Ayurveda, or the Science of Proper Life, is the traditional system of Indian Vedic medicine, as well as ancient philosophy.
This direction in medicine is recognized throughout the world. It has 4000 years of experience.
The word “ayurveda” means “the science of life.” Ayurvedic treatment not only prevents and treats diseases, but also daily monitors the behavior and psychological state of a particular person. Ayurveda is not limited to the treatment of individual parts of the body, but mainly influences the entire organism.
According to ayurveda, a person is healthy when all three life forces – doshas – are in balance:
• Vata (ether and air) – the principle of the impulse (responsible for the nervous system),
• Pitta (fire and water) – the functioning of the venous system and metabolism,
• Kapha (water and earth) – the principle of body fluid.
The causes of all diseases in the human body, Ayurveda specialists are looking, first of all, in the violation of the balance of elements in the body, that is, the lack of sustainability of the body. Having determined the weakened dosha, the doctor learns the cause and other adversities.
To know the state of doshas is the same as to understand what your immunity is, whether your body is able to resist infections. The doctor will tell you what needs to be done to strengthen the protective mechanisms of your body.
A certain ratio of doshas at birth determines the Prakriti of a person – the predisposition to diseases. Having learned your Prakriti, you will receive information about the weak and strong sides of your organism, which will help you to avert diseases by preventive procedures.
All raw materials, which are used in the manufacture of medicines, consist of natural components. Leaves of medicinal herbs are used in the manufacture of herbal baths and the roots are rubbed into a healing powder for aromatherapy. The seeds and fruits are squeezed for the oils extraction, necessary for massage. Ayurvedic medicinal preparations are produced in various forms: pills, oils for massage, pastes, drops, inhalers, herbal infusions, decoctions.The most effective and unique treatment is “Pancha Karma”: a complex treatment that includes all forms of Ayurveda, such as massage, herbal saunas (aromatherapy), meditation and other types of psychotherapy, a variety of diets, decoctions and tablets (oral therapy). “Pancha Karma” not only treats diseases, but also prevents their development, as it enhances the immunity of the human body. Modern Ayurveda includes all the secrets of traditional medicine, time-tested and improved with modern technology.

Even a small wellness course gives positive results: it improves health, relieves stress, fatigue and discomfort, increases the resistance of the body to diseases. However, for serious illnesses, a long course of treatment is required, under the supervision of specialists.
