the ancient science
Why is ayurveda so powerful?
Ayurveda is an ancient science that recognises that everything outside of us affects what goes on inside - the food we eat, the supplements we take, the seasons, the environment, the type of exercise we do and the therapies we receive.
All of these influences have a particular type of impact on your body, mind and emotions. As you understand yourself better, you will notice how your health, relationships and quality of life improve.
According to the healing science of Ayurveda, every living and non-living thing in the universe is made up of a combination of five basic elements – space, air, fire, water and earth.
Unlock the Secrets to a Balanced Life
The type of exercise and therapies we choose can profoundly affect our body, mind, and emotions. Understanding the five elements and three doshas is crucial for cultivating a balanced and fulfilling life.
Knowledge of the five elements and the three doshas is essential in order to lead happy and healthy lives. When they are in balance, we are able to function at our highest level as human beings.
By understanding the positive and negative aspects of each element and dosha, we can design our life in such a way that we can live the life we want to - healthy, happy and fulfilled.
