"There are three pillars that support our health and happiness. These are our diet, lifestyle (including exercise) and how we manage stress.
When there is a crack in any of these pillars, disease can creep in and take root." Dr. Claudia Welch, MSOM Doctor of Oriental Medicine |
When Diet is Wrong, Medicine is of no use.
When Diet is Correct, Medicine is of no need. -Ayurvedic Proverb The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease. -Thomas Edison Let Food Be Thy Medicine, and Thy Medicine Be Thy Food. -Hippocrates |
Ayurveda, "the science of life", originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is the oldest continuously practiced medicine in the world. Ayurveda is drawn from an understanding of nature's rhythms and laws and is based upon a deep communion with the spirit of
the vital life force and its manifestations within our psychological and physical being.
Human beings are not just chemistry and physical form. Our overall health is an expression of a living consciousness that is universal in nature....which is inherently wise and which has the power to balance and transform itself once its nature is understood. Ayurveda is built around the five elements of ether, air, fire, water and earth and their roles in the natural world.
Ayurveda is "a way of life that teaches us how to maintain health and improve both our energy and our awareness-how to live life to our full human and spiritual potential. Ayurveda shows us not only how to eliminate disease but how to promote longevity so that we can realize our goal in life, which is not just gaining material happiness but achieving profound spiritual realization. Ayurveda remains linked to a spiritual view of humanity and contains methods for connecting us to the greater universe that lies both within and around us." -Dr. David Frawley
The Ayurvedic Definition of Health
" One who is established in Self, who has balanced dosas (primary life force), balanced agni (fire of digestion),
properly formed dhatus (tissues), proper elimination of malas (waste products), well-functioning bodily processes,
and whose mind, soul and senses are full of bliss, is called a healthy person."
