Ayurveda The Sanskrit term \'Ayurveda\' is composed of two words: Ayus - meaning life + Veda - meaning knowledge.
So the literal meaning of Ayurveda is Knowledge of Life. Ayurveda considers Life as a combination of mind, body and spirit – all equally important in determining a person’s health.
Ayurveda recognises that everyone has their own unique constitution which requires individual diet, health and lifestyle practices. In Ayurvedic philosophy, the natural world in which we live is made up of five elements:
Earth, air, water, fire, and ether.
When these are in balance within the environment of our bodies, health is easy to maintain.
