Ayurvedic Health Consultation


Ayurveda means "the science of life" and is about being in harmony with the rhythms of nature. This 5,000-year-old scientific system correlated its findings through the comparison of the human being and the natural world. Body type and pulse diagnoses are used to identify imbalances in the body or to measure what the body is working to correct. We study daily habits and rhythms and how they connect to the natural rhythms of nature. We then evaluate and prescribe gentle changes that will help to alleviate understanding problems. Ayurvedic medicine (“Ayurveda” for short) is one of the world's oldest holistic (“whole-body”) healing systems.
