About Ayurveda

ayurvedic foods

Ayurveda is a sanskrit word which means the science of life. It is the 5000 year-old natural healing system of India, and the sister science of Yoga. Ayurveda offers a prevention oriented holistic approach to health. It is recognized by the World Health Organization as a safe and effective traditional healthcare system.

According to Ayurveda, optimal health is a state in which body, mind, spirit and the senses are in perfect balance, while disease is a symptom of an underlying imbalance. Ayurveda views each person as a unique combination of three different functional principles of energies which govern all our physical, physiological and psychological processes. These energies are known as VATA, PITTA and KAPHA.

Optimal health is the result of a perfect balance between Vata, Pitta and Kapha. However they can be pushed out of balance by such factors as environment, trauma, lifestyle, diet, stress and other causes. Hence the goal of Ayurvedic treatment is to help the individual re-establish harmony within themselves and with their environment so that the body and mind can heal themselves. As everyone is composed of a unique combination of vata, pitta and kapha with different imbalances, each individual's path towards re-establishing balance and optimal health will be unique.
