The term ayurveda derives from the Indian historical language, Sanskrit, and means "ayu" (duration of life) and "veda" (knowledge or truth). This term can be translated as "the science of life".
Ayurveda is a holistic concept, that embraces all the areas of the human being and his environment, and is therefore considered to be a life philosophy, rather than simply a medicine.
The ayurvedic treatments recommend us to follow a balanced diet, to practise meditation, yoga, massage and detoxification methods, with the aim of creating harmony between the body, mind and spirit.
