Ayurveda Workshop About Ayurveda:Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “The Science of Life.” Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is often called the “Mother of All Healing.” Ayurveda is the path to achieving complete harmony of body, mind, and spirit. It is a wisdom designed to help people realize their full potential. It is the only science that acknowledges the beauty and uniqueness of every being. Ayurveda establishes the foundation for a happy and healthy life, attained through a journey into health and well-being. It teaches us that each person is unique, and understanding our body and energies allows us to make choices that help us feel our best—whether through food, lifestyle, body treatments or simple daily habits. Ayurveda is the science that describes measures and protocols about what is conducive to life, what leads to happiness, and how to live in a way that benefits both ourselves and others. Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages the maintenance of health through close attention to balance in one’s life, right thinking, self care, lifestyle and the use of herbs and food as medicine. Last but not least Ayurveda is Yoga’s sister science.
