Ayurveda has been India's
system of holistic medicine for over
5,000 years. The essence of Ayurveda
is living in harmony with nature to
promote wellness. According to
Ayurvedic wisdom, everything is
comprised of five elements: aether
(space), air, fire, water and earth.
These five elements are held together
by three energies called "doshas"
(Vata, Pitta and Kapha). These
elements control everything in the
universe including forces within the
human body. Keeping doshas in
balance promote wellness and vitality.
