You may not have heard of Ayurveda before, but it’s one of the oldest medical systems in the world, with teachings built upon a vast body of information over thousands of years. That’s pretty hard to ignore if you think about it. It’s known as the science of life and is focused around bringing harmony and balance back to the body. Ayurveda is a beautiful, individualised approach to wellness and believes everyone has a unique body and is born with a dosha balance. The goal of Ayurveda is to maintain or restore that unique balance by applying opposites. This is a concept most of us will already be familiar with, for example if you want to counterbalance the feeling of heaviness, you create more activity for the body and move it.
