DEFINING AYURVEDA

The Science of Ayurveda is believed as a universal consciousness in Indian tradition, an eternal science that had preexisted mankind. Well, in a way this isn’t that far fetched an idea, herbs and their properties exist always whether we can discover it or not.

Ayurveda and Yoga (the physical, mental and spiritual practices) together forms what is the ancient Indian medical science. Ancient Indian rishis and mystics meditated not for seeking out any gods, but to seek knowledge. The understand the nature of reality itself. Ayurveda, just like Yoga has deep roots and evolution going back three to five thousand years and more. It is built on coded knowledge, however as all Indian texts are ‘open source’ system, it also allows for subtle changes and modifications depending on teachers own experience and uniqueness of each individual. Ayurveda is based on sound logic and observation that is now being subject to modern medical scrutiny and often found compatible to modern science.
