WHAT IS AYURVEDA

Ayurveda is an ancient science that has its foundations in the sacred writings of Hinduism and operates through a holistic conception of man.

It is configured as a medical and philosophical system in which illness and health represent processes in which the body, mind and spirit participate, and in which therapies such as massages, purification techniques, a balanced diet, lifestyle recommendations and meditation help to restore the balance compromised by illness.

Based on ethical principles such as non-violence and respect for nature, it focuses on the physical and therapeutic aspects, complementing the philosophy and practice of yoga in its spiritual aspects.
Finally, Ayurveda reminds people that the main goal in life is true freedom from dependence on the outside world.

The metaphysical vision of the body and the methodology for maintaining psychophysical health are materialized in a practical and detailed study of the human being through the development of a complete system of medicine, including branches such as internal medicine (kayacikitsa), surgery (shalyatantra ), ophthalmothorhinolaryngology (shalakyatantra), toxicology (agadatantra), gynecology and pediatrics (kaumara bhritya), the science of rejuvenation (rasayana), the use of aphrodisiacs (vajikarana), psychology (bhutavidya), whose techniques were taken as an example and are still used today in modern medicine.
Ayurveda was born in India, the cradle of Vedic civilization, around 2,000 years ago. The word Ayurveda means Science of Life and, in fact, contrary to what you might think, it is exactly that: Ayurvedic texts don't just deal with medicine, but also with philosophy, spirituality, cooking, constellations and all aspects of human life.
