What is Ayurveda?
what is Ayurveda and how does it relate to beauty?
The Ayurvedic principles as they are practised in our salon encompass all physical, emotional and spiritual needs. They are both ancient and utterly modern – timeless principles which underpin our ability to recuperate, heal, and live life beautifully not just superficially but foundationally… truly vibrant for our entire life journey from the inside out.
Ayurveda is not about the genes we inherit, the visible cosmetic mask we wear, or our social standing. It is not about luck or heritage at all. Indeed, in many cultures beauty is at odds with our Western perceptions… tall, short, plump or finely boned – what makes a person beautiful or desirable is often merely a reflection of our cultural norms!
My friends, if I could tell you one thing about Ayurveda it would be this: nothing is in isolation. And everything on the surface is a result of our attention to nature. So it is that Ayurveda seeks to heal and renew that which exists for you now.
It should be said that whilst I absolutely respect the advice of medical professionals my culture and 25 year experience point me to immutable, timeless principles of health. Thus, if you are struggling with fatigue, hormonal or other imbalances, insomnia or bouts of low mood or depression – these and other conditions are all manifestations of a body out of balance (of which ill health results if left untreated by a medical professional).
