About Ayurveda
Ayurveda is India’s most ancient and holistic system of health and wellness. Simply put, Ayurveda offers timeless wisdom to the sacred process of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It is the science and knowledge of life.
Ayurveda is one of the only medical sciences that focuses on the individual’s unique constitution (dosha) while searching for root causes of imbalances and disease. Nourishing and nurturing the mind, body and spirit through healthy diet, exercise, meditation and breath work is paramount to the well-being of the entire body.
The basic tenant of Ayurvedic asks
What is going into the body? (Food, thoughts, breath)
What is happening outside of the body? (daily activity, environment, season)
What is the dominate energy of the balanced body?
Where is the root cause of the Imbalance?
