What Is
Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a traditional system of knowledge that developed in India over thousands of years. The Sanskrit term is commonly translated as “the science of life”. Ayurvedic traditions place emphasis on lifestyle, food, daily routine, herbs, bodywork, yoga and the relationship between physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
At Ananta Ayurveda, Ayurveda is presented as a traditional complementary wellbeing approach. It is not presented as a replacement for evidence-based medical diagnosis or treatment.
Your Constitution and
Inner Balance
Traditional Ayurveda places importance on maintaining balance through attention to lifestyle, food choices, rest, thought patterns and daily routines. It describes each person as having an individual constitution and uses this framework to guide traditional wellbeing practices.
These concepts are part of Ayurvedic philosophy and should not be used to make a medical diagnosis.
Vata, Pitta
and Kapha
Ayurveda traditionally describes three doshas — Vata, Pitta and Kapha — as functional principles used to understand differences in constitution and patterns of balance.
In Ayurvedic philosophy, Vata is associated with movement, Pitta with transformation and Kapha with structure and stability. These ideas form part of the traditional Ayurvedic model and are not equivalent to clinically established biological diagnoses.
Lifestyle and
Wellbeing
Clients may use Ayurvedic concepts to reflect on routines, food habits, rest, movement and self-care.
Where a person has symptoms, a diagnosed illness or concerns about physical or mental health, they should also seek advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
