Ayurveda is an ancient system of holistic healing that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. The term “Ayurveda” is derived from the Sanskrit words “ayur,” meaning life, and “veda,” meaning knowledge or science. It is often referred to as the “science of life” or the “knowledge of longevity.”

It offers a holistic perspective on health, focusing on the individual’s unique constitution and the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Ayurvedic practitioners assess an individual’s dosha, current health status, and imbalances to provide personalized recommendations for improving health.
