What is Ayurveda?

It stems from the ancient Vedic culture and was taught for many thousands of years in an oral tradition from accomplished masters to their disciples. The best ways of describing what the meaning of Ayurveda is ‘ the science of lifeʼ or ‘the knowledge about lifeʼ or ‘ a sensible way of livingʼ. Ayurveda is also a system of medicine in the sense that is systemises and applies the knowledge about health and diseases. Itʼs based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Its main goal is to promote good health, not fight disease.
