Ayurvedic therapies and treatments are administered as a combination of herbal concoctions and lifestyle changes that help balance the three principal energies of the body: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Ayurvedic treatments ensure all three doshas are at their optimum levels to cure and prevent disease. The duration and method of the treatment may vary depending on the Prakriti (inherent constitution) of the individual.
An Ayurvedic practitioner will create a treatment plan specifically designed for each patient. They’ll consider your unique physical and emotional makeup, your primary life force, and the balance between all three of these elements. The goal of treatment is to cleanse your body of undigested food, which can stay in your body and lead to illness. The cleansing process is called “panchakarma”. This is designed to reduce your body’s systems and restore harmony and balance. To achieve this, an Ayurvedic practitioner may suggest blood purification, massage, medical oils, herbs, and enemas or laxatives.
This holistic ideology extends to how Ayurvedic treatments are performed. Ayurvedic treatments target the root cause of the problem rather than merely suppressing or masking the symptoms. It focuses on achieving the perfect harmony between the mind, body, and soul to live a disease-free, complete life.
