What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda means “wisdom of life”.
It is the medical branch of yoga, an unconventional medicine originating from India that has existed for thousands of years and which aims to find harmony between body and mind.
Ayurveda is above all:
- An art of living, an invitation to create space in your life to take care of yourself and know yourself better.
- An incentive to reconnect with nature and our own nature.
- An encouragement to adapt our lifestyle according to our unique physical and psychological constitution, influenced by the presence of the five elements and their characteristics.
The word Ayurveda comes from the contraction of two words:
Ayur which means Life and Veda which means Wisdom .
Ayurveda is based on the theory of the 5 elements that surround us on a daily basis since they make up nature, plants, animals and our body.
We are surrounded by the 5 elements (dosha): space, air, earth, water and fire. Nature (animals, plants) and we are made of the same elements.
These 5 elements give rise to the 3 doshas:
Vata , Pitta , and Kapha, 3 great vital forces that create the body, make it function and destroy it.
Vata
Air and Space Element
Pitta
Fire Element
Kapha
Water and Earth Element
