Ayur - Life, Veda - Knowledge, so … “Knowledge of Life” is Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the science of life. An holistic therapy based on prevention, longevity and natural healing. After discovering your dosha, vata, pitta or kapha, from a thorough consultation, your therapist will then select a specific oil to your dosha to regain your ‘prakriti’ or natural balance.
