Ayurveda is ancient medicine from India. It is holistic, complex, multidimensional and is based on the understanding that health depends on the delicate balance between mind, body and spirit. The way we live our lives, the food we eat, the habits we yield to, our emotional responses all play a key role in our ability to maintain and restore balance. In Ayurveda, the human body is comprised of the basic elements of ether, air, fire, water and earth and these elements must maintain equilibrium within the body to maintain health. If balance is disturbed, then toxins accumulate and saturate the channels of the body, beginning the disease process.

Ayurveda looks at health through a very different lens. We have been trained to think that if we’re physically fit, we have health. But are we emotionally fit? Are we mentally fit? How much stress do we carry? Many of us are proficient at hiding our emotions, burying them deep inside, leaving them raw and unresolved. Unresolved emotions are mental toxins. Mental toxins lead to physical disease. Unravelling the emotional and physical imbalance is the beginning of the journey back to health.

Ayurveda is individualized medicine. Ayu means life and veda means the knowledge of. Thus, Ayurveda is the knowledge of life. It is knowledge of your body, your emotions, your mind, your life. Each of us is unique; we know that, we get that. Our road to health is also unique. The role of an Ayurvedic Practitioner is to educate, teach, to share knowledge about you through the lens of Ayurveda. Once the specifics of you are understood, then we provide the tools. Tools that purge the toxins, tools that re-light your digestive fire, tools that cleanse, reinvigorate, re-energize. Tools that restore balance and help you find your potential for self-healing. Ayurveda teaches us that the practices of self-healing are available to anyone and the processes of disease can be substantially reduced by integrating these practices into our daily lives.
