Why Ayurveda?
It has survived for at least 5000 years (despite the failure of many different systems). Patients tend to show improvement according to many subjective sources. It has always been popular.
Ayurvedic medicines can be safely used with other conventional medicines. Treatment is personalized to your symptoms, rather than using a conventional, "across the board" approach to healing
Concept of Health
Ayurveda is a medical system that deals not only with body but with the mind and spirit as well. The fundamental aim of ayurvedic therapy is to restore the balance between the 3 humours or dosha (VATA, PITTA, KAPHA) and coordination of body, mind, and consciousness.
Uniqueness of Ayurveda
It heals from the root-cause of an illness, not merely treating the symptoms. It looks at people as individuals, not as a generic group.

Balanced Tri-Dosha means a Healthy Person Every person (and thing) contains all three doshas. However, the proportion varies according to the individual and usually one or two doshas predominate. Within each person the doshas are continually interacting with one another and with the doshas in all the nature. This explains why people can have much in common but also have an endless variety of individual differences in the way they behave and respond to their environment.

This tri-doshic and natural detoxification soup is one of the powerful soups in Ayurveda. Works by cleansing liver and gall bladder. Helps to detoxify your body.

Excellent for conditions of fever. This soup is a high protein combination and an energizer when used with Rice and Roti.
Reduce the use of refined sugar, salt, white flour, hard cheese and processed or microwaved food
Sip hot water during a meal but refrain from taking any liquids for up to half an hour before and after food. This ensures that the stomachs digestive enzymes do not become diluted.
Eat fruit separately from main meals to prevent fermentation in the gut.
Always chew your food thoroughly this stimulates the salivary glands and also ensures food reaches the stomach in a pre-digested, liquid form that is easier to digest and assimilate.
Take a short stroll after a large meal, and then a short rest afterwards if desired Aloe-Vera juice is good for everyone but it is especially beneficial for those suffering from pitta imbalances. It is good for digestion, cleansing and elimination. Take about 30mls of the juice each day. Turmeric is both bitter and astringent and is a blood purifier and antioxidant. One teaspoon cooked with your meals is an excellent way to increase antioxidant intake. Vata people should use half this amount as it is can sometimes be too drying and depleting for them.
