Ayurveda
Ayurveda medicine seeks to address the root causes of disease rather than the symptoms to achieve a state of health and balance.
To establish these root causes, it is imperative for the practitioner to understand the history, lifestyle and dietary habits of the client. Ayurveda medicine uses specific methods to establish imbalances, so that the appropriate course of action can be taken. This varies according to the individual, but can include herbal preparations, a course of purification (Panchakarma), massage, exercise, breathing techniques, meditation, and dietary and lifestyle advice.
