The Ayurvedic approach to health

It’s not about the food we eat, it’s about the food we digest.

Ayurvedic practitioner Dr Robert Svoboda

One of the main aims of Ayurveda is to help us achieve a balanced relationship with the environment that we live in. Eating seasonal, local produce is one of the easiest ways to manage your health. Developing an awareness of how your digestive system is functioning is one of the best ways to monitor your own health. How we metabolise, digest and eliminate our food is a great diagnostic tool for how our body is functioning. To help keep the body in an optimal state of health, Ayurveda has developed daily routines that are recommended for each dosha. It also recommends periods of cleansing and fasting for certain doshas in specific seasons.
