Ayurveda compliments Allopathic Medicine (Western medicine) and other health modalities.

If you are taking Allopathic medicine which generally suppresses the symptoms of the disease, Ayurvedic Medicine can compliment the process by treating the root cause of the disease. This will assist in detoxifying the system, strengthening the metabolism, building the immune system and off setting any side effects. We are very happy to work side by side with your Doctor. If you are seeing any other health practitioners please let us know what you are doing such as treatments, dietary, herbs etc so we can take into account when putting together your treatment plan.

The definition of health according to Ayurveda

"The person who has balanced Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), balanced digestive fire, normal functioning of the 7 bodily tissues, proper elimination of the 3 wastes (faeces, urine, sweat), correct functioning of the senses and mind,

and who is happy, is known as being healthy"

(Sushruta sutra sthana .5th-15/45).
