The ancient Indian study and practise of Ayurveda concerns the science of life, and how we holistically merge with the world around us.
A complementary practice to mainstream healthcare, Ayurveda is considered both a form of alternative medicine and a lifestyle guide.
Developed over thousands of years, the Ayurvedic doctrine focuses on the overall balance and harmony of life. When used as a healing tool, Ayurvedic diagnoses are based on the state of a patient’s mind, body and life situation. Concerned with the body’s overall energy, or ‘prana’, Ayurvedic exercise and dietary recommendations revolve around the body’s energy centres. Many yoga centre, massage therapists and holistic health centres incorporate Ayurvedic techniques, specifically related to the five senses: smell, taste, sight, touch and sound.
As a medicinal tool, Ayurveda thought aims to cultivate overall wellbeing through a preventative approach, rather than relying on restorative action after an illness has set in. More information on how Ayurveda works can be found here.
Would love to practice this Ayurveda, but can someone tell me how to pronounce it?!
