Samadosha, samagnischa samadhatumala kriyaha prasanna atmenindriya manaha swasthya ityabhidheeyate”- Charaka & Vaghbhata sloka

Translation – Optimal health is obtained when the digestive fire (digestion) is in balance, the doshas are in balance and the tissues (dhatus) and wastes are working in a normal state.

The sensory and motor organs and mind, (atma), must be also in a pleasant state. Such a person is called a healthy person or Swastha.

Ayurveda is a holistic science to heal existing conditions, to prevent illness and to live in an optimal way for your body, mind and soul. No one is perfect and nor do you need to be. It is more about getting to know yourself and giving your body some time. In our busy lives, I often hear people say that they don’t have time for their health. The reality is, if you don’t have time for your body, when you need it, it may not have time for you.

Ayurveda looks to treat the individual by examining the root cause of the disease. For a complete picture, we are to look at a person’s physical health, their mental health and if they feel comfortable sharing, their emotional health.

“When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.”

– Ancient Ayurvedic proverb

The food that we put into our bodies is the basis of Ayurveda. If you don’t eat the correct food, herbs may not be of benefit. Ayurvedic treatment requires commitment on the client’s side as this is not a quick fix. We work with the body’s circadian rhythm and body clock, giving it the space to enable healing. Through dietary changes alone, you can see a lot of positive changes.
