What is Ayurveda?

The word ‘AYURVEDA’ originates from the ancient language of Sanskrit, ‘AYUR’ meaning ‘LIFE’ and ‘VEDA’ meaning ‘SCIENCE’, therefore, ‘SCIENCE OF LIFE’. In Sanskrit, this word has a wider meaning, which includes the life of plants, animals as well as other living beings.

The Ayurvedic medical system is known as the most complete healing system throughout the world. The magnitude of what this means and the body of knowledge it encompasses are yet unknown ant not so fully understood in today’s society. In short it can be described as esoteric in its nature.

What are Ayurveda Oils?

Ayurveda oils are one of the oldest traditions of Ayurvedic remedies. For centuries the people of the Orient have been applying massage oils to keep their body trim and to tone their muscles. These oils are blended according to ancient time-tested formulae to provide a unique purity and goodness, and to balance the three doshas. These Herbal Oils are made only from Ayurvedic plant extracts and are void of any artificial colours, preservatives, or animal fat.

Do Ayurveda Medications Really Work?

Ayurvedic medications are mostly herbal preparations and some include natural mineral preparations. All herbs or minerals possess the following properties according to Ayurveda.

RASA - Taste
GUNA
GUNA - Quality
VIRYA - Potency (Heating or cooling effects)
VIPAKA - Effect after digestion and metabolism
PRABHAVA - Specific power of the substance

In general, all herbs have the power to increase or decrease the three doshas, Vata, Pitta or Kapha, to different extents and in different combinations.

Classical Ayurveda applies theory into practice. Firstly, by diagnosing an alteration of Dosha State, the physician will then prescribe suitable herbs in single or combined form, with the appropriate dosage to control ailments.
