Utilizing a wide range of healing modalities including but not limited to herbs, proper nutrition, purification, aromatherapy, yoga, meditation, sound healing and much more, ayurveda treats not just the ailment but the whole person, with the emphasis on disease prevention as well as the cure of specific symptoms.
This science offers a profound understanding of each person's unique body, mind, and consciousness, which is the foundation of health and happiness.
Unlike Western medicine, which attempts to surpress the symptoms of illness through medication, ayurveda seeks to find and cure the cause of disease and therefore is quite effective at treating many chronic ailments. Ayurvedic treatment is based on the ascertainment of individual constitution and by determining your unique metabolic type, you will learn to support the choices that benefit your type and avoid those that upset your equilibrium.

The gathering of information continues with a complete medical and life history and detailed review of diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress, speech patterns etc. Examination of the state of health of the 7 tissue layers through pulse readings, tongue examination and physical and visual inspection is an integral part of this process. All of this information gives the ayurvedic practioner a complete picture of the patient at the present moment. Any questions and concerns are addressed in the consultation process.
