So what is Ayurveda?
A 5000-year-old preventative and integrative healing system of medicine focusing on the mind-body connection. Ayurveda, meaning “science or knowledge of life”, views health as much more than the absence of disease. From an Ayurvedic perspective, health includes feeling content, joyous, bright and tranquil. Ayurveda aims to minimize today’s stressors, such as anxiety, grief, depression, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, digestive and sleep issues, by moving a person into a natural state of balance.
Health is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each person has a unique constitution or mind-body type they are born with, according to Ayurveda, known as doshas. Any movement away from that constitution creates health imbalances. If such imbalances are not addressed, then disease sets in.
When an Ayurvedic specialist looks at the tongue and pulse, these imbalances can be determined and corrected through specific herbs, essential oils, foods, gemstones, and lifestyle.
As health is not a static state, Ayurveda can address the many changes and influences both inside and outside that affect our lives.
The first step on the Ayurvedic road to wellness is strengthening one’s digestive power.
Digestion, as we know today, has a direct effect on our immune health, but Ayurveda has also understood that our digestive health also affects our mind, mood, and way of thinking. At an Ayurvedic consultation, your practitioner will look at many aspects of your life, including digestive issues.
You may be asking yourself, “Do I need more to do in my daily life?”
Throughout physiological and psychological stages, Ayurveda can provide nurturing, earth-based, sustainable gems that you can utilize on your health journey, allowing you to feel in alignment with your own unique nature and nature that surrounds you.
