Welcome to the world of Ayurveda, a traditional Indian system for healthy living and gentle healing. Ayurveda, originating from the Indian subcontinent, combines the Sanskrit words "Ayu" (life) and "Veda" (knowledge) to mean "science of life" or "science of knowledge."

This science developed from proven practices and outcomes in our history. Indian sages observed nature's laws and established basic rules for living a content and happy life.

The Vedas are ancient texts containing knowledge about various treatments and theories, including Ayurveda. Ayurveda is becoming increasingly popular, as it emphasizes individual well-being and aims to teach people how to care for their body, mind, and soul throughout the year.

“Samadosha samagnish ca samadhatumalakriya Prasannatmentriyannah svastha iti abhidhiyate”

One is in perfect health when the three Doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha), the digestive fire (digestion, assimilation and metabolism) all the body tissues & components (Dhatus), the malas (urine, sweat and defecation) are in perfect order, so you will experience happiness with a contented mind, sense and spirit

Ayurveda is declaired to be eternal, because it has no beginning, because it deals with such things that are inherent in nature and because the nature of matter is eternal. For at no time was there a break either in the continuity of life or in the continuity of intelligence.
— Caraka Samhhita Sutrasthana 30.27

According to Ayurveda all matter is constituted of the five elements (panchamahabouta). Some parts of matter are animate and others are inanimate.
— Caraka Samhita Sutrasthana 26.10

The five Elements, Doshas & Seasons

Ayurveda core treatment is to identify the attributes of an imbalance or disorder and then implement treatment. It takes into consideration individual constitution, the elements and the role of the current season and their effect on the constitution.

 

ELEMENTS

The elements, which are integral parts of nature, include Ether (Space), Air, Fire, Earth, and Water. These elements are deeply connected to nature and material existence. Each element is intricately linked to specific tissues and organs within the body. Moreover, in the realm of the mind, these elements are associated with distinct personality types. Furthermore, in the field of medicine, the elements play a crucial role in determining the actions and properties of various medicinal treatments.


DOSHA’S

Ayurveda, acknowledges and embraces the individuality of each person, understanding that they possess a distinctive mind-body constitution shaped by the Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These Doshas serve as integral governing principles, intricately weaving through to impact and define the biological and psychological makeup of an individual.

Vata, Pitta and Kapha move in the whole body producing good or ill effects upon the entire system according to their normal or provoked states. Their normal state is prakrti (nature) and their abnormal state is vikrti (imbalance).

SEASON’S

In Ayurveda, we consider 6 seasons instead of the traditional 4, recognizing Early Winter, Late Winter, Spring, Summer, Rainy Season, and Autumn in Australia. Embracing these seasonal variations, we follow seasonal routines (Ritucharya) that guide us in making adjustments to nurture our well-being throughout the year. The term Ritu signifies season, and charya refers to routines. These seasonal practices enable us to adapt our diets, incorporating the six tastes, to balance Vata, Pitta, and Kapha in each season to safeguard the integrity of the Doshas and Dhatus, the six tissues. Furthermore, these routines extend to our lifestyle choices, ensuring the harmonious maintenance of our entire being, encompassing the body, mind, soul, and sense organs, within the ever-changing environmental and seasonal dynamics.
