What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is the oldest holistic science of healing in the universe. With more than 5000 years of history and practice in the Indian subcontinent, it is referred to as the “Mother medicinal system”, in that all medicinal systems are born out of Ayurveda and flow out of Ayurveda. Ayurveda’s teachings are both timeless and time-tested.

Ayurveda was first mentioned in the Vedas—the oldest manuscripts in human civilization. Vedic knowledge has been preserved in India, and so Ayurveda is also called the Indian medicinal system. It is a holistic system of healing, the art of living, plant-based medicinal system, the art of being, and much more.

I would define Ayurveda as the Ocean of Knowledge. Since we know the depth and the volume of water in an Ocean is not measurable, we can then define Ayurvedic Knowledge as being as deep and profound as the Ocean. However, while the water in the ocean may taste salty, the knowledge in Ayurveda is very sweet. You will want it more and more!

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term, composed two words “Ayur” and “Veda”. Ayur means life and Veda means knowledge, science, and study. Combining these two different words together we can say Ayurveda is the study of life, knowledge of life, or science of life. Simply put, Ayurveda is everything about life. Our life begins from our date of birth and ends at death. The question of life is all about: How to have a healthy, joyful, and balanced lifestyle during our life span? Ayurvedic knowledge provides the answer.

“Ayurveda is the knowledge of a happy and unhappy life, a good and bad life, and that which contributes to those four aspects. “ —Charaka

Ayurveda is a way of living. It’s about being healthy from moment to moment. As you wake up in the morning, as you eat your meals, as you schedule a time for exercise and play, Ayurveda teaches you to consider what nourishes your mind, body, and spirit.

What you eat, what you watch on Netflix, how much time you spend exchanging the energy of love with others—everything you do, say, think, and feel has an impact on your body, mind, and energy system.

Each moment you make a choice. You can choose to do something that helps create balance in yourself or that may bring you out of balance.

Ayurveda gives you knowledge about yourself and your relationship to the external world so that you can make informed choices each moment, each meal, each day, and each season.
