Jennifer Carlson, Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant

Ayurveda For Life

Ayurveda originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is the oldest continuously practiced health-care system in the world.

An Ayurvedic approach treats each individual, taking into account unique psychological, emotional, and physical conditions. Because our world and bodies are constantly adjusting to new environments, when these environments become imbalanced we feel it in some way.

Ayurvedic healing concentrates on prevention and understanding one’s own makeup and focuses on how the outer world and environment affect one’s daily life.

What will Ayurveda do for me?

The goal of Ayurveda is to teach people how to attain optimal health through a deeper understanding of themselves and their own particular nature in relationship to the world around them. It is a system based on natural healing through strengthening the body, mind, and spirit and allowing the body’s own natural healing mechanisms to work to their fullest potential.

In Ayurveda, any condition in which the body is out of balance is considered dis-ease, or disease. Therefore, Ayurveda treats a wide range of conditions and looks to do so by determining and affecting the cause, rather than treating the presenting symptoms
