Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine known to be one of the oldest healthcare systems in the world. It is a 5,000 years old traditional practice of holistic approach to health and wellness. Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit language, meaning “the science of life,” or the knowledge of longevity.

Prakruti is a unique blueprint for our existence.

It refers to an individual's inherent constitution, which is determined by the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) at the time of conception. It represents the unique physical, mental, and emotional characteristics of the beautifully embodied consciousness.

Prakruti and Vikruti are determined by an Ayurvedic Practitioner after thorough analysis.

Vikruti is the altered blueprint of our existence.

This blueprint is altered throughout our life by various factors: diet, lifestyle, emotions, age, environment, and so on. These factors start from the time of conception to now. We keep adding to the blueprint of life and that leaves us to our current state of dis-ease.

Prakruti and Vikruti are determined by an Ayurvedic Practitioner after thorough analysis.

According to Ayurveda, five elements make up the universe and all living beings: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. The five elements combine to form the three doshas, or energies, that govern the body: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Vata is the energy of movement and is composed of ether and air.

Pitta is the energy of transformation and is composed of fire and water.

Kapha is the energy of stability and is composed of water and earth.

Each person has a unique combination of the doshas, which affects their physical, mental, and emotional characteristics.

An Ayurvedic practitioner takes a thorough history of the patient and conducts a physical examination, including taking the patient's pulse, to determine their constitution and the state of their doshas. They then create an individualized treatment plan that includes diet, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and other natural therapies to bring the body back into balance.
