Ayurvedic treatment, rooted in the ancient Indian system of medicine known as Ayurveda, emphasizes the balance of body, mind, and spirit to achieve holistic health. Originating over 3,000 years ago, Ayurveda integrates natural therapies, dietary guidelines, and lifestyle practices tailored to individual constitutions, or doshas. The three primary doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—represent different combinations of the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether) and govern physiological and psychological functions in the body. Ayurvedic practitioners believe that an imbalance in these doshas leads to illness, and treatment aims to restore harmony.
