A: Is for Ayurveda

In a time when health care is on the minds of most Americans. When drug companies no longer seem safe and are called into question, alternative medicines and practices don’t seem so impractical. For over 5000 years Ayurveda has existed in India and is successfully practiced in many countries all over the world, yet there are less than a handful of practitioners in America. New Yorkers are lucky, as Vasudha Gupta and her husband started American Ayuveda located at 62 W 47th St. Suite 1506 just off 6th Ave. Vasudha is a quite spoken women who radiates energy and calmness. “Knowing your own body type, is a way of staying healthy and balanced. Ayurveda is a way of life.” Vasudha’s clients include infertility cases, people with skin disorders, weight management, arthritis, Post chemo patients, Crohn's diseases, IBS, Fibroids, PMS and Auto Immune diseases. “Forget Viagra, when your body is in a state of wellness everything else falls into place. By eliminating the root cause of illnesses and keeping ourselves fit, by following a dietary and lifestyle, as per ayurvedic recommendations, one can live longer and healthier.” Ayurveda, has five elements (earth, water, fire, air and ether), these make up three primary Doshas. Vata, pitta and kapha. When a body is out of balance it is because one or more of these doshas has been aggravated. Think of the entire universe as well as the body as a single concept, we all consist of earth, water, fire, air and ether. When one of those elements is out of balance, the earth reacts with a natural disaster. Our bodies react much in the same way. The good news is we all have the power to heal. When seeing Vasudha she used the pulse as a form of diagnosis. From there she can tell you your dosha and the food and life style for you and customized formulations that she make according to the body type. I was diagnosed and found her to be so faultless in her prognosis, that I followed her recommendations. I have already lost a significant amount of weight, gained energy and am no longer achy all over. Unlike a regular doctor, she is affordable at $150 a visit. For the first 3-4 months you need to see her once a month, but after that it is every two months. When you add up the cost $1050 a year to stay healthy is affordable, natural and less than insurance for a doctor you can’t even pick. You can reach her at 212-202-0225 and learn more at www.americanayurveda.us. Natural health can be yours and that is a F.A.C.T.
