Ayurveda

When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.
~Ayurvedic proverb

Ayurveda is considered the oldest natural healing science in the world, dating back over 5,000 years ago. Ayur translates as ‘Life’ and Veda relates to ‘Science’, therefore Ayurveda is known as “The Science of Life”.

Working with the five elements found in Nature, Air, Space, Fire, Earth and Water, Ayurveda teaches us that what is in the Universe is also present in us. To varying degrees an individual will have these elements in differing amounts creating a unique constitution that goes in and out of balance with the seasons, our life choices, our age etc.

The beauty of Ayurveda is to become aware of our imbalances and to work with ourselves and nature to bring us back to balance. This is an ongoing everchanging cycle.

As an ayurvedic practitioner, Viv can help with lifestyle and dietary choices as well as various treatments to aid in bringing one back to balance.
