For some diseases, a conventional medical approach is still the best option. However, for many chronic, immunological, hormonal, neurologic, and age-related conditions a time-honored form of natural medicine may be a better alternative. Āyurvedic medicine, the 3500-year-old holistic medical tradition of ancient India does more than just treat symptoms. An experienced Āyurvedic physician can often identify the root causes of imbalance and illness in each individual and guide you and your family into a few simple changes such as an individualized diet, herbs, exercise, yoga, meditation, detoxification, massage, acupuncture, and many other modalities to enhance health and prevent disease.

Frequently, the integration of both Āyurveda and conventional medicine yields the best results, which is why GIAM (est. 1989) is the most sought-after Center in the nation for people desiring an effective natural yet rational, science-based approach to their health concerns for over 30 years. Panchakarma therapies are the centerpiece of the Āyurvedic approach to cure and prevention.
