Ayurveda Consultation

 

 

 

 

 

 

An Ayurvedic consultation is utilized to assist in the your overall health and wellness through diet, daily routines, cleansing as well as herbal remedies. 

Information is gathered from a pulse reading taken at your wrist. Also, an examination of your facial features, hair, and nails gives a strong indication of how your organs are functioning. We will also incorporate any additional information you provide through a questionnaire. We will address your current state of diet, digestion and elimination. Once we complete your body analysis I will educate you on which foods, spices,  herbs, exercise routines , Ayurvedic treatments, cleanses and any addtional remedies that would be best for your own unique constitution.

These remedies can be then applied to your life long term and you will be empowered to be your own advocate in leading a healthy life.

What is Ayurveda

ĀyurVeda is a natural system of medicine, and it originated in India (specifically the Himalaya region) more than 5000 thousand years ago. 

The term ĀyurVeda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayu (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Thus, ĀyurVeda translates to science of life. 

 

How is Ayurveda different

ĀyurVeda works differently than western allopathic medicine in that we look to address the underlying cause of the imbalance.

ĀyurVeda emphasizes prevention and maintenance of one’s health through balance of lifestyle, routines,  actions and thoughts, diet, herbs and self-care techniques.

ĀyurVeda is a holistic system of health with many different modalities that help restore balance in the physiology.

It provides an integrative approach to address health issues through the following:

• Prevention & Detection of Underlying Causes
