Ayurveda, the ancient healing system from India, aims to alleviate suffering by treating the root cause of disease according to our unique constitution, while promoting longevity, balance and happiness. Its sister science Yoga improves health of the body and mind with the ultimate goal of progressing spiritual awakening. Ayurvedic Me aims to ignite self awareness and healing by conveying these ancient principles in a unique way for you, treating conditions such as:
"Health is wealth, happiness is peace of mind..." (Swami Vishnu Devananda)
Ayurveda, meaning 'knowledge of life' is the 5000 year old ancient healing system from India that lays down guidelines on how to live a long, happy and healthy life. An Ayurvedic practitioner will give treatment, lifestyle, nutritional, herbal and exercise/relaxation advice best suited to your own individual constitution (known in the ancient original language Sanskrit, as Prakriti). This is the unique mix of the three biophysical forces (doshas): Vata, Pitta and Kapha, which are based on the elements of Ether/Air, Fire/Water and Water/Earth respectively. Less suitable life choices and general life stresses can lead to imbalance in our constitution leaving us vulnerable to those ailments and conditions to which we may be genetically and constitutionally susceptible. Harmonising more closely with the rhythms of nature and balancing our inherent constitution can prevent disease while improving our health, vitality and happiness.
"A wise person has the world as their teacher." (Vaghbata's Heart of Medicine 6th CE)

“Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness.” Hippocrates, Greek physician (460 BC - 377 BC)
