Philosophy
How Do We
Get Sick?
Ayurveda holds that specific disease
conditions are symptoms of an underlying imbalance. It does not neglect relief of these
symptoms, but its main focus is on the big picture: to restore balance and to help you
create such a healthy lifestyle that the imbalance won't occur again.
Living in health and balance is the key to
a long life free from disease.
Perhaps the most important lesson Ayurveda
has to teach is that our health is up to us. Every day of our lives, every hour of every
day, we can, and do, choose either health or illness. When we choose wisely,
nature
rewards us with health and happiness. When we persistently choose unwisely, nature, in her
wisdom, eventually sets us straight: She makes us sick and gives us a chance to rest and
rethink our choices.
