The
ancient teaching of Ayurveda, 'the Science of Long Life', is
the oldest documented body of holistic medical knowledge.
Originating in India over 5,000 years ago, it was codified in its
most important text, the Charaka Samhita, in the 2nd century BCE.
This text travelled with traders and physicians to China, the
ancient Middle East, Egypt and Europe, profoundly influencing the
development of plant-based healing all over the world.Prevention oriented, Ayurveda offers a wide range of holistic treatments that are both natural and effective. It is uniquely empowering, as it allows you to get back in touch with your body’s innate healing intelligence and thereby take the responsibility for restoring and maintaining your own good health.
Ayurvedic treatments include prescribed herbal preparations and medicated oil massages, as well as easy and enjoyable home routines of diet and lifestyle. All of the treatments are tailored to your individual mind-body type. By removing deep-seated toxins and stresses from the system, they restore harmony and balance in the physiology.
The results are wide-ranging. As well as alleviating many specific complaints these treatments can leave you looking younger, feeling better and enjoying more energy, as well as acting to normalise your weight and prolong your life.
By taking into account your body, mind and surroundings, Ayurveda locates you as a spiritually participating part of the wider cosmos, and aims at unfolding your full potential in the light of this connection. This vision extends the concept of good health far beyond any current allopathic paradigm, while forming a practical antidote to the pressures of modern living.
