A holistic view of the human being <\/span><\/p>\n

It is one of the world's oldest medical systems, with roots stretching deep into the Vedic scriptures \u2013 the same spiritual source from which yoga, meditation, mantra, and Vedanta have sprung. The word Ayurveda literally means \u201cknowledge of life\u201d (ayur = life, veda = knowledge), and Ayurveda sees all of life as an interplay between body, mind, soul, and the surrounding world.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ayurveda does not consider humans as an isolated body, but as a living expression of the universe's elements \u2013 earth, water, fire, air, and ether. These elements combine to form the three fundamental life energies, or doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.<\/span><\/p>\n
