Ayurveda is a truly holistic system that embraces the healing of all aspects of your being (body, mind, and consciousness) through diet, lifestyle (including exercise, yoga and meditation), Ayurvedic herbs and herbal preparations, as well as cleansing and rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapies and Panchakarma, a deep detox program unique to Ayurveda. Ayurveda states that good digestion is the key to optimal health. Therefore, food combining and diet can make a vital contribution to continuous good health. An Ayurvedic health program will help you to slowly implement routines and dietary guidelines specific to your constitution and/or doshic imbalance. The use of Ayurvedic herbs and herbal preparations will promote balance and harmony of the doshas, strengthening the immune system and promote general vitality. A balanced lifestyle that takes into consideration regularity in food, sleeping habits, and bowel movements, as well as following daily routines and practices such as yoga (or exercise) and meditation, will bring discipline and help maintain the harmony of the doshas, thus promoting overall health. Throughout your consultations, you will learn and understand various theoretical and practical aspects of Ayurveda, and be able to progressively integrate them into your lifestyle. Slow change is permanent change. Also, specific Ayurvedic therapies may be suggested to help you in the healing process, depending on your individual needs and state of health. Aspects of Your Ayurvedic Regime at our Ayurveda and Panchakarma Clinic• Learn how to choose a suitable diet to bring balance, harmony, and health into your life, based on Ayurvedic principles. • Cook foods properly and avoid combinations that can create toxins in your body, while you learn some of the basic concepts behind Ayurvedic cooking:
