Ayurvedic medicine offers a feminine approach to life, it teaches us peace and how to live in harmony with nature, ourselves and others. A logical and progressive health system that supports the understanding of the different natures of individuals.
Founded in the Himalayan Mountains 7000 years ago, Ayurveda is now the third largest medical system in the world today. Ayruveda the science of life uses three unique body types of Air & Ether, Fire & Water, and Water & Earth to determine your individuality. These elemental combinations regulate physiological and psychological characteristics from our cellular processes. When your body is in natural balance it functions at its optimum, however when imbalances occur through daily stressors of life, diet and lifestyle the elemental influences become imbalanced and dis-ease occurs. With this knowledge you can make an intelligent decision about your health with an easy practical method of self-care.
Good digestion, absorption and elimination are needed for a strong digestive fire, to keep the body free of toxins and gain full nutritive value from food.
Conscious eating is a valued principal as herbal medicine and diet can be nullified if the taste of the mind is not balanced. Ayurvedic Medicine uses six tastes that determine the action of herbs and foods with each having their own unique quality of energy, digestive and post-digestive effect. Sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent are flavours of both our emotions and food. When we eat a balance of tastes, the mind is balanced, and when there is peace of mind life is balanced.
Ayurveda helps to give you a sense of direction, a process through paying attention to the body, mind and spirit. Essentially it is gives you the flexibility and gentleness to provide you with what your body needs by reducing factors causing imbalances while increasing aspects of diet and lifestyle to create balance.
