Ayurveda in the Isle of Man

Ayurvedic Medicine originated in India and is a system of traditional Indian medicine now practiced widely in the West. The basic philosophy of Ayurveda is that that in order to maintain good health it is important for each person to maintain his or her original nature or prakriti. The state of natural balance will be maintained and restored at a physical, spiritual and psychological level by eating foods and performing activities that are in harmony with our nature. The therapy encompasses a range of treatments which may include herbal medicine, massage, Yoga and dietary change to maintain and restore health and wellbeing. Ayurvedic doctors/practitioners therefore work with patients with a wide range of conditions.
