The Sanskrit term Ayurveda means Knowledge of Life. It is one of the oldest health and wellbeing systems which evolved on the Indian subcontinent over 5000 years ago. The aim of Ayurvedic wisdom and health science is to preserve and protect the health of the healthy, heal the diseased and to promote human happiness and spiritual growth.

Ayurveda incorporates knowledge of the functional principles, known as Doshas, relating to the physiology and psychology of the individual. Imbalances and disease manifest differently in different people and for that reason Ayurveda looks at individual constitutions and offers customized treatments unique to individual needs. Unlike conventional approach, it is more than symptom management in that it addresses the root cause of disease, focussing on breaking the disease process and preventing it in future by re-establishing equilibrium through dietary and lifestyle modifications alongside herbal and mind-body healing therapies.

Ayurvedic wholistic perspectives could offer unique insights and comprehensive cost effective preventative and disease management approaches within the current and emerging healthcare paradigm. Ayurveda focusses in on the areas of digestive health and preventable metabolic and autoimmune conditions, chronic diseases, pain management and helps in understanding and navigating the many choices that affect our health and wellbeing.
