In our modern society, the majority of us only think of medicine when we “fall ill” and only then we seek treatment. The treatment we normally follow is aimed at fixing something already broken. Western medicine although highly developed, treats disease through invasive therapies such as drugs or surgery which may have resulting side effects.
Ayurveda as a holistic system of health works mainly at prevention of diseases, teaching us how to live a balanced life, how to eat well and how to live according to our doshas in the environment we are living.
When the patient is already sick, Ayurveda recommends a system of purification with natural ingredients and therapies to collect the toxins that have accumulated in different parts of the body, and then expel them, purifying the body, that together with the use of natural herbs, the right life style, the right way to eat and a conscious way of life will lead the patient back to a state of equilibrium, that is our his natural state (prakruti) and as a result health and happiness will follow.
