What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a profound art and science of well being.
.
It is traditional medicine based on ancient wisdom codified in the Vedic texts of India – Ayurvedic healthcare is a system designed to reverse disease patterns, support holistic healing and tissue regeneration, uplift the mind resulting in improved mental states, vitality, and potent energy.
With Ayurveda we empower you to make health care decisions based on your specific and individual prakruti or constitution, to harness and align the power of the five great fundamental and indivisible elements:
Fire is known as agni in Ayurveda. The fire principle is responsible for all metabolic processes in the body, as well as the processing and cognition of sense perception.
Your body is made up of nearly 70% water. Known as jala or ap, the water element is responsible for flow and absorption of nutrients to every tissue in the body. Water keeps the joints, connective tissues, and skin lubricated, smooth and supple.
The earth element, or prtvi, is responsible for form, stability, and strength throughout the body. Ayurveda recognizes the aspect of Matter, or the Mother principle, and Her contribution to our wellness and health.
Vayu, the element of air and wind, is responsible for all mobility and motion throughout the body. Blood flow, nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and the wavelike motions of the stomach and intestines required for healthy digestion and proper elimination are all governed by the health of vayu.
The element of space is known as akasha. It is the fundamental fabric out of which the manifest universe is woven. Every organ and every molecule in the body needs its proper space. Spaciousness in the mind allows for expansive and creative thought processes, and a willingness to be curious and open-minded.
What health conditions can I address with Ayurveda?
