About Ayurveda

Ayurveda, often called the “Mother of all Medicine”, is the ancient, time-tested art of physical, mental, and emotional healing that has been practiced continuously for over 5,000 years throughout the Indian subcontinent. Based on balances innate and unique to each individual, Ayurveda works at the deepest levels of life to bring about ease and efficiency in the body, mind, and spirit.

Literally translated as “the science of life”, Ayurveda uses the language of Nature to describe the intricacies of health and disease.

Fundamental to Ayurveda is the understanding that the microcosm (in this case, the body), is no different from the macrocosm (Nature, the Universe). As above, so below. The rhythms that occur in the external environment, or macrocosm, intimately influence the physiological processes of all living beings. Thus, there is a need to construct a life that acknowledges these rhythms, allowing the human body to thrive.
