Originating in India over 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda is a system of healing that restores harmony to one's body, mind, and spirit. Translated as the Wisdom of Life, Ayurveda provides us with the pathway towards living life to its fullest potential. Relevant especially in this current climate of stress and disease exposure, the Ayurvedic lifestyle is one that builds the strength and resilience to withstand difficult challenges.
