Foster City, CA (PRWEB) July 26, 2011

Ayurveda, the science (Veda) of life (Ayus), is a part of the world’s oldest and most well-documented comprehensive health care system. According to Ayurveda, harmony at the level of the Body, Mind and Spirit is true health. Ayurveda emphasizes the individual rather than a disease. The concept of body constitution distinguishes Ayurveda from many other healing sciences.

Ayurvedic science is aimed at the preservation of health and prevention of disease by establishing balance and harmony through nutrition, herbs, meditation, and daily routines. Ayurvedic science provides knowledge to unfold the reality beyond the physical body and achieve harmony of Body, Mind and Spirit. The World Health Organization recognizes Ayurveda as a complete natural health care system.

There is a unique opportunity in this day and age to lead successful lives by assisting family, friends and clients in creating healthier bodies and lifestyles, thus eventually lowering health care costs.

Anna, age 32, and her husband decided on an integrative approach. Using a combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and a common fertility drug, clomid, they were able to conceive. “I’m not only expecting but now I have a better understanding of my own health.” Their baby is due in January.

Sarah, age 35, had been trying to start a family for years. As a last resort she decided to try acupuncture. With the help of TCM, she became pregnant and now has a healthy daughter. “I thought having a child was never going to happen. So, when I told my friend how Dr. Goldberg helped me get pregnant, she called him “The Baby Whisperer.”

Alex will be the guest speaker at an informational seminar “Here’s Why You’re Not Pregnant-9 Sneaky Causes of Infertility and How to Fix Them”

When: August 15th 6:30-9:30pm

Where: Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture

53 Prospect Park West (at 2nd St), Brooklyn, NY

?Our NCCAOM pass rates are consistently and substantially higher than the national average,? said Alissa Cohan, ACTCM?s Director of Communications. ?Clearly anyone wishing to pursue an education in acupuncture and Chinese medicine should consider ACTCM.

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 01, 2011

DevaCurl, a leader in curly hair care products, is celebrating a decade with Mist-er Right. To commemorate the anniversary, the company is releasing a limited edition of the popular lavender-infused curl revitalizer. Beginning this month, DevaCurl Mist-er Right 12-ounce bottles will be available with a beautiful artistic design, reminiscent of the original label artwork used when the product debuted in 2001.

DevaCurl Mist-er Right is a lightweight spray that rejuvenates curls and restores moisture to the hair. Recommended for all curl and hair types, DevaCurl Mist-er Right can be used between cleansing to naturally refresh curls and eliminate frizz without the dehydrating effects of a dry shampoo.

DevaCurl co-founder and the Original Curly Girl, Lorraine Massey, developed the versatile styling product originally known as ?Lavender Herbal Hair Tonic? for her curly clients at the renowned Devachan salons in New York. DevaCurl Mist-er Right was later launched as part of the award-winning DevaCurl curl care collection.

?Early in my life and career, I became certain bubbly, sudsing, lathering and alcohol-based products were drying out my curls and those of my clients,? said Ms. Massey. ?After taking a course in advanced herbology, I discovered lavender with its gentle cleansing and healing properties, was the answer.? She added, ?Combined with other essential oils, including rosemary, lemongrass and chamomile, DevaCurl Mist-er Right is a ?natural? for refreshing and deodorizing moisture deprived hair without the harsh effects of detergents and alcohol.?

DevaCurl Mist-er Right is available while supplies last at select professional salons in the United States and Canada. Visit http://www.mydevacurl.com for locations or more information.

Holistic Treatment Company, Marin Ayurveda, Announces Panchakarma Season

Marin, CA (PRWEB) September 03, 2011

Marin Ayurveda, a holistic treatment company, is announcing panchakarma season this fall, and then again in the spring of 2012. To support everyone’s health and well-being Marin Ayurveda offers a 10 percent discount on any of its panchakarma packages in the fall.

?Panchakarma is typically done in spring and fall, since these are the transitional times of year. The body is adapting to changing temperatures and natural circumstances at those times, which offers an opportunity to let go of a seasonal imbalance and to start the new season healthy and strong,? said Simone de Winter of Marin Ayurveda.

Panchakarma season runs from September through early November at Marin Ayurveda. Panchakarma is an Ayurvedic detox/cleansing process that is used to remove excess toxins from the body?s tissues and to restore energy flow throughout the whole body.

Beside its benefits for physical health, Panchakarma can also help eliminate mental and emotional toxins to achieve well-being and balance in life. In the fall, panchakarma will release heat that was built up during the summer and which expresses itself in feeling overheated, having skin rashes, headaches, liver problems, fevers, and infections. In the spring, panchakarma focuses on eliminating excess, that has built up over the cold and stagnant winter, which expresses itself as weight gain, buildup of mucus, sluggishness, tiredness, or any kind of excess condition or congestion in the body.

Panchakarma packages are three, five, or seven days long, excluding the preparation phase before and rejuvenation phase afterwards, that are both included in the cost of the panchakarma. Panchakarma offers support for life?s changes, brings balance to physical, and/or mental-motional imbalances, and is a wonderful, nourishing way to maintain good health.

For more information about Marin Ayurveda?s Panchakarma treatments, call (415) 847-3780 or visit http://www.marinayurveda.com/.

Larkspur, CA (PRWEB) September 29, 2011

Marin Ayurveda understands that life can be very stressful at times, and offers remedies which can be especially helpful at easing that stress. Alternative medicine, like Ayurveda offers lifestyle consultation, massage therapy, hot oil treatments, yoga and meditation, and can positively affect a person?s life. Marin Ayurveda is offering 15 percent off on all first appointments.

Receiving Ayurvedic massage treatments regularly, or even just once in a while, will correct some of the damage done by excess stress. People will have a much easier time focusing on their work or studies and will experience more ease and wellbeing, when adopting a supportive daily routine, as outlined in an Ayurvedic consultation.

?I have just begun a new lifestyle: Ayurveda. With the extremely kind and thoughtful guidance of Simone de Winter at Marin Ayurveda, I have finally found the help I have needed for a very long time. I really get the feeling that I am cared for as a person, not just a client. Simone is great, with kind attention to detail,? said Lee of San Geronimo, CA.

Stress is not just uncomfortable, its effects can cause serious imbalance in the body. Deep relaxation and rejuvenation will help to turn this around. Ayurveda has a long tradition of restoring balance in the body/mind through rejuvenating hot oil treatments, such as abhyangha (hot herbal oil massage), shirodhara (pouring of warm oil on the third eye and forehead), and basti (localized warm oil or ghee treatment for tired, stressed out, injured parts of the body). These treatments will help keep the body relaxed and rejuvenated. To maintain a healthy body and mind, a consultation with Marin Ayurveda will teach about a supportive daily routine that can buffer the stress of everyday life to ensure a healthy and positive attitude towards everyday activities.
