“When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.”
I work with people of all ages seeking a healthier, better experience of life on all levels.
What ever their circumstance or situations, the first places I begin with is the state of the digestion.
According to Ayurvedic principles - if we have a healthy digestion, we have robust immunity. We can also digest our thoughts, emotions and experiences of daily life.
In short - we overall feel well.
And if there is weakness in digestion?
Hippocrates (the father of western medicine) said: “Every disease begins in the stomach”.
He was referring to this foundation of health that Ayurveda bases itself on. The digestive health is known as Agni - the digestive Fire. If it’s tended to and respected, Agni provides vital energy for life right up until our final years. If mis-used - it will cause pain, suffering and disease in the body and mind.
Weakness in digestion is the root cause for all disease today.
Do any of the following sound familiar?
Sleep issues | insomnia | general fatigue | skin outbreaks | arthritis | gas throughout the day | bloating | water retention | loose bowels | constipation | heart burn |reflux nausea | brain fog | imbalanced emotions | PMS | fast signs of ageing | anxiety | dark circles around the eyes | various forms of depression | emotional stress | allergies
The list is endless. And these are the conditions that so many of us go to a doctor to get prescriptions for.
The prescription is really putting a band aid over the ailment.
Ayurveda goes to the root of the issue.
And the root of health is in digestion.
