The Philosophy of Ayurveda

The Concept of Man & the World. Identity & Environment.

As the oldest medical sciences passed down, Ayurveda shows the harmonious connection between body, mind and soul. "Ayuh," life, and "Veda", knowledge, is the literal translation of the concept. Ayurveda the knowledge from life, was originally handed down by Buddhist monks and today is successfully practised all over the world.

To integrate Ayurveda into a modern way of life means putting you, the person, back in the centre of attention at the Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof.

In Ayurveda there is no separation between the intellectual, spiritual and tangible world. All forms of life follow the same laws, which manifest themselves in 5 elements (Mahabhutas). In the human body these 5 elements work within three biological energies (Doshas), which determines your body type (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). The goal of Ayurveda is to balance the distribution of the energy of the three Doshas and therewith achieve an inner balance, which establishes the basis for lasting health and intellectual development.

To achieve this balance, take part in Ayurveda medical, physiological and mental methods of treatment. We would be happy to inform you about how you can integrate Ayurveda into your life.
