Functional Medicine

Are you going through a difficult life challenge, or perhaps a transition, and experiencing emotional or physical symptoms? Is the season changing and you want to maintain your immunity and vitality?

Seasons of the year, 'seasons' of life, and transitions can be especially difficult for the delicate balance of the body, mind and spirit. This can cause symptoms of distress, and subtle shifts, which, if ignored, can solidify into more serious illness. Keeping the dynamic relationships of your constitutional elements harmonious is crucial to staying vital during these times.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a subtle and powerful system of natural medicine from India.  It is based on determining the nature of your constitutional imbalances, and restoring your original constitutional blueprint. In so doing, it relieves symptoms and supports sustained vitality.

Ayurveda, which means the “science or knowledge of life”, started with the yogis over 5000 years ago, and developed into the natural medicine system of India. Ayurveda encompasses natural medicines, herbs, diet and lifestyle practices to maintain wellness, and treat imbalances.

In Ayurveda, our internal physiology is described by certain qualities that exist in the natural world, and make up our unique constitution. These qualities manifest from the elements and inform the functioning of our body, mind and spirit.

“Being of nature, we can become imbalanced much like the environment can. These imbalances lead to illness, disease, pain, emotional and mental issues. The beauty is that being of nature, we can use natural remedies to restore balance.”

Common symptoms that Ayurveda can address:

Examples of what kind of symptoms Ayurveda can help with
