Ayurveda
Ayurveda is more than just a popular form of alternative medicine. It is a system of holistic healing unlike any other. Thought to be over five thousand years old, Ayurvedic medicine teaches us to see the world as it relates to the elements—or doshas—of vata, pitta, and kapha.
According to Ayurveda, everyone is born with a mixture of these three doshas. Determining your primary dosha is the first step towards finding your optimal state of balanced, natural health.

What is Ayurveda?
The name “Ayurveda” is derived from two words in Sanskrit, “ayuh” meaning “life” or “longevity” and “veda” meaning “science” or “sacred knowledge.” Ayurveda’s definition therefore roughly translates as “the science of longevity” or “the sacred knowledge of life.” At its root, Ayurveda is a holistic tradition and way of living that can help each of us claim and celebrate our capacity for wellness.
Ayurveda can help us:
Sync up with our truest inner nature while honoring and developing our strengths
01
Hone in on our challenge areas and redirect detrimental tendencies
02
Maintain calm and balance in the face of adversity
03
In other words, Ayurveda is not simply about taking an herbal formula and waiting for the results. Instead, Ayurveda encourages you to be an active participant in your own journey towards healing.
This involves learning about your relationship with the elements and the unique combinations they create: doshas.
