Frequently Asked Questions

What does an Ayurvedic Consultation entail?

During the consultation an Ayurvedic pulse assessment is done, and if need be, a physical examination is undertaken. Thereafter a treatment plan is advised. This may include some changes to your diet, suggestions regarding life style, personalised breathing exercises, Ayurvedic therapies & medication.

How does an Ayurvedic doctor arrive at a diagnosis?

Amongst other elements, an Ayurvedic doctor concentrates on characteristics, symptoms, habits such as appetite, diet, digestion, climate preference, voice, physical strength, endurance, the nature of sleep, dreams, sexual drive, the nature of emotions, personality traits, mode of expression, memory and lifestyle. This helps the Ayurvedic doctor understand a person as a whole. During this process Dr Naina discovers the root causes of the patient’s problems and other associated symptoms.

How does Ayurveda explain the relationship between body, soul and mind?

Nobody teaches sugar to rise, weight to increase, coronary to block, hemiplegic to happen, skin diseases to erupt, thoughts to devastate, mind to sway around; no disease happens by itself. We create them and Ayurveda teaches us how to be healthy…

Basically, Ayurvedic treatments are a journey into the inner-self that enable one to discover one’s own healing forces and realize the joyous nature of the inner-mind: the soul and the complete inner-self. It is very individual-specific and is a self-promoted and a self-committed type of treatment.

What is the aim of the Ayurvedic doctor?

It is the aim of the Ayurvedic doctor to guide each patient on his or her personal spiritual and philosophical path. This means that an Ayurvedic treatment is by definition intensely personal, and consequently, the strictest confidence is a feature of the doctor-patient relationship.

How does Ayurveda differ from western (allopathic) medicine?

Ayurvedic treatments are based on the principle of treating the root cause. It is a time-tested fact that the process of disease starts in the aura of a human being. This process is aggravated by not following healthy lifestyle patterns. As a result, toxins are produced in the body. Our body, by nature, tries to get rid of these toxins. This defensive act of the body is considered to be disease. Modern science tries to suppress the symptoms rather than to attend to the root cause.

Should I continue with other medicines when undergoing Ayurvedic treatments?

All medicines and treatment advised by your medical doctor may be continued. Ayurvedic medicines are pure, natural and herbal and produced from ordinary plant sources. They do not have side effects and can be taken in conjunction with other medication without ill-effect. In some cases, some medicines may be reduced under your doctor’s guidance.
