What's So Unique About Ayurveda?

/

Over the last 15 years, my journey of Ayurveda has continued to evolve and grow. It’s both my passion and purpose and I feel truly blessed. Ever since I was a child I had been immersed in various diet and lifestyle practices and rituals that, at the time I didn’t know were rooted in Ayurvedic science. If you’re intrigued about how such an ancient science is more relevant today that ever before but feel it’s not ‘science’ or doesn’t have ‘evidence’ or too mystical, then read on for why it’s most profound system of medicine and healing in my eyes:

Ayurveda is not:

  • A short-term fix to your health issues

  • The next fad diet

  • Too complicated and technical

  • A one size fits all approach to your health

  • A 10 minute assessment followed by a prescription

  • A compartmentalised system of medicine

  • Disease focussed

  • Solely for those of Indian origin

Ayurveda is:

  • 5000 year old sister science of yoga

  • A science and a philosophy

  • Rooted in ancient wisdom from the Indian Subcontinent

  • A truly holistic system of medicine - Modern medicine has plenty positive research on isolated elements of Ayurveda but it’s not in the context of the complexities of real life

  • Both curative and preventative

  • An intuitive system of medicine

  • A universal science for all of humanity 

  • A system that allows the body to heal naturally and function optimally

  • It is an integrative approach to health

  • Based on a trusting patient - practitioner relationship

  • Addressing the root cause of a health issue

  • Complete and multifaceted - it looks at the total wellbeing of a patient (mind, body, emotions, spirit)

  • We don't ask 'what is the disease?' but why & how the disease came to be

  • Food as medicine - the food we eat transforms to become us

  • Lifestyle as medicine - we are what we do, think and feel

  • Nature & Nurture - genes, epigenetics and environment all play their role in our health

  • All about the 5 elements (space, air, fire, water & earth)

  • Aligned to the rhythm of nature

  • About embracing daily rituals 

  • A journey of wellness not a fix for an illness

  • Diet and lifestyle based on your mind -body type

  • The seasonal, environmental, age, strength, digestion and more are taken into consideration for the diagnosis

  • Uses traditional diagnostics tools and values and uses modern methods too

  • 100% personalised approach to health and wellbeing

  • Ayurveda is focused on thriving not just surviving

  • Get intimate with your gut health to understand the impact on your wellbeing

  • Recognise the early sign and symptoms way earlier than conventional medicine Diet is based on taste and qualities and not calories

  • Encompasses, diet, lifestyle, natural medicines, yoga deep cleansing processes, body treatments, breathing, meditation, energy healing and more.

  • A faith based science - faith in your ability to heal. So much research now shows the impact of the placebo effect.

  • Evolving with time - adaptable principles given to suit climates, location, stages or life and times of day,

  • The science of LIFE & LONGEVITY
