To understand the system of Ayurveda, one must first be aware of its origin. Ayurveda preserves the health in the healthy and aims to cure the health in the diseased.
|
|
A great deal of information has been lost or hidden however the Caraka and Susruta Samhitas are broad enough in scope that they describe almost the entire system of Ayurveda The Sanskrit meaning of Ayurveda is Ayur- meaning life and Veda as knowledge. Caraka expands on this definition telling us that Ayur is "the combination of the body, sense organs, mind and soul". The second part of the word veda can be translated as "knowledge" or "science" but more specifically suggests a profound knowledge that emanates from a divine source, and therefore Ayurveda is known as The Divine Science of Life.
In Ayurveda our bodies are either in a state of Balance or Imbalance.
Ayurveda preserves the health in the healthy and aims to cure the health of the diseased.

The Doshas
|
|
|
Ayurvedic texts have recognised three body types or Doshas as they are known. We are born with our life-long constitution (Prakrti) which in Sanskrit means Nature, Creativity or The first creation.
This basic constitution is fixed throughout our lifetime as is our DNA and our fingerprint. This however will move and change according to our lifestyle and environment. So our current state of health, known as our Vikrti may be in an altered and unbalanced state if we do not live in accordance with and in harmony with our body, mind and our soul. Perfect equilibrium is achieved when our current dosha is in balance with our Prakrti. This is achieved through diet, lifestyle and meditation. The three Doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
Once the Dosha is identified, balance may be restored in all aspects of life.

Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultation, recommendations and advice on
Ayurvedic Nutrition and Treatment
|
|
|
During your Ayurvedic consultation, we ascertain what your dosha or constitution is and how best to balance it and bring about harmony within your body and life through diet and some lifestyle adjustments.
Following an Ayurvedic regime may help with diagnosed medical conditions only when the program is adhered to. Increasing the digestive fire and eliminating the build up of toxins can only be achieved with the right action and at the right time.
Good health is achieved through good digestion and is the key to happiness. With right thought, an Ayurvedic plan will restore harmony and peace of mind to the entire mind, body, senses and soul. A dedicated Yoga practice is beneficial to the holistic approach to healing, Ayurveda's sister science.
A healthy body is one whose diet is in accordance with the season and their constitution.

Marma Point Therapy

Marma therapy is a multidimensional approach to health, which includes the physical, energetic and mental aspects of the whole. Marma therapy is an important part of Ayurvedic treatments as they are primarily energetic centres where the life force (Prana) accumulates and flows. They are important centres that govern the air and ether elements in the body and therefore can be used to control the elements as a whole in the body. Each Marma point has corresponding organs, systems, senses, nadis (the main energy system to the chakras) and chakras that it rules. Therapeutically by working on the Marma points we can control the factors which affect them.
