Why Ayurveda?
Ayurveda takes an individualistic approach to health and well-being first by maintaining the existing health, then healing any imbalances.
One person’s medicine is another one’s poison.
There is nothing innately good or bad in this world, just good or bad for each individual, depending on what qualities the person and items may have.
Connecting us back to the rhythms of nature, Ayurveda focuses on prevention and healing using foods & cooking, herbs, daily & seasonal routines, and regular practices to bring balance to the mind and body. There are never harmful side effects…only side benefits!
When imbalance occurs, ayurveda doesn’t treat the symptoms. The first step in healing is to isolate the cause of the imbalance, so that it may be curtailed in order to prevent the imbalance from returning.
Healing is generally done by correcting the digestive fire and balancing the doshas.

Vatas – things can dry up, move a lot, be irregular, cause confusion, lack of sleep, constipation Pitta – things heat up causing criticism, inflammation, acid reflux, skin issues …
