AYURVEDA is comprised of two words. Ayurmeans Life, and Veda means Knowledge. Thus, Ayurveda deals with how to live a healthy, balanced life. It is a traditional, holistic system of health science from India, which has been practiced for over 5,000 years. Ayurveda seeks to restore the natural balance and state of health to mind, body & soul by cultivating awareness of our physical, mental and spiritual characteristics (Gunas) then applies opposing characteristics (Gunas) through yoga, a wholesome diet, and various therapies.
Through its body-mind-soul approach, Ayurveda has been found to significantly improve several chronic health conditions.
Ayurveda focuses on living in tune with nature. Its principles are universal. By connecting mind, body and soul, Ayurveda strives to improve harmony and happiness in an individual. Ayurveda considers every individual to be unique because of their unique mind-body-soul constitution (Prakriti).
Ayurvedic medicine is not a "One size fits all" approach to healing. Everyone is different, and at Essence of Self your unique expression in physical form is honored.
