Ayurveda translated as the Science of Life and Longevity is the traditional medicine of India which shares a connection with yoga as a related discipline.   Ayurveda's unique approach to health is one of understanding your individual mind and body makeup called Dosha.  The three  Doshas of Ayurvedic practice, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha have particular qualities or attributes which characterize their effects on the human body. People remain healthy as long as the Doshas are in a state of balance or equilibrium within the body. Once this has been determined, appropriate therapies, detoxification and lifestyle recommendations  are given to bring your system to a natural state of balance.   In addition to his acupuncture skills, Vishal is a Certified Ayurvedic Practioner and studied  aspects of Ayurveda in India itself.
