What is ayurveda?

Ayurveda originated in India over 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that translates to “knowledge of life”. It is a system of medicine based on the idea that disease is caused by an in-balance in a person’s consciousness. Just as someone has a particular finger print, everyone has a particular pattern of energy. Diagnosis and treatments are based on the 3 dosha’s, vata, pitta, and kapha.

Ayurveda counselors help to determine your dominant dosha and the life-styles and eating habits that will help you thrive.
