WHAT IS AYURVEDA?
Our most frequently asked question!
Ayurveda, a Sanskrit word meaning the “Science of Life”, is the native healing system of ancient India. Its practice dates back more than 5,000 years, and it is believed to be the oldest known healing system in the world.
While Ayurveda is classified as an alternative medical system, its teachings cover much more than treatment of disease. It is a comprehensive design for living that is rooted in preventative health, peaceful and sustainable living, and honoring our interconnectedness to nature and the world around us.
Ayurveda is often referred to as the “Mother of All Healing” and the “Science of Self-Healing”, both of which lend credence to its significance in the history of world medicine. Despite being 5,000 years old, the practice remains relatively unchanged.
As an adjunct to modern medicine, Ayurveda provides another lens through which we can look at health. It views body, mind, spirit and emotions as an interconnected whole. For those who have experienced the sometimes fragmented approach of modern medicine, it offers a way of connecting the dots and bringing us back to center.
"Ayurveda is a comprehensive design for living that is rooted in preventative health, peaceful and sustainable living, and honoring our interconnectedness to nature and the world around us."
Molly Culleton, Doctor of Ayurveda
