What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is the worlds oldest known medical science.  'Ayu' means life and 'veda' meas knowledge, so literally it is the science of life.

Ayurveda explains how each individual is a unique composition of elements and specifies the diet and lifestyle practices necessary for people to keep themselves healthy and in harmony with their environment.

Using Ayurvedic principles, ailments such as digestive disorders, skin and congestive conditions can be successfully treated.  After determining your or your child's constitution, (vata, pitta or kapha), tailored diet and lifestyle advice can be given.  Ayurvedic herbs and foods, oil treatments, yoga and massage may also be used.
