                                                      Ayurvedic is the world oldest famous doctrine of life and health, and comes from the
                                                  advanced Vedic civilization of ancient India. The knowledge has been passed on orally for
                                                  thousands of years.
                                                      The word Ayurveda comes from the Sanskrit words Ayur (life) and Veda (knowledge)
                                                  and can be translated with “wisdom of life” or even “science of life” The Ayurvedic doctrine
                                                  is described as the “integrated combination of the empirical doctrine of nature and philos-
                                                  ophy” which focuses on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects which are
                                                  necessary to our health. These can be summarized as temperaments (energies) and are
                                                  the so-called Doshas:
                                                      Vata (wind, air, pneuma), Pitta (fire and water, chole), Kapha (Earth and water, phlegma).
