Ayurveda: Traditional Indian Medicine
Ayurveda, the ‘science of life’ or longevity, is the holistic science of medicine from India that is over 5000 years old. The healing method through Ayurveda includes knowledge of a variety of medicinal herbs, foods, aromas, lifestyles, yoga, and a fascinating selection of therapies that help lead a balanced life. Therefore, Ayurdeepam offers you three different courses in which we share our insights and our expertise on the Ayurvedic lifestyle, Ayurvedic nutrition, and Ayurvedic therapies in recognized modules.
Ayurveda, the timeless Indian art of healing, originates from Vedic culture and has been practiced for over five thousand years. The ancient texts of Ayurveda, particularly the Charaka Samhita and the Sushruta Samhita, are the pillars of this holistic medical system. In our modern world, Ayurveda is gaining increased recognition as it advocates an integrative approach to health promotion and disease prevention.
The ancient life science of Ayurveda is increasingly becoming the focus of global interest. Its popularity is rising daily – worldwide. Over 600 Ayurveda centers in Great Britain, about 500 physicians in Germany who incorporate Ayurveda into their medical practice, and a steady presence of Ayurveda practitioners in the metropolises of the USA attest to this. The growing number of tourists flocking to India – especially to Kerala – for Ayurveda tourism reflects the growing fascination with Ayurveda. These developments underscore the global resonance that Ayurveda finds today.
Balance is the Key
The pillars that support our body are diet, exercise and sleep. Maintaining these pillars in a state of Hitham and Mitham ensures our health. Hitham refers to the qualitative aspect, meaning practices that promote health, such as healthy food, exercise and sleep. Mitham refers to the quantitative aspect, meaning neither too much nor too little, but a sufficient amount. The idea is that even though diet, exercise and sleep are essential for a healthy life, it doesn’t mean we should eat all the time, exercise excessively, or sleep constantly. Balance is key.
Ayurveda for healthy mind and healthy soul
Ayurveda is an ancient science of life that emphasizes maintaining and promoting health, preventing diseases through various dietary and lifestyle regimens, and treating diseases through therapeutic measures. This is encapsulated in the principles of “Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam” (preserving the health of healthy persons) and “Aturashya Vikar Prasamanam” (curing the diseases of the diseased).
Ayurveda advocates for Dincharya (daily routines), Ritucharya (seasonal activities), dietary guidelines, and Sadvritta (code of conduct for mental health) to maintain and promote health and prevent ailments. It also includes Panchakarma(purification therapy) and various medications for treating diseases, as well as Rasayanas(rejuvenatives) to enhance health and quality of life. Common spices and herbs are utilised in treatments, Rasayanas are used to promote longevity, and Panchakarma procedures remove toxins from the body.

As a health practitioner, one is always in constant search of healing methods to provide relief to patients. It’s evident that no two patients are alike, as we deal with human beings, not machines. Therefore, individualized and holistic treatment is essential and timely.
Ayurveda has long emphasized the importance of individualized treatments. It approaches patients and their ailments holistically, rather than merely managing symptoms. Ayurvedic treatment comprises five basic pillars: a healthy Ayurvedic diet, internal herbal remedies, external physical therapies, systemic purification treatments, and yoga, pranayama, and meditation. According to Ayurveda, health is not just the absence of symptoms or disease but a perfect balance of a healthy body, mind, soul, and social well-being.
A health practitioner or therapist who can understand the exact needs of the patient and deliver appropriate care is invaluable. This capability can be achieved through learning Ayurveda.
In the Ayur-Vidya course, we offer a detailed and in-depth study of Ayurvedic principles, disease management, and therapies. Ayur-Vidya is a perfect blend of theory and practicals, tailored to the needs of health practitioners and therapists.

Over the years, the science of nutrition has evolved remarkably. People are constantly in search of the perfect diet to maintain health and youthfulness. As the famous saying goes, “we are what we eat,” emphasizing that our dietary habits are crucial to our physical and mental well-being. In Ayurveda, food is considered therapy. Factors such as what we eat, how we eat, how we cook, and where we eat all contribute to optimal health.
At the Ayur-Essen program, we guide you towards a new dietary approach based on Ayurvedic principles. Our program opens the doors to a kitchen where you can learn the basics of Ayurvedic cooking and the art of using traditional Indian spices, allowing you to create your own ideal diet.
In this fast-paced world, finding time to prioritize our health can be challenging. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Several factors significantly impact our physical and mental well-being: our dietary choices, behavioral patterns, daily routines, and the amount of rest we allow ourselves. Ayurvedic knowledge encompasses all these aspects, emphasizing a holistic approach to leading a healthy life. A sound body and mind contribute to productivity, contentment, and happiness.
At Ayurwissen weekend seminars, we delve into the fundamental principles of Ayurvedic science, dietary recommendations, healthy daily and seasonal routines, as well as yoga and pranayama.
