About Ayurveda:
Ayurveda is an ancient system of health and wellness. It derived from the oldest philosophies known to humankind, called the Vedas. It is for people who by harmonizing themselves seek to act as harmonizing forces in their families, lives, communities, society and the planet.
Why digestion?
“When diet is wrong medicine is of no use;
When diet is right medicine is of no need”
Digestion is pivotal to overall health in Ayurveda. As is sleep and the preservation of vital energy which allows for good physical and emotional health and function. "Diet” holds meaning beyond what we put in our mouths. It is how we feed ourselves through relationships, daily rhythm, lifestyle and approach to the day.
