Ayurveda Center

The central principal of Ayurvedic medicine is that health is present when the three fundamental doshas called Vata, Pitta and Kapha are in a balance. Vata is the air principle and is linked to the function of the nervous system Pitta is the fire principle and is linked to digestion, and metabolism via the venous system. Kapha is the water principle and is related to mucous, lubrication and the carrier of nutrients via the arterial system.  Patients are commonly of a predominant dosha or constitution, but all doshas have the basic elements within them. Ayurvedic therapies include herbs, nutrition, panchakarma cleansing, massage, and therapeutic Yoga.
