Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a Mind-Body medicine approach which originated in Ancient India over 5000 years ago. It defines true health in sanskrit as "Sama dosha, sama dhatu, sama mala kriyaha, sama agnischa; Prasanna atmendriyra mana swastha iti abhiyeti," which means that good health constitutes the complete balance and equilibrium in all the systems in the body, a happy and peaceful state of our body, mind and soul.

Ayurvedic therapies help in creating a harmony in our physiology through healthy diet and lifestyle, yogic exercises and natural herbs.  For those patients who want to include an Ayurvedic approach to their health journey we have a few non-MD practitioners we trust and refer to depending on your location, including Chetna Center in our San Ramon office suite.
