Dealing with Winter & Vata

  • Wellness Blog
  • Community News

Ayurveda is roughly translated from Sanskrit as “the complete knowledge for a long life.” This natural approach to healing has existed for over 4,000 years and it remains deeply rooted in Indian culture today.

Treatments are largely based around balancing the three fundamental energies – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Ayurvedic theory states that each human is made up of a unique combination of doshas that create our temperaments and personalities. When our doshas exist in unequal quantities – we become ill. Contrary to other medicinal approaches which seek to eliminate the cause of disease, Ayurvedic principles indicate that illness is a symptom of imbalance. If we are able to balance our complex bodies, we will feel energy and vitality.
