Ayurveda – a life of balance 

Originating in India, Ayurveda is a 5,000 year old health science that teaches and guides us how to live a life of good health, balance and happiness. Using a vast expansive body of knowledge, Ayurveda shows us ways not only to prevent illness but also how acute and chronic diseases can be effectively treated. The knowledge, methods and practices have been passed down the generations by word of mouth and, through the scriptures written by authors such as Charaka, Sushruta and Vagbhata. In modern times these Sanskrit texts have been skillfully translated to modern language and through increasing awareness the Ayurvedic knowledge is now being taught and practiced throughout the world, both in the East and West.

Ayurveda works with the basic understanding of opposites – like increases like, but if we apply opposites we can decrease and balance. For example, put very simply: in excess heat we cool and if too dry, we add oil or moisture. By maintaining balance and equilibrium and avoiding excessiveness we can ensure that vitality, strong immunity and energy is provided for the mind and body.
