Our approach is based on the Philosphy of Ayurveda and the Western approach to herbal medicine which is to help people heal themselves. A unique quality of Ayurveda is that healing is promoted by balancing the different energies in the body. These energies are known as Doshas or body humors. The five elements (ether, air, fire, water and earth) have three main combinations;vata, which represents ether and air, pitta, mainly fire, and kapha, which represets water and earth.
