Healing With Ancient Wisdom

What is Ayurveda?

The sanskrit name has many translations but the most common is “The Science of Life”.

Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga, is an ancient system of natural medicine. Originating in India, the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda is over 5,000 years old, making it the oldest continuously practiced form of medicine in the world. Ayurveda is the root system of all systems of medicine we have today, and effectively compliments and supports modern western medical practices.

Ayurveda uses the 5 elements of nature: Akasha (Ether/Space), Vayu (Air), Agni (Fire), Apas (water), and Pruthivi (Earth) in a system that teaches individuals to manage the physical, emotional, and spiritual body based on ones own individual constitution, current state of health, season, and environment.

Each individual is born with a unique natural state of balanced health called, Prakruti, that of which is fixed. One’s current state of health, or imbalance, is called Vikruti, which is changeable through out one’s lifetime. According to Ayurveda, no two people share the same constitution, therefore what is “healthy” or “unhealthy” is unique to the individual.

A balanced constitution is achieved through understanding proper self-care through diet, exercise, spiritual practice, life-style choices, and herbal medicine.

Ayurveda teaches clients self healing methods alongside using food and remedies derived from nature as medicine to aid in living long and peaceful lives.

“What a wonderful experience! Working with Aurora was like an infusion of new life in me. Even her presence is calming and brings a sense of peace. Working with Aurora to recenter, slow down and balance my health and life from my toxic habits as a classic work-a-holic has given me greater health and happiness. She is a rare find. Her presentation of her knowledge as she helped was always humble and made me feel very comfortable and was non-judgemental. I am grateful I took that first step to begin working with her.
