Ayurveda is a holistic system of healingwhich was developed among the wise sages of ancient

India around 3,500 years ago.It emphasizes establishing and maintaining a balance of the life energies

within us, rather than focusing on individual symptoms.

Ayurveda recognizes the uniqueconstitutional differences of all individuals and therefore

recommends different courses of therapy for different types of people.While two people may appear to have the same outward symptoms,

their energetic constitutions may be very different andtherefore call for very different remedies.

based on Ayurvedic techniques.By encouraging health from within, our holistic and all natural

treatments rebalance and rejuvenate the body and spirit.

Ayurveda or the ancient science of healthy living, views each individual as a uniquecombination of elements and energy levels called Doshas. External factors such as stress,

improper diet, lifestlye, allergies, environment and weather can cause one’s Doshasto become imbalanced, resulting in a variety of health problems. Find out aboutyour unique body type or “Dosha” in our preliminary “Know Yourself “ session.
