“What is Ayurveda?” The easy answer is that it is the traditional science of Ayurvedic medicine is designed to bring the body back into balance so it can heal itself, which in itself is amazing, but underneath all of that, Ayurvedic medicine is so much more. Ayurveda is a Vedic science which, like yoga, has only one purpose: to expose the illusion and neediness of the mind and become free.
