In India, Ayurveda is considered a form of medical care, equal to conventional Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, naturopathic medicine, and homeopathic medicine. The Sanskrit term Ayurveda translates to “knowledge of life,” and the principles of this ancient wisdom remind us that the entire web of life is intricately interwoven. With a unique emphasis on total wellness, the art and science of Ayurveda work to harmonize our internal and external worlds.

​Ayurvedic practitioners are well trained in this approach to holistic health. Nicole Zornitzer, Certified Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant, C.A.L.C, and founder of Niyama Yoga Shala, welcomes clients privately for Vedic Counseling.  States Zornitzer, “Ayurveda encourages certain lifestyle interventions and natural therapies to regain a balance between the body, mind, spirit, and the environment.”

In an Ayurvedic counseling session, one can expect creation of a wellness plan that incorporates evaluation of body type (dosha) and appropriate diet and lifestyle recommendations, such as herbal remedies, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation, to encourage a state of balance in the mind, body and spirit. The goal is to introduce the person to the idea of eliminating impurities, reducing symptoms, increasing resistance to disease, reducing worry, and increasing harmony in life.
