What Is Ayurveda? | How to Get Started

Ayurveda is what we live and breathe here at Banyan. This 5,000-year-old life science has become increasingly popular in the United States over the last few decades thanks to the rise of its sister science, yoga. But what IS Ayurveda? How can the average person learn about it? How can it support your health?

We sat down with Ayurvedic practitioner and Banyan Research Director Vrinda Devani to hear her thoughts on the topic of Ayurveda. In this video, Vrinda discusses the key aspects of Ayurveda, the doshas of vata, pitta, and kapha, and how this knowledge can change your life for the better.

I truly believe the most important aspect of Ayurveda is meditation and becoming in tune with your intuition. Amazing!

I’m so thankful this practice came across me as I was scrolling on Pinterest. I am also in the process of becoming a Holistic Health Coach so it’s like this is apart of the alignment process 🥺✨

Thanks to our ancestors that they preserved the knowledge of Ayurveda but few chapters from some texts are missing 😔. Just like Ayurveda there were many scientific texts in India but due to so much of foreign attacks and influence those scientific texts and knowledge is lost. Thank god at least we have health and medical related knowledge 🙏. There were many universities in ancient India like Nalanda Takshila where people from all over the world used to come to study science spirituality mathematics astronomy economics etc. Those ancient universities were destroyed by the invaders.

Throughout history, humans have been interacting with the dreamtime via sonar energy. Reality has always been aglow with pilgrims whose hearts are nurtured by energy. Who are we? Where on the great myth will we be guided?

Would Ayurveda help with tactical sensitivity? To be specific my skin randomly decides it doesn’t want to be touched by anything or certain materials and results in intense burning and itching.

Ayurveda didn't just come from India. Don't forget Nepal. Nepal witnessed so huge quantity of Mystical Ayurvedic Shidda Purushas. Not to mention, Labh and Kush (sons of Shri Ram and Mata Sita) were masters of Ayurveda, and DhanurVidya was born and grew up in Nepal only! The place where Labh and Kush were born is called Bashistha Ashram, and it is in Nepal. Therefore, the rarest of rarest herbs are found in Nepal. Nepal had always been a Master of Ayurveda.🙏
