This very ancient science of India has got its foundations in the holy scriptures of Hinduism and acts through an holistic idea of mind, body and spirit. Ayurveda, like yoga, reminds man that the ultimate end of life is the true freedom from the dependence on the outside world. Basing itself on the same ethical principles such as the non-violence and the respect for nature, it deals mainly with the physical and therapeutical aspect becoming integrated with yoga in the spiritual aspects.

The metaphysical vision of the body and the methodology for the health’s keeping is carried out in a practical and detailed study of human being through the formulation of a complete system of medicine, including all branches like surgery, geriatrics, gynaecology, paediatrics, science of rejuvenation…. whose techniques have been taken as examples and are still utilised today in the modern medical science. It is currently also proposed again among the “alternative” techniques of health’s keeping giving great prominence to its prevention’s ability through techniques of purification and elimination of toxins (panchakarma), analysis of the daily and seasonal routine, the use of herbal remedies made according to the ancient recipes of ayurveda, through the practice of the ayurvedic massage done with oils on the whole body and other techniques of manipulation and body treatment with oils, herbs and powders.

“He who has got balance among: dosha (factors forming of the body controlling the physiological activities of the body), agni (factors which are responsible of metabolism and digestion), dhatu (elements of tissues), mala (waste products or excretions), kriya (physical and mental activities), together with the happiness of soul, senses and mind, is considered a perfect healthy person”
