Ojas Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. The word Ayurveda is a combination of two words, Ayu, meaning life, and Veda, meaning knowledge. Ayurvedic principles teach how to cure diseases and prevent them by living in harmony with nature. Ayurveda provides guidelines on ideal daily and seasonal routines, diet, behavior, and the proper use of our sense organs. It recommends removing accumulated toxins (“aama") in the body — which is the root cause of imbalances and illness — through various Ayurvedic techniques, herbal supplements, diet, and lifestyle changes. Ayurvedic guidelines and home remedies are general guidelines for otherwise healthy individuals. Please consult a professional Ayurvedic practioner or your healthcare provider before trying anything new if you have any under lying health conditions.
