Ayurveda is a means of promoting well-being, with a focus on integrating mind, body, and spirit. The term Ayurveda originates from India and is derived from the Sanskrit words for “life” (ayur) and “science” (veda). The result is a holistic practice that dates back well over 3,000 years and is still going strong today. That being said, there has never been a better time to experience many of the herbs and ingredients featured in this ancient system.
