Ayerveda

Ayerveda is the ancient, 5000 year old art of healing founded in India. The parts of the word mean "life, knowledge". Ayerveda is based on the idea that healing comes from a holistic approach to the body using herbs, breathing techniques, diet, and a harmonious mindset with the world. Many important herbs that are popular today for healing have come from Ayerveda, like turmeric, gotu kola, and ashwaganda.
Ayerveda stresses the relationships between the five elements of air, space, fire, water, and earth. These elements and their relationships form the basis of each person. It is through practicing ayerveda that these elements are brought into harmony and rebalanced to help a person obtain optimal health and well-being.
