Ayurveda is ancient Indian healing system and life science. The word Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term "Ayu" meaning life and "Veda" meaning science, which means "Science of Life".
Ayurveda is a powerful ancient healing system that offers a holistic vision of health involving balance in and between body, mind and spirit. One of its most fundamental ideas is that each individual's constitution is unique and has a particular relationship to three fundamental and vital energies, the Doshas viz. Vatta / Pitta / Kapha which in turn is constituted of the Panchmahabhuttas viz. Ether / Air / Fire / Water / Earth.

Ayurveda looks at the way in which those energy types relate to diet, lifestyle and general health. Imbalance of the Doshas in an individual gives rise to diseases and balancing the Doshas and body, mind and soul will help you live a long, healthy and contented life.
