Ayurvedic Practices for Winter

Ayurveda*, “the Science of Life and Longevity”, is a holistic system of medicine that originated on the Indian subcontinent over 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda believes that health imbalances stem from disharmony with nature’s rhythms. Therefore, Ayurveda’s main tools for finding and maintaining harmonious health are lifestyle and nutrition practices based on the season.
