Medical Consultations

The Foundation for Mind-Body-Medicine will offer Ayurvedic consultations as part of our comprehensive services. Ayurvedic practice recognizes three operating principles, known as "doshas," found in nature - Vata (Air), Pitta (Fire) and Kapha (Earth). Each contributes to an individual's psychophysiologic makeup. As Ayurveda treats each individual as a whole, your dosha takes into account your skin profile, physical profile, and disposition. Once the specific constitution or "prakruti" is determined, any body imbalances that are found can be restored.

One treatment offered to help restore the natural balance of your body is Panchakarma Therapies. A regimen of exercise, diet and lifestyle changes is advised. Additionally, herbal food supplements are given to help aid in the thorough cleansing and detoxification of the body. These therapies, along with meditation and healthy food, help the body and mind restore balance and energy to the body.
