Ayurveda is considered by some to be the oldest healing science in the world. Ayurvedic medicine is not centered around symptom management or pharmaceutical treatments like traditional medicine. Instead, it is built upon three distinct foundational pillars that form every therapy, lifestyle modification, and herbal curation. In Ayurvedic medicine, everything is composed of five elements. To create health and well-being, Ayurvedic physicians and practitioners integrate various treatments that harmonize theĀ five body and mind elements.
