People with the winter blues, sometimes knowns as seasonal depression, experience mood changes during the fall and winter months, with the most difficult months for people being January and February. The winter blues have been linked to a biochemical imbalance caused by shorter days and less intense sunlight. As seasons change, people experience a shift in their internal clock that can cause them to be out of step with their daily schedule and flow of their life.

In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “The Science of Life” and teaches us that we each have a specific elemental makeup that is unique. We are perfect in our own way and suffering occurs when we forget this important truth. Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be one of the oldest healing science and is the sister science of Yoga. Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and many of the healing systems familiar in the West have their roots in Ayurveda.
