Ayurveda evolved around 5000 years ago in India. Ayurveda literally means "science of life and longevity." It is a traditional holistic system of medicine and health care. It's a unique, indispensable branch of medicine - a complete naturalistic system that depends on the diagnosis of your body's humours - vata, pitta and kapha - to achieve the right balance.

Ayurveda believes in the treatment of not just the affected part, but the individual as a whole. Making it the natural way to refresh yourself, eliminate all toxic imbalances from the body and thus regain resistance and good health. It looks at healing in holistic fashion.
