Holistic approach to health
Our bodies contain many systems which all need to work in harmony in order for us to feel well, when something is out of sync or simply malfunctioning we can feel utterly terrible. Intrinsically linked with this is our mental well being, we have all had those days where we have woken up feeling a little sad or maybe upset or angry and that results in upset stomachs or muscle pain and fatigue. This places an importance on keeping our bodies running in tune and keeping our minds healthy, many have achieved this using Ayurvedic therapy.
So what is Ayurvedic therapy? Put simply it is a whole body or holistic approach to feeling fantastic and hopefully living for longer, for this to happen our body doshas must be balanced. Just like a car engine which will not run smoothly if it has timing or ignition problems, our bodies cannot function at an optimum with unbalanced dosha when this is the case you will simply not feel well. Tailor-made Ayurveda treatments will gently correct imbalance in the dosha bringing mind, body and spirit into harmony so the individual feels better.
Although many parts of the western world view Ayurveda as a complementary therapy it is so effective that in Southern India it is viewed as the primary source of healthcare and in fact practiced as a way of life by many. Those seeking an authentic experience have travelled to India to stay in an Ayurveda beach resort where they can experience the benefits firsthand. The Ayurvedic diet for example, focuses on clean eating (without pesticides and other preservatives), using fresh local ingredients and incorporating the six tastes (sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent) daily thus leaving the individual feeling satisfied. Following these principles plus incorporating massage, yoga and meditation into daily routine is recommended for maximum benefits.
