Ayurveda, which actually means "science of life," is a sophisticated holistic health system that aims to achieve a balance between the mind, body, and awareness. Ayurveda is based on the principle that all things, including our bodies and minds, are influenced by underlying energies. Our health and wellbeing are influenced by the relationships between the five elements of air, water, fire, earth, and ether in our bodies. Ayurveda considers healthy dietary habits based on your individual body constitution, meditation, and its sister science, yoga, to be key cornerstones. When a new being is conceived, according to Ayurveda, three different sorts of body constitutions or doshas might be created and this is what makes us unique to each other.
