Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that focuses on lifestyle and nutrition as the keys to health. This system encourages our participation in our own care and well-being through choices we make regarding how we live, eat, move, sleep, and interact in the world. Ayurvedic philosophy suggests that we all have a unique combination of influences, called doshas, that are formed at the time of our conception. It is when this combination is pulled out of balance that we experience dis-ease and a disruption in overall health and happiness.

Ayurveda incorporates the uses of spices and herbs when cooking to
allow the kitchen to become our medicine chest. Happily, this results
in food that is nourishing, allows for healthy digestion, and is full of flavor!
