What is Ayurveda and how can we benefit from it?

Ayurveda is a natural system of medicine that originated in India more than 3,000 years ago! Derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge), Ayurveda translates to the knowledge or science of life.

The system of Ayurveda attributes disease to imbalances in a person’s consciousness. It prescribes treatments unique to the individual’s bodily constitution (Prakriti) based upon the 3 life forces or Doshas: movement (Vata), metabolism (Pitta), and nourishment (Kapha).

The primary focus of an Ayurvedic cleanse and detox is to find balance between the body, mind, spirit and the environment through an internal purification process accompanied by a special diet, herbal remedies, yoga, and meditation. Treatment aids the individual by eliminating impurities, reducing symptoms, increasing metabolism and resistance to disease, quietening mental anguish and bringing harmony to all areas of life.

This spring, give your body a cleanse that is healthy and delicious without withholding food, causing mood swings, or stripping the body of vital nutrients.
