Experience the Joy of Self-Care
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a time-tested holistic science of self-care that originated in ancient India and in today’s fast-paced world is more relevant and vital than ever. Examining everything in life through the lens of the five elements, Ayurveda focuses on the subtlest level of the physiology to correct imbalances that can lead to disease, and uses diet, lifestyle, herbs, seasonal cleansing, yoga and meditation for a prevention-oriented approach to wellness.

Get to know your gut
Inside your body lives a vast society consisting of trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as your microbiome. These microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi and even parasites. Most of these bacteria live in your gut, and the functions of your microbiome include stimulating your immune system, breaking down potentially toxic food compounds and synthesizing certain vitamins and amino acids which can which can only be done via enzymes that only exist in certain bacteria. The microbiome is so important that it is considered by some to be a secondary organ.
