AYURVEDA

Plants, which as receptacles of light were born three ages before the Gods, I honour your myriad colours and your seven hundred natures.

A hundred, oh Mothers, are your natures and thousand are your growths. May you of a hundred powers make whole what has been hurt.

- Hymn to the plants Rig Veda, 1500 BC

The linking of the Sanskrit words ayur and veda, life and knowledge, aptly describes the essence of this ancient Indian system of medicine. The foundations of Ayurveda lie in the meticulous observation skills of the ancients. They observed and recorded the relationship between themselves and their environment and in the millennia that followed a distinct clinical system was formulated. An Ayurvedic physician utilizes observation skills to not only diagnose patterns of imbalance but also to determine the constitution of the individual and hence is able to deduce inherent strengths, weaknesses and tendencies. An Ayurvedic physician is trained in the use of diet, cooking, yoga, breath-work, meditation and a vast pharmacopoeia to help the individual achieve balance. Ayurveda not only treats persons who are ill but brings to life the concepts of preventive health care and health promotion. The goal of Ayurveda is to help each person achieve harmony and balance.

At the core of Ayurveda is the understanding that every individual is a composition of consciousness and nature. From the time of conception, one is created with a unique combination of the Five Great Elements of Nature. The organization and percentage of these five elements within an individual's constitution are known as the doshas.

Vata The force symbolized by AIR
Pitta The force symbolized by FIRE
Kapha The force symbolized by WATER

The quality and the relative balance of these forces determine health and disease.When these forces act harmoniously, the functions of digestion, absorption and elimination, physically and mentally, create health.

Ayurvedic health practitioners can help you identify your dosha through various diagnostic methods. This knowledge serves as your very own road map for a return to your natural state of being. Awareness of the diet, herbs, oils and lifestyle best suited to your particular make-up leads to health and longevity. Using nature to heal our own natures generates vitality, beauty and radiance.
