Fibromyalgia Healer Kit
Fibromyalgia Healer Kit
Fibromyalgia commonly presents as muscle pain, stiffness and tenderness throughout the body. The patient usually does not know the cause of the pain and has often tried many things to alleviate their symptoms. The Ayurvedic approach to fibromyalgia is very specific and scientific. First, Ayurveda counts fibromyalgia as an imbalance, not a disease. Imbalance means a disorder of energy within the body and mind. Ayurveda gives hope to sufferers of fibromyalgia as it shows that the condition is treatable and manageable with Ayurvedic treatment, diet and lifestyle.
Why This Fibromyalgia Healer Kit-
According to Ayurveda, fibromyalgia is an imbalanced state of vata energy. The physiological principle at the basis of nervous system stability and activation is called Vata. A state of vata imbalance means the pitta (metabolism) and kapha (immunity) are also thrown out of balance. this kit helps in the removal of toxins (ama), clears the all srotas , and balances vata thus relieving pain.
