The difference between Ayurveda and European Ayurveda®

Elisabeth Naschberger-Mauracher01.04.2025

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian healing system. Literally translated, the Sanskrit word means 'The Science of Life'. The holistic approach of Ayurveda aims to maintain the health of a healthy person and to cure the illness of a sick person. Body, mind, and soul are considered a unit and treated holistically. The foundation of this knowledge lies in ancient scriptures, primarily Charaka Samhita, which have been taught for centuries and help us understand how to lead a healthy and happy life in harmony with our environment.
