Ayurveda treatment is a science, which uses the inherent principles of nature, to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature.
In Ayurveda we view a person as a unique individual made up of five primary elements just as in nature. The elements are ether (space), air, fire, water, and earth which seen to have an ability to combine to create various physiological functions. Ether and air combine to form Vata dosha. Fire and water combine to form the Pitta dosha. Water and earth elements combine to form the Kapha dosha.
Ayurveda gives us a model to look at each individual as a unique makeup of the three doshas –“Vata, Pitta or Kapha” and to thereby design treatment protocols that specifically address a persons health challenges. When any of the doshas become accumulated, Ayurveda will suggest specific lifestyle and nutritional guidelines to assist the individual in reducing the dosha that has become excessive. We may also suggest certain herbal supplements to hasten the healing process. If toxins in the body are abundant, then a cleansing process known as panchakarma is recommended to eliminate these unwanted toxins.
