Anything affecting your physical, spiritual and emotional well-being can cause you to be out of balance and therefore cause disease. Ayurveda is a natural holistic approach to health that focuses on treating the whole person – body, mind and spirit, with a primary focus on promoting good health rather than fighting disease. Ayurveda is a sanskrit word, ‘ayu’ meaning “life”, defined in the ancient scriptures as the combination of body, mind and soul. And ‘veda’ meaning “science” – “The science of life.” This unique health practice is a proven ancient method that combines the natural healing components of whole foods, herbs and oils to treat the imbalances of mental, physiological and chemical problems within the body. Many that adopt an ayurvedic lifestyle find that health problems significantly reduce, energy levels rise, sleep improves and weight usually balances itself out without the need for diets.
