It is a very complex traditional medicine, so in this post we will tell you a little more about what it consists of and what its benefits are.

Ayurveda approaches health from a holistic, integral, personalized, spiritual and philosophical point of view. In other words, it works with both the body and the mind, unlike Western medicine.
Ayurveda identifies 5 traits depending on the five essential elements, everything in the universe is composed of different amounts of these five elements:
