, BAM&S, MASC and author of 12 books on Ayurveda states: “Ayurveda is not just about treating diseases; it is about creating harmony in body, mind, and spirit.” [1]
