About Ayurveda Ayu means life and Veda means knowledge, and so Ayurveda is often referred to as the “Science of Life” – however it is more an instruction for enhancing life and is both a living system of Ayurvedic medicine and one of the oldest continuously practiced in the world. Ayurveda is the traditional holistic health system in India and is more than 5,000 years old. It uses a constitution based model (the doshas) for determining your state of health and works as a form of mind-body medicine. Thousands of years ago, India’s Rishis and seers observed the rhythms of the universe and the interaction of the flow of energy throughout the body/mind during deep states of meditation – these insights form the basis of Ayurveda and were documented in ancient Indian texts such as the Charaka Samhita
