KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Ayurveda is a whole body approach that looks at complete physical, mental and social development.
• The idea of Ayurveda is that it is a disease that occurs in the body because of an imbalance of the body’s energy. In ayurvedic medicine, there are three energy types. Knowing your energy type helps to restore balance to the body. 
• Ayurveda helps you to understand the specifics of your body. It will tell you the best time to wake up, what time to eat, what diet to eat, what type of exercise is best for you, and what occupation will meet your needs best.
