Ayurveda directly translated from Sanskrit means the Science of Life and is the Indian art of healing and the science of longevity. Ayurveda focuses on the holistic health of patients, encompassing the mind, body, and spirit connection of wholeness in ensuring physical, mental, and spiritual balance. Modern scientists and medical experts agree that Ayurveda is the oldest medical system and the most holistic. The oral tradition and ancient wisdom of healing, prevention, and longevity was the basis of Ayurveda before it was ever written down. It emphasizes establishing balance in the mind, body, and spirit through diet, lifestyle, exercise, and body cleansing. The various forms of balance therapies include yoga, meditation, colors, herbs, aroma, diet, gems, cleansing, massages, and many more. By uniting the body, mind, and soul, the Ayurveda patient can restore the body’s immune system to equilibrium and foster longevity, a peaceful mind, and spirituality. An Ayurveda treatment is tailored to the individual. Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, it is believed that everyone has their own special mind, body, spirit combinations related to their doshas. The Pitta (air and space), Vata (Fire and water), and Kapha (Water and Earth) doshas are the basis of this balance. In Ayurveda, it is believed that health exists when there is equilibrium between three primary physical doshas called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. A person may have of a predominant dosha or constitution, but everybody has all 3 energies and will experience each dosha to a lesser or greater degree. When the doshas are in equilibrium they are called the Tridhatus. The body in which the three doshas are in a state of equilibrium is said to be in perfect health.
