We take a closer look at the definition of health to find something much more deeper than the absence of disease. It is the comfort that you want to acquire in your mind and in your body.
Identify your prakriti as vata, pitta, or kapha through a brief birth constitution analysis of body frame, features, hair, eyes, and nails, then balance current imbalances.
Identify your primary vikriti and design an ideal schedule that prioritizes regular eating and sleeping times to balance your doshas (vata, pitta, kapha) through routine.
Improve sleep quality by avoiding a full belly before bed and minimizing artificial light after sunset. Guide circadian rhythms by controlling light exposure to eyes, supporting melatonin and adenosine production.
Explore how different foods digest at different rates and why this matters for digestion, with an overview page on food combinations to avoid.
Learn why cleansing replaces fasting in Ayurveda, and how toxins are purified from the seven dhatus—from plasma to bone marrow and vital fluids—through easily digestible foods.
Explore complementary cleansing practices with abhyanga oil massage and tailored exercise, plus tongue scraping to support toxin elimination from tissues, sweating daily, and balancing the doshas.
Balance the vata first to restore internal communication, then support pitta's digestive fire and kapha balance through routine and appropriate foods, ensuring smooth digestion and metabolism.
Analyze the tongue as a mirror of the trunk to map organs and dosha balance. Link tongue regions to heart, lungs, stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen, intestines, and kidneys.
