Introduction

Contrary to western medicine, Ayurveda doesn’t revolve only around the illness and its symptoms. It takes the whole individual constitution into consideration.

The illness is the consequence of the imbalance of one or several elements of the trinity: the body, the mind, and the spiritual consciousness.

The ill-health will emerge through some body channels so as to strike and progressively weaken several of the seven tissues which compose it (plasma, blood, muscles, adipose tissues, bones, bone marrow, reproductive system).

The ayurvedic philosophy rests upon prevention.

The treatments are based on body massages, Indian plant therapy, a healthy diet with spices, body workout and breathing exercise.
