Accessing the healing power of Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning “Science of Life.” Ayurvedic Medicine is the traditional 5,000 year-old healing system of India. The focus of this medicine is to improve the lifestyle and dietary choices that cause disease, rather than symptoms resulting from disease. Ayurveda defines a body in optimal health as having a proper balance between Mind, Body, and Spirit as well as harmony with the elements (Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Ether).
The Ayurvedic doshas (constitutions) classify people into 3 categories– Vata, Pitta, Kapha
Vata is Space and Air
Pitta is Fire and Water
Kapha is Earth and Water
We determine a person’s main dosha and sub-dosha that they are born with. The goal with any imbalance they are experiencing is to bring them back to their constitution from birth.
Common Imbalance Symptoms:
Vata- Emaciation, Anxiety, Anemia, Constipation
Pitta- Acne, Hyperacidity, Jaundice, Fever, Indigestion, Gout
Kapha- Obesity, Cough, Depression, Tumors/Growths
Ayurveda can be used to treat a variety of conditions including but not limited to:
- Skin disorders
- Digestive issues
- Musculoskeletal conditions
- Obesity
- Anorexia
- Pain
- Mental imbalances
- Reproductive issues
- Inflammatory conditions
What to expect at an Initial Ayurvedic Consultation:
An initial consultation (1 hour 30 minutes) begins with a complete wellness evaluation utilizing Ayurvedic diagnostic tools. The session will include dietary and lifestyle guidance. Following the session you will be given an individualized treatment protocol which includes an herbal plan, dietary recommendations and guidelines, food lists and lifestyle or yoga advice. Follow up consultations are a necessary and highly recommended component in the continuation of your Ayurvedic wellness journey. Changes to your protocol may be made at each follow up visits to enhance your journey towards healing.
What to expect at a Follow Up Ayurvedic Consultation:
Follow-ups (45 minutes) are recommended every 4-6 weeks, and eventually will become as needed as your health improves. During this session we will assess your progress, address any new concerns, and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan and wellness goals.
