Ayurveda
Ayurveda is the medicine that has stood the test of time, with the aim of preserving health and eliminating disease from the root.Taking birth in India several thousands of years ago, a congregation of rishis from the Himalayas passed on this ancient knowledge orally to a lineage of sages and created the oldest written texts in Ayurveda: The Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and the Ashtanga Hrudaya. Ayurveda has journeyed around the world to the Chinese, Tibetans, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Persian Civilisations. It is only in the last century that the ancient healing system of Ayurveda has taken a back bench and dominated by modern allopathic medicine. Today there are many misconceptions about Ayurveda, such as, it takes a long time, the medicines contain heavy metals which are harmful to the body, that it cannot be utilized in acute care medicine, or that it is unsafe.. ….. By experiencing the authenticity of the Ayurvedic knowledge and practices, such misconceptions will fail to arise. (please see FAQ Section for more details)
	We are living in a modern era where people’s lifestyles are a whirlwind of chaos, our five senses are bombarded and as a result there is a disruption to the natural rhythm of life. Ayurveda is that which brings us back to the rhythm of nature. Ayur means “life” and Veda is “the science” Recognising that the science of life is embedded in natures elements: earth, water, fire, air and space and that the elements are part of our very existence.
In times of global warming and environmental disruption, mankind is questioning the relationship between having a healthy earth and having a healthy mind and body. Ayurveda insists that within natures balance lies all the remedies for good health.
