What is Ayurvedic Medicine ?

Ayurvedic Medicine, or Ayurveda, is a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that originated in India. The word Ayurveda means “science of life” (Ayur = life, Veda = knowledge). It is one of the world’s oldest and most comprehensive systems of health and healing, emphasising the balance between body, mind, and spirit.

Ayurvedic Medicine is Ancient Wisdom for Modern Wellness – Eumundi Medicine Man.

The Core Philosophy of Ayurveda

Ayurveda teaches that health is not merely the absence of disease, but a state of dynamic balance within our internal systems and with nature around us. Each person is considered unique, and treatments are tailored based on individual constitution, called doshas.


The Three Doshas: Vata, Pitta & Kapha

According to Ayurveda, the universe—including our bodies—is composed of five elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth.

These combine into three doshas:
Vata (Air + Ether): Governs movement, creativity, nervous system
Pitta (Fire + Water): Governs digestion, metabolism, and transformation
Kapha (Earth + Water): Governs structure, immunity, and stability

Everyone has all three doshas, but in unique proportions. When these are in balance, we thrive. When they are out of balance, we experience illness.
