Ayurveda is based on humankind’s oldest medicinal traditions which date back approx. 3000 years to knowledge of Indian doctors in the heyday of Indian culture.
Ayurveda represents integrated knowledge of the origins and evolution of humankind and the universe, and aims to completely unravel the full potential of mind and body.
From an Ayurveda point of view, everything in the cosmos consists of five elements: Ether, air, fire, water and earth. These produce the so-called three Doshas. These three Doshas are the basic principles that govern all processes in our bodies. Ayurveda strives to harmonize these three Doshas.
Treatments using oil are key in Ayurveda. Oil massages with warm oil have an extraordinarily positive effect – waste products are released from tissue, tenseness relaxed, and the whole body harmonized.
