Blossom Wellbeing

Ayurveda is an ancient health system that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It’s based on the idea that the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected, and that balancing these elements is the key to achieving optimal health and wellbeing. The word Ayurveda (Sanskrit: आयुर्वेद) comes from the Sanskrit words Ayur, meaning life, and Veda, meaning knowledge ~ so together, the science of life. 

Ayurveda offers a personalized approach to health and wellbeing, taking into account an individual's mind-body-spirit type, known as their Prakriti. Our Prakriti is made up of a unique combination of three fundamental energies or Doshas, called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. According to Ayurveda, our modern diet and lifestyle, stress, environmental factors, and genetics all play a role in the development of imbalances, or Vikruti. 

The goal of Ayurveda is to help individuals achieve and maintain a state of balance, which can be achieved through a combination of dietary and lifestyle strategies, yoga and meditation, bodywork therapies, and herbal medicine. By addressing the root cause of health issues rather than just treating symptoms, Ayurvedic treatments can help restore health and prevent disease.
