Ayurveda is a system of medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years. It’s widely used by people across India and other parts of Asia, both on its own and in conjunction with Western medicine.

Ayurveda is a natural and safe approach to health and well-being, suitable for anyone of any age. It aims to:

1. Treat and cure existing diseases.

2. Strengthen your immune system and your body’s ability to heal itself.

3. Help you maintain a natural, balanced state in both body and mind.

How Ayurveda is different to Western medicine:

Modern medicine attempts to treat and remove the symptoms of illness, rather than treat the person suffering from the symptoms. This stems from the view that we are all more or less the same.

In Ayurveda, the human body is considered to be a combination of five basic elements. These elements are influenced by three vital forces and the balance between these forces is seen as the key to good health. Each person is recognized as an individual and therefore receives a personal treatment and healing plan.

For example, we believe taking synthetic medicine, which can have harmful side-effects, is not a viable long-term solution for chronic conditions. Rather, we believe it’s better to focus on the whole person to achieve healing and maintain long-lasting good health.
