Melanie Flegler - Practice for Ayurveda & Complementary Medicine

Ayurveda, the "Knowledge of Life," stands as one of the oldest medical systems in the world. It perceives humans as a unity of body, mind, and soul. The individual constitution is determined by the five elements and remains constant throughout life but can be influenced by various life stages. The theory of doshas describes the environmental conditions in the body and their changes due to internal and external influences. Diagnostics in Ayurveda involve precise observation of the person and their physical and mental conditions. Therapy aims to balance the disrupted environment, often through dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, and various treatment techniques such as massages and herbal preparations.
