Ayurveda, often referred to as the "science of life," is one of the oldest holistic healing systems that originated in ancient India over 5,000 years ago. The word "Ayurveda" is derived from Sanskrit, where "Ayur" means life, and "Veda" means knowledge or science. It encompasses a comprehensive approach to health and wellness, focusing on the balance between mind, body, and spirit.

Central to Ayurvedic philosophy is the belief that each individual is unique, with their own distinct constitution or "prakriti." This constitution is determined by a combination of three fundamental energies, or doshas, known as Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These doshas govern various physiological and psychological functions within the body and mind. When the doshas are in balance, a person experiences good health, while an imbalance leads to illness.
