Ayurveda is the science of life and longevity, guiding us how to align ourselves with nature's cycles and nurture ourselves with mindfulness.

​

Ayurveda focuses on the individual and their unique needs, and recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all diet or lifestyle that fits everyone at all times. It takes into consideration the whole person rather than just the symptoms, and aims to heal imbalances, cure diseases, and lead people to a healthier lifestyle.

​

From an ayurvedic perspective, when your mind, body, and spirit are aligned with the universe, you have good health. When something interferes with the balance, then this leads to dis-ease.

​

​Ayurvedic medicine is holistic. It takes into account the mind, the emotions, the spirit, and the physical body. It teaches us to take care of ourselves and to look after our body, mind, and soul. 

​

Ayurveda is based on the five elements:

 

• Water

• Air

• Fire

• Space

• Earth

 

 

The elements work with life force energies - the doshas- that, simply put, make up everything around us, including us.

 

These doshas are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. From an Ayurvedic point of view, dis-ease in the body is connected with an imbalance of the doshas. Here are the main functions of each dosha:

​

• Vata: responsible for movement, speech, and thought, as well as respiration, nervous system, and circulation

• Pitta: responsible for digestion, metabolism, and excretion.

• Kapha: responsible for nutrition, reproduction, and immunity. 

What is the Ayurvedic diet about?

Ayurveda believes that food is medicine. It promotes and supports our overall health. The Ayurvedic diet is always tailored to your specific needs based on the principles of the doshas. From this perspective, Ayurvedic food is also divided into these three categories - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. For each dosha, there are pacifying foods that will help balance a dosha out of balance, and foods that would aggravate any imbalance.
