Ayurvedic Medicine

Ayurvedic medicine originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is known as the world’s oldest healing science.  Consisting of two Sanskrit words, ayush – meaning life or longevity and veda meaning deep knowledge or wisdom, Ayurveda means “life wisdom” or the “knowledge of longevity”.  Ayurvedic healing has thrived over time, and provided the foundation for many modern systems of medicine.

The Ayurvedic system is a life affirming and practical approach that aligns you with your own natural state of balance. Its holistic diet, herbal, and lifestyle strategies are rooted in the natural rhythms of your body and environment. Recognized by the World Health Organization as an effective, traditional health science, Ayurveda is the handbook to your body that you should have received as a child.

One of the elegant features of Ayurvedic medicine is that with some basic knowledge, you can learn person-specific diet, herbal and lifestyle remedies to become more resilient, vibrant and attuned with the rhythms and qualities of your own body.

Tridosha – 3 Body Types

Ayurveda has categorized three body types or constitutions. Your individualized combination of these three Ayurvedic constitutions determines your likely pitfalls and most optimal means to healing. The types (or doshas) are Vata, Pitta and Kapha.  Empowered with the knowledge of Ayurvedic medicine, you can embark on a holistic approach to health through personalized diet, lifestyle and herbs.
