PHILOSOPHY
Ayurveda removes the cause of disease and re-establishes balance to our system. According to the HOLISTIC concept of Ayurveda, we are composed of three bodies physical, astral, causal ie. body, mind and soul. The physical body consists of the elements (mahabhoot), the 3 humor forces (vat, pitt and kaph), the 7 tissue systems (Ras rakt etc.), which remain in BALANCE by the metabolic energy/fire (agni).
Ayurvedic treatment emphasizes preventive and healing therapies along with various methods of purification and rejuvenation (Shodhan & panchkarma). Ayurveda is more of a healing system; it is science and an art of appropriate living that helps to achieve longevity. It guides individuals in the proper diet, living habits and exercise to help restore balance in the body, mind and consciousness, preventing diseases from gaining a foothold in the system.
