Clinical AyurvedaVirtual Consultations
In Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, we focus heavily on the concept of "accumulation of cause," meaning, all large and small potential elements that may aggravate your main concerns.
Then, we create a detailed plan of herbal, dietary, and lifestyle medicine with the goal of reestablishing an environment in which your body may return to balance, known in the West as homeostasis.
​
Ayurveda is excellent support for chronic conditions, and works best when a patient is prepared to commit 2-3 months to adjusting their diet and lifestyle with bi-monthly appointments to reassess and move to the next stage.
