What’s the buzz around Ayurveda
Ayurveda is becoming a popular modality in the U.S. as more people begin to seek holistic alternatives to health and wellness. Ayurveda is an ancient form of medicine rooted in India that focuses on root causes and lifestyle factors that create imbalances in the body. Its goal is to promote a mind-body connection that enhances the body’s innate ability to self-heal. As it becomes popular in the U.S. it is prone to becoming watered down by removing the authenticity of the practice to make it relatable to those seeking a quick fix. It is important to uphold the integrity of this ancient practice by honoring the body in its wholeness. Practicing Ayurveda in its rooted form is known to remove mental and physical toxins and impurities while empowering one to create a lifestyle that promotes their prakriti or body-constitution. It is a beautiful preventative wellness practice from the mind to the body and everything in between. Doshas make up one's Prakriti and by understanding doshas we can begin to create harmony within the body and mind and relationships with self and others.
