A glimpse at the Doshas

A consultation provides you an opportunity to create perfect health in an interpersonal setting with an Ayurveda professional. We will determine your “Prakriti” or true nature. This reveals what elements are most dominant and when you are in perfect health. Then we will access your “Vikriti” or current state. Sometimes over the course of our lives we deviate from our true nature as a result of life circumstances, environmental factors, wrong foods, improper use of the senses, irregular sleep patterns and stress to name a few. This vitiation from perfection often manifests as “feeling a little off”, discomfort and disease. Our goal in Ayurveda is to return to our true nature. You and your consultant will work together to create a wellness plan that is doable and effective. We use food as medicine. You will learn how to access nutrition through the lens of elements and qualities to restore balance. Spices, herbs and oils are extremely beneficial. You will gain an understanding on how, when and why to use them. We also utilize lifestyle, daily routines (Dinacharaya), seasonal routines (Ritucharaya) and stress management. You will receive personalized education and support for self-knowledge and self-healing. You can enhance your well being and acquire the natural tools to prevent and manage disease. Through Ayurveda you become an active participant in your own health.
