Extensive Yoga, Ayurveda, and Meditation Retreat India
Ayurveda is an ancient yet timeless Indian system of medicine. The word Ayurveda literally means "knowledge of life". The aim of Ayurveda is to maintain the health of a healthy person and cure illness. This science is based on the principles that the universe is made up of five elements: air, fire, water, earth, and space. These elements are represented in humans by three doshas or energies: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Your health and wellbeing depend on getting the right balance of the tridosha (three doshas).
