Ayurveda believes that disease in the main stems from your mind, your diet and your lifestyle.
There is a misconception that Ayurveda is solely about herbal remedies which can be self-prescribed however this can do more harm than good. We would strongly recommend only starting an Ayurvedic lifestyle/diet or taking remedies once you have sought out the advice of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner and had a consultation.
The aim of your consultation is to evaluate your Dosha or constitution (this is determined at the time of your conception) and more importantly your state of balance or more accurately your imbalance.
Disease only strikes once you are in an imbalanced state – of course the severity of the disease / disorder this will depend on the severity of your imbalance. This imbalance is caused by eating the incorrect foods, living in the incorrect way for your constitution and many other internal and external factors.
It is believed in Ayurveda that if we can get you back to a balanced state or as close to it then we should be able to eliminate the disease / disorder and stop the root cause of the disorder from re-appearing.
Thereafter, you can manage your health through your newfound knowledge, diet and lifestyle.
