Ayurveda, which literally means “the science or knowledge of life” is the traditional medical system of India. Its origin dates back an estimated 5,000 years, it is widely considered to be the oldest form of healthcare in the world and is often referred to as the “Mother of all healing”. The knowledge of Ayurveda has its written origins in the Vedas, the sacred texts of India, believed to be the oldest writings in the world.
Ayurveda is based on the premise that disease is the natural end result of living out of harmony with our inner and outer environment and therefore Ayurveda's approach to healing is to reestablish harmony between self and environment. When the body and mind are in harmony, normal physiology is restored and healing takes place.
Ayurveda understands each person and the disease the person is manifesting as a unique entity. It could be said that no two people are alike, and two diseases are alike. Ayurvedic medicine looks for a treatment that will cure an individual person of their unique presentation of the disease. Since no disease affects people in exactly the same way, no two cures are exactly the same.
Ayurveda enables one to understand how to create balance of body, mind and consciousness according to one’s individual constitution. Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, each person has a particular pattern of energy - an individual combination of physical, mental and emotional characteristics - which comprises their own constitution. Balance is the natural order; imbalance is disorder. Health is order; disease is disorder. When one understands the nature and structure of disorder, one can re-establish order.
