Ayurveda in India

Ayurveda – Ancient Indian Wellness Science

Ayurveda is India’s ancient holistic wellness system, focusing on balance between the body, mind and spirit. The word comes from Ayus (life) and Veda (knowledge), meaning “knowledge of life.”

Ayurvedic Principles

Ayurveda is based on the five elements and three energies, known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Maintaining balance among these Doshas is considered essential for overall well-being.

India’s rich tradition of herbs, natural therapies and personalised wellness practices makes it a popular destination for Ayurveda, wellness and rejuvenation experiences.
