Ayurveda
means "Knowledge of Life” - Ayuhu = life and Veda = complete knowledge or
Devine knowledge. It is the science of life, prevention and longevity. Ayurveda
is the oldest and most holistic medical system available on the planet today.

Living in health and balance is the key to a long
life free from disease. Perhaps the most important lesson Ayurveda
has to teach is that our health is up to us.
Every day of our lives, every hour of every day, we
can, and do, choose either health or illness. When we choose wisely, nature
rewards us with health and happiness. When we persistently choose unwisely,
nature, in her wisdom, eventually sets us straight: She makes us sick and gives
us a chance to rest and rethink our choices.
Ayurveda – “Knowledge of Life
Ayurveda is an ancient science that covers many
healing systems utilising herbal medicines and herbal oil massage plus
considers climatic suitability, colours, diet, yoga, meditation, plus emotional
and mental balance.

The Three Primary Life Forces in the Body relate to the three humors of air (Vata), fire (Pitta) and water (Kapha). These three principle elements govern the growth, and decay of the human body. Whenever any of these three go out of ratio, or balance, then diseases start to appear in the body.
The air element (Vata) governs inhalation, exhalation, movements, discharges,
impulses and the human senses. The fire element (Pitta) deals with hunger, thirst, digestion, excretion, body warmth
and circulation. It also relates to the body strength, energy, youth,
intelligence and executive abilities. The water element (Kapha) controls the stability, lubrication, movements, body luster,
digestive tract, glands and fluids of the body.

All patients, before treatment, first have their constitution
analysed through the Q&A Process and face-to-face consultation to
understand the body's balance; it is also helpful if a patient has any previous
doctor's findings and scans.
We then commence treatment using herbal medicines
and 2, 3 or 4 massage and specialised therapies a day, depending on your needs (1 1/2 to 2 hours per session).
We also teach a client to become familiar with their own body type, so it is up to them also to bring balance to their body through the food they eat and how they eat them, plus incorporate practices such as daily exercise, rest and massage.

Everybody has all three energies, though people
experience each of them to a greater or lesser degree. Ayurveda can be a mirror
that reflects our true nature and maps out the path for a return to the lives
of vitality that we are meant to have.

The primary treatment for re-balancing your body
is Panchakarma which is administered over a period of 14
days and the selection of the treatment methods depends up on the condition of
the patient's health and illness.
Panchakarma treatment is Ayurveda's
primary purification and detoxification treatment used to eliminate deep rooted
stress and illness-causing toxins from the body while balancing the doshas -
energies that govern all biological functions.
