The term “Ayurveda” is derived from two words in Sanskrit, “ayuh” meaning “life” and “veda” meaning “science” or “sacred knowledge”.

It is a 5000 year old sacred repository of holistic healing that has been handed down through classical texts and communities. This extensive system of plant medicine is designed to harmonize and balance the relationship between the universe and our bodies based on three elemental energies; Vāta (air & space), Pitta (fire & water), and Kapha (water & earth).
