WHAT IS AYURVEDA? Ayurveda is a unique medical system originating in India. It is based on maintaining a balance between body and spirit. In Indian Sanskrit, it means the science of life and longevity. Although its history is over 5,000 years old, it is still practiced in many Western countries. According to Ayurveda, each of us is an individual combination of three types of energy known as doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Maintaining them in balance ensures a life of health and harmony. Each of us is a unique combination of these energies, but in most people one of them dominates. The type of energy determines character, temperament, body structure and type of beauty. Ayurveda allows us to recognize the right dosha for us and provides guidance on how to act in accordance with it through a proper diet, lifestyle and care. AYURVEDIC CARE AND COSMETICS Skin care in accordance with Ayurveda consists of first properly cleansing the skin of all impurities, exfoliating dead skin, and then properly moisturizing and nourishing the skin. Ayurvedic cosmetics are based on ancient recipes, and most cosmetics are based on natural oils and butters that are enriched with selected plant ingredients. However, before we start care with Ayurvedic cosmetics, we should start by determining which dosha dominates in us.
