What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda – the ‘knowledge of life’ – is a traditional Indian art of healing that is over 5,000 years old and helps to keep body, mind and soul in balance. As a holistic method, it is based on a complete natural system that depends on the diagnosis of the three doshas (vital energies) – Vata, Pitta and Kapha – in order to achieve the right balance.

The central principle of Ayurveda
Every person is unique: they have their own individual constitution with a genetic predisposition to certain diseases and their own spiritual make-up. Ayurveda treatments balance the three energies, they reduce Kapha and calm Vata and Pitta.

Tulsi, the “holy basil”, is used as a balancing elixir of life for this purpose – and gives its name to our Ayurveda center.

An imbalance manifests itself in various symptoms of illness on a physical and/or mental-spiritual level. Ayurveda is also preventative and offers a variety of treatments for rejuvenation, cleansing and relaxation.

After a pulse diagnosis and consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner, the treatments are individually tailored to the guest.

They teach Ayurveda authentically, the original Ayurveda from Kerala. It reminded me a lot of my training in India and I was able to take away a lot for my own practice.

Tulsi Ayurveda provides very special moments of appreciation, relaxation and mindfulness – a harmonious unity with the spiritual ambience of the monastery.

It’s amazing how much you find yourself here and come to rest. I was incredibly impressed by the combination of regional Carinthian cuisine with Ayurveda cuisine – a culinary delight!

Gudrun LackingerClinical pharmacist

The combination of the cathedral and the Ayurveda centre is very exciting and a huge boost for the Gurktal. In addition to the treatment, you also learn a lot about our local herbs.
