Ayurveda

As a Chopra Certified Perfect Health Ayurvedic Instructor.. I've gained the knowledge needed to teach others.. but have been personally living an Ayurvedic lifestyle for many years. My Ayurvedic journey all began when I had developed a severe digestive disorder. The result of many doctor visits and clinical tests was a vague diagnosis of IBS. Treatment included prescribed meds and a conventional fiber enriched diet.. in which my condition had worsened rather than improve. Western medicine had failed to provide a treatment that was best suited for me as an individual. Therefore, I began exploring more holistic alternatives. It was then that I was introduced to Ayurveda.

Ayurveda "The Science of Life" is a 5000 year old healing system that originated in ancient India and is a traditional system of medicine. Focus is placed more on prevention and the underlying causes of illness and disease. Optimal health is achieved by maintaining balance throughout the mind/body/spirit.. according to your mind/body type. In Vedic philosophy, we call this your Dosha.. or Constitution which is determined at birth.

There are three Doshas.. Vata, Pitta and Kapha.. each created differently and each having distinct characteristics and needs. Ayurveda takes into consideration that NO two people are alike.. and that nutritional modifications and lifestyle choices based on our individual needs can make a fundamental difference in our health and wellbeing.
