Ayurveda

More balance, clarity and vitality in your life

Ayurveda means the science of long life, and is both a medicine* and comprehensive health system and a way of life for physical and spiritual well-being.

Ayurveda ties in with current medical developments and offers not only solutions but also many tools and inspiration for a meaningful and enjoyable life.

* Ayurveda was established in 1977 by the WHO (World Health Organization) officially recognized as a mode of medicine, noting that it often provides solutions where Western medicine stops.

* The 8 clinical specialties within Ayurveda: internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, psychology and psychiatry, throat, nose, ear and eye medicine, toxicology, rejuvenation and vitality, and fertility and reproduction.

Balance

Harmony between body, mind and energy balance

Ayurveda is a medicine in which prevention is first and foremost, and nutrition and lifestyle play a major role. However, if someone becomes ill, Ayurveda has a range of treatments and protocols for treatment or support.

Ayurveda looks beyond averages: very specifically at the individual. Health, well-being and the choice of treatment are approached from the personal situation and the body constitution of the individual, in order to use a method appropriate for that person.

The Land of Now focuses on strengthening individual resilience and self-regulation.
Our goal is to enable you to live life from your own strength as healthily as possible, or to support you when you are ill. Both physically and mentally.

Being in full health
in life

Both physically and mentally

‘The utility of Ayurveda is to maintain the health of a healthy individual and heal the disease of the sick.’

~ Charaka Sutrasthana – ch.30, v.26
