		<description><![CDATA[Cold and flu got you down?  Turn to your Ayurvedic medicine cabinet to help you kick those flu blues.’


According to Ayurvedic medicine, the common cold results largely from an imbalance of the  Kapha and Vata doshas. Vata (air-space element combination) imbalances lower immunity.  This invariably leads to a build up of the Kapha dosha (water-space element combination) to compensate. However, Kapha mechanisms typically overcompensate to make up for the ‘dryness’ associated with imbalanced Vata and lowered immunity. The result is excessive ‘coldness’ that creates mucus. This in turn reduces your ‘Agni’  or gastric fire, leading you to have the ‘chills.’

		<description><![CDATA[As much as people might recognize that Ayurveda is an ancient medicine from India and that it enhances positive health, most do not realize how intricately it is connected to sustainability.

Translated from Sanskrit as The Science of Life, Ayurveda is probably one of the oldest known systems of sustainable living. Given that it enhances longevity goes to show how important sustainability is...not just as a marketing or lifestyle trend but as a method of achieving long term health.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people ask me about Ayurveda - how it is applicable to modern life...is it applicable at all?  While it might be hard to fathom how a system of medicine 5,000 years old can apply to us today, as an Ayurvedic traditionalist, I find comfort in knowing that although we have evolved as a race, our basic health needs and wants have not changed drastically over the course of civilization.  And trherein lies the healing power of Ayurveda. I refer to it as a wisdom practice because its tried and tested methods have been passed down the ages as healing wisdom.

		<description><![CDATA[Ayurveda is an ancient holistic health science from India.  Sanskrit for "the Science of Life," it is a set of self-care guidelines that will help you stay healthy by connecting the power of your mind with the physical health of your body.  The term ‘medicine’ is considered limiting in the context of this life science, as it suggests healing only as a result of predetermined illness.  Ayurveda, however, is a complete system that addresses the prevention of illness in addition to providing a systematic approach for diagnosing and treating negative health issues.
