Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old holistic healing system from India that emphasizes achieving body balance through diet, lifestyle, exercise, and cleansing, supplemented by herbal treatments. It posits that each individual has a unique mix of doshas (life forces or energies) that need to be balanced for good health. Ayurveda’s goals are promoting optimal health, preventing disease, and treating illness by addressing its root cause rather than symptoms.
