What is Ayurveda? It goes back 5.000 years in written script but the origins of its teachings are said to be over 40,000 years old. Ayurveda has specified ways in which aromatics, diets, herbs, yoga and even cosmetics could help to sustain mental equilibrium. The Indian science of Ayurveda is based on inherited genetic constitution and molecular biology, treating different types of body / skins based on the 5 elements: air, water, fire, ether (space) and earth. It’s important to understand where the word ayurvedic massage comes from. “Ayu” means life and “Veda” means science. It is the science of life.
