Ayurveda (literally: the science of life) is an ancient system of healing from the wisdom of the Vedic scriptures of India that dates back 5000 years. By determining the predominance of bodily humours or doshas, we can determine imbalances within the body. An Ayurvedic practitioner will guide the guest with suggestions of
daily regimes, food, breath, sound,
yoga asana, herbal remedies as well as possible restorative treatments. Our goal is to teach our guests to become his/her own healer. In taking responsibility for one’s own healing, the process to restore balance has begun. Ayurveda is a yogic system of healing whose ultimate goal is Moksha-Liberation. Whether free from disease and discomfort or free from future rebirth, Ayurveda is said to support the body’s balance in our effort to pursue our greater goals. Moon Jewel Offerings include:
