By combining the unique therapies of Ayurveda with Acupuncture and Naturopathy to create an individualized treatment program to achieve the optimum healing benefits especially in chronic conditions. The root cause of illness is determined to help the body regain its balance and allow the body to heal itself. Imbalances can be detected before the manifestation of illness, therefore Ayurveda is an effective prevention program as well. We offer Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Acupuncture, Colonic Irrigation, Clinical Nutrition, Constitutional Hydrotherapy, Homeopathy, Botanical medicine, Life Style Counseling Panchkarma -- the ultimate detoxification program and Physical medicine. Therapies/ herbs are selected based on individual's body-type which are determined after examining one's pulse, tongue and iridology.
