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 lifestyle, personalised breathing exercises, Ayurvedic therapies & medication.
How does an Ayurvedic doctor arrive at a diagnosis?
An Ayurvedic doctor examines characteristics such as appetite, diet, digestion, climate preference, sleep, emotions, personality traits, and lifestyle. This helps the doctor understand the patient as a whole and discover the root causes of problems.
How does Ayurveda explain the relationship between body, soul, and mind?
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.
What is the aim of the Ayurvedic doctor?
The aim of the Ayurvedic doctor is to guide each patient on their personal spiritual and philosophical path. Ayurvedic treatment is intensely personal and maintains the strictest doctor-patient confidentiality.
How does Ayurveda differ from Western (Allopathic) medicine?
Ayurvedic treatments focus on treating the root cause of disease rather than suppressing symptoms. Ayurveda believes disease starts in the aura and is aggravated by unhealthy lifestyle patterns, leading to toxin accumulation in the body.
Should I continue with other medicines when undergoing Ayurvedic treatments?
Yes, Ayurvedic medicines are natural and herbal and can be taken alongside other medications. Some medicines may be reduced under your doctor’s guidance.
Can I book a massage directly?
Yes, but since we are a therapeutic health centre, the first treatment lasts 2-2.5 hours, including a consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor to determine the appropriate herbs and oils.
