Welcome to the PhytoVeda Website;

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda, which literally means the science of life, is the natural healing system throughout India.  The great Vedic sages who also developed the systems of meditation, mantra, yoga and astrology established it.  The purpose of Ayurveda is to tell us how our lives can be influenced, extended and controlled without interference from sickness and old age.  Ayurveda asserts that all illness ultimately arises from the mind, and freedom from disease depends on balancing our awareness, and then extending that awareness to the body.  But Ayurveda does not merely deal with medical science, but also with the social, ethical and spiritual side of humanity.  Everything you eat, say, see, feel and think affects your overall state of balance. And by following specific body-type diets dictated by your constitution called doshas, you can eliminate imbalances and prevent disease.

Today Ayurveda is making its profound mark on the western world as a global and planetary medicine, which re-validates traditional medicines of native people throughout the world.  Ayurveda has much in common with traditional Chinese medicine as well as, the Ecclectic medicine practiced in Europe.  Here at PhytoVeda, we offer the integration of these great systems by formulating the medicines in their traditional way for maximum healing effect.  PhytoVeda offers an array of PhytoVeda herbal remedies for specific conditions as well as overall health.  We try to get organic herbs whenever possible and we also grow many of them ourselves.  PhytoVeda  encompasses the very best in Ayurvedic herbs and healing therapies, so please be sure to visit our products page.
