Ayurveda
When we look to the beauty of Nature, we find that five elements provide the foundation for the entire physical world. Ayurveda recognizes these elements - space, air, fire , water and earth - as the building blocks of all material existence.
Since human kind is a mini-replica of Nature, Ayurveda also observes the five elements within the human body. We nourish ourselves with foods from the Earth, and eventually, our body returns to the earthly matter from which it came. Water is our life-sustaining nectar, making more than 70 percent of our body. Fire provides the body with heat and radiant energy and exists within all metabolic and chemical actions. Air flows freely throughout the body, giving movement to biological functions and feeding every cell with oxygen. Space is ever-present, humbly residing in the background, providing the other elements with an opportunity to interact in this way.
Ayurveda is a science that teaches how to live in true balance with nature. That is why it is also called the science of life.
During our trip in India we will visit an Ayurvedic clinic where one can have a consultation with an ayurvedic doctor. We will also walk around the garden of the clinic and get introduced to Ayurvedic science as well as to some of the plants and herbs used for its practice.
