Ayurveda is a system of medicine that is over 5,000 year old, and originated in the Indian sub-continent. As with all wisdom traditions, that originated in India, Ayurveda was originally an oral tradition, so our understanding of its origins are quite probably thousands of years after its true beginnings. It has been said that Ayurveda was transmitted to its seers in deep states of meditation.
Although there are many treatise and books which make up the "official" syllabi of Ayurvedic medicine in India today, a true "vaidya" is recognized not just by their formal certification, but also by their level of personal experience, svadhyaya (self-study, also study of the "Self," and transmission received in the Guru-shisya tradition.
After having lost its place in the Indian sub-continent, with colonization and perpetuation of western medicine, Ayurveda, in the last 50 or so years has begun to regain its rightful place as a precise, scientific and holistic method of healing, not only in India, but around the world.
We are privileged to share our understanding of this timeless tradition with you. Bhairavi has studied Ayurveda for the past two decades, under the guidance of many vaidyas, traditional healers, and Gurus. To this extent, we have a network of highly qualified experts in this field, for any situations that may need treatments beyond the scope of our practice.
