Erica’s passion for yoga and Ayurveda began 20 years ago.

Ayurveda medicine is an ancient system of healing that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It is a holistic approach to health that focuses on balancing the body, mind, and spirit through various ayurveda treatments and the use of ayurvedic products. The practice of ayurveda has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in British Columbia and the Okanagan region, where many people in Kelowna seek out these natural and alternative forms of medicine.
One of the most popular ayurveda treatments is the use of herbs and spices to promote healing and balance in the body. Ayurvedic practitioners may recommend the use of turmeric for inflammation, ginger for digestion, and ashwagandha for stress relief. These herbs can be taken in supplement form or used in cooking to incorporate them into one's daily routine.
Another popular ayurveda treatment is Abhyanga, a warm oil massage that helps to nourish and balance the body. This treatment is often used to alleviate stress and tension, improve circulation, and promote overall wellness. Ayurvedic practitioners may also use other forms of massage therapy such as Shirodhara and Pinda Sweda.
In addition to these treatments, ayurvedic products are available to support overall health and well-being. These include herbal supplements, teas, and skincare products. Many can be found at local health food stores and wellness centers in Kelowna and throughout BC.
It's worth noting that Ayurveda medicine is not intended to replace conventional medicine, but rather to supplement and complement it. It's important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any new treatment or supplement.
Overall, ayurveda medicine offers a natural and holistic approach to health and wellness. With its growing popularity in British Columbia and the Okanagan region, specifically Kelowna, it's becoming more accessible for people to incorporate these practices and products into their daily lives.
