What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a 5000-year-old medical system with Indian roots, and is one of the most highly practiced alternative medicines. Ayurvedic practices aim for overall wellbeing and longevity by reducing bodily imbalances through a balanced lifestyle.

The holistic approach tends to focus on managing a person’s physical, mental, moral, and spiritual health. Ayurvedic practitioners believe a person’s health is dependent on the strength and fitness of their body.

Benefits of Ayurvedic treatments

Ayurvedic treatments have several physical, spiritual, and psychological benefits, which include:

What to expect

Ayurveda uses five diagnostic methods called Pancha Nidana to diagnose a disease:

• Nidana – the cause

During a consultation, an Ayurvedic doctor will evaluate:

• Basic constitution and any imbalance of doshas
• Any possible lifestyle causes
