I treat the individual, not only the disease, with an individualized approach specifically designed to meet your needs. With combination of Ayurvedic supplements and Naturopathy, life style changes and dietary recommendations we can bring harmony and balance in your health. Environmental toxicity and other toxins, imbalanced diet, unhealthy life style and other internal or external factors can suppress the immunity resulting in imbalance in internal harmony. This causes dis-ease (disease) state in the physical body. Ayurveda brings harmony/balance by using a personalized combination of herbs and therapies to match your body-type or dosha.
