Ayurveda (Ayu means Life, Veda means Knowledge or Science)

is the art of daily living in harmony with the laws of nature.

It is an ancient natural wisdom of health and healing, a science of life

aimed to maintain the health of a healthy person and heal the disease of an unhealthy person.

Prevention (maintenance of good health) and healing are evaluated and carried out by entirely natural means.

The use of Darsham (visual examination) can be used for both;

understanding the person’s natural constitution (Prakruti) and the current state (Vikruti).

Imbalance leads to disorder, and disorder leads to disease;

correcting the imbalances at an early stage is a true form of prevention.

According to Ayurveda, health is a perfect state of balance among the body’s three fundamental doshas

(vata, pitta, kapha) and an equally vital balance among body, mind, and the soul or consciousness.

Ayurveda is a holistic system of healing in which

body, mind, and consciousness are in constant interaction and relationship with other people and the environment.

It uses various tools to favor and address self‑healing and healthy personal growth:

Diet, Nutrition, Lifestyle, Exercise, Rest and Relaxation, Meditation, Breathing Exercises, and Medicinal Herbs,

along with Cleansing and Rejuvenation Programs for healing Body, Mind, and Spirit.

The purpose of the Ayurveda Cafe’ is to acquaint you with these natural methods,

so you can make the lifestyle choices and learn the self‑healing modalities that are right for you

in order to create, maintain, or restore health and balance.

Ayurveda teaches that we all have an individual psychobiological makeup (Prakruti)

built at the exact moment of conception; this is our unique constitution created by the universal energies of the five structural elements.
