Welcome to TheraVeda

Are you looking at tuning into your Nutrition and are curious about Ayurveda and how it can assist your life?

How are you bringing Ayurveda into your life?

Ayurveda originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda teaches us that the universe is made up of five elements (Mahabhutas): ether, air, fire, water, and earth. Ether is the governing element of space. Air is the governing element of movement. Fire is the governing element of transformation. Water is the governing element of cohesion. Earth is the governing element of structure. Tuning into the elements around us can move us further into our health and well being.

Ayurveda focuses on living in balance with the rhythms of nature. When we are in harmony with our external system our internal health is balanced. When we are in balance our mind, body, soul connection aligns. If we step out of the daily and seasonal rhythms of nature imbalances begin to appear. To address an imbalance, Ayurveda teaches us to treat ourselves with the opposite qualities of the environment.

The Ayurvedic approach addresses the individual’s current psychological, emotional, and physical state through the system of the doṣas and their connecting qualities. Ayurveda is a science for practical living and it encompasses daily routines and seasonal routines. Ayurveda focuses on spices, nutrition, herbs, plants, lifestyle, and tuning inward. It strives to teach through us a basic understanding of cause and effect and of the harmonious balance of the body and mind. Its laws are based on observing and watching nature itself. Ayurveda is the breath, the mind, the spirit, and the soul. Slow down, listen to your body, and hear how it is speaking to you.
