The philosophy of Ayurvedic medicine contends that the body, mind and soul are connected to the outer world. When the relationship among these elements of one’s personality is out of balance, health problems arise. The practice has evolved in recent years to treat such modern health concerns as addiction, work stress, weight loss and infertility. http://ayurvedic-dr.com/what-is-ayurveda/

Ayurveda emphasizes prevention of disease, rejuvenation of our body systems, and extension of life span. The profound premise and promise of Ayurveda is that through certain practices, not only can we prevent heart disease and make our headaches go away, but we can also better understand ourselves and the world around us, live a long healthy life in balance and harmony, achieve our fullest potential, and express our true inner nature on a daily basis. http://ayurvedic-dr.com/about-dr-phil-lichtenfeld-md-los-a/

De-stress and reclaim youthful skin and body. To dissolve mental and emotional stress on a daily basis, practice the Transcendental Meditation program. For mental stress ask your physician about anxiety reducing teas, aromas and herbals. For emotional stress ask your physician about herbals that support balanced emotions and do deep, easy breathing exercises such as pranayama. Ask your physician about herbals supporting deep thorough sleep, for the most restful, beauty-enhancing sleep. http://ayurvedic-dr.com/ayurveda-youthful-skin-and-beauty-/
