Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine, began in India over 3,000 years ago. Its name means "knowledge of life" (Ayu for life, Veda for knowledge).
The central idea is that disease results from an imbalance in a person's awareness. Ayurveda seeks to restore this balance in the body, mind, spirit, and environment using lifestyle changes and natural therapies.
Treatment typically starts with an internal cleansing, followed by a specific diet, herbal medicine, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation. The main principles of Ayurveda are universal connection, a person's unique constitution (prakriti), and life forces (doshas).
The primary goals are to eliminate impurities, lessen symptoms, and boost the body's resistance to illness. The treatment also aims to reduce worry and bring more harmony to a person's life. Herbs, plants, oils, and spices are key components of Ayurvedic remedies.
