In Ayurveda, which means, “the science of life,” health is based on a harmonious relationship between three principles that govern psychological and physiological responses and pathological changes called “doshas.” When these doshas are out of balance, it is said, disease occurs. By applying simple Ayurveda techniques, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual states can be restored.
