Ayurvedic medicine or Ayurveda, is an ancient healing system from India that emphasizes balance among mind, body, and spirit for overall health. It asserts that each person has a unique combination of life forces, or “doshas,” derived from universal elements. Imbalance among these doshas can lead to illness. Treatment in Ayurveda is personalized and may include diet, herbal remedies, massage, meditation, and yoga, aiming for harmony within the individual and with the surrounding environment.
