A Constitution-Specific Approach
Ayurveda is a holistic and ancient Indian medical system that recognizes each person has their own unique mind-body constitution (dosha), and this constitution should be factored into approaches to health and wellness. It also understands we are continuous with our environment and better health can be achieved by aligning with the rhythms of nature, and by recognizing what we are taking in through our five senses. The awareness of your own constitution, and how it can be affected by the environment, diet, and lifestyle, can help you to identify when imbalances are occurring. This allows you to take an active role in improving your health. The integration of Ayurvedic practices can be simple and practical, but may have a big impact on your overall health and wellness.
One of the main pathways of disease begins with an imbalance in your dosha. Ayurveda focuses on disease prevention by addressing imbalances (the root cause) as they arise.
