What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a 5,000 year old system of medicine originating in India. Ayurveda teaches us how to live in harmony with our unique combination of body and mind and the world.
Through Ayurveda, we can restore balance in the body, mind and spirit by using a system of opposites. Heavy balances light. Cold balances hot. When we learn the qualities that make up our bodies, our minds and our environments, we learn how to make small adjustments to our diet and lifestyle to restore balance. These preventative measures ultimately will give us radiance, clarity and peace of mind.
Preventative Medicine: Uprooting Disease
Ayurveda is based around the concepts of the three doshas - vata, pitta and kapha. A dosha is a biological force in the body, sometimes called a fault or flaw. Too much of a given dosha will cause an imbalance in the body, which is thought to start in the digestive system. If not pacified or purified, the excess dosha will relocate and manifest in other bodily systems. Preventative medicine treats the mind and digestive system, as Ayurveda considers these to be the roots of disease. By uprooting the causes of disease, the intention is to heal the body, mind and spirit from the deepest level and prevent future imbalances, and possibly reverse existing disease.
