Ayurveda

Ayurveda, literally translated as “the science of life,” is the traditional healing system of India. For over 5,000 years, this timeless wisdom has been practiced by millions of people to support the body, mind, and spirit in returning to a state of optimal health.

Today, more and more people are discovering how these ancient principles can be practically and powerfully applied to modern life. Ayurveda not only promotes physical healing but also invites a deeper sense of inner peace and contentment.

Health, according to Ayurveda, arises when we live in harmony with our true nature — the essence of who we really are. It guides us in discovering that nature and making choices that restore balance and vitality.

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to well-being. It addresses health on all levels — physical, emotional, and spiritual — and draws from a wide range of therapies including diet, herbs, color, aroma, sound, lifestyle, panchakarma, meditation, and yoga.

The Path of Healing

“The path of healing through Ayurveda is a path of personal responsibility. Each person is empowered with the ability to make choices. Those choices will either bring health and peace of mind or suffering and disease. Most people make their choices about how to live based on a lack of knowledge. Taking cues from friends, family and the media, choices are made. If these choices have led you to optimal health and inner peace, then you have been blessed. But if not, Ayurveda outlines a clear road map for the journey and provides you with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed.” ~ Healing Your Life
