At Amrut Ayurved, we take a holistic approach to treating our patients. We know that there are as many different types of bodies (Prakriti) and mind as there are people and nobody is exactly like the other even if other similarities exist. Your body, mind, and soul are all interconnected and if the body is in pain, the mind and spirit react and vice versa.
