During an Ayurvedic consultation, the Doctor will typically start by asking you about your medical history, current symptoms, and lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. He reads your pulse, examines your tongue, and observes your physical appearance. It all contributes to gaining a deeper understanding of your unique constitution or Prakriti. The Vaidya will also find out if there is a current imbalance in your body. In Ayurvedic terms, this is called Vikriti. An imbalance does not always mean you have a disease but could lead to one if left unattended. In other words, Ayurveda has the potential to address imbalances before clinical symptoms arise, hence allowing for early intervention.

Based on this information, the Vaidya creates a customized treatment plan for you. The plan may include dietary and lifestyle recommendations, herbal remedies, Ayurvedic massages, or other body therapies. He might also suggest meditation or other stress-reducing practices. The goal of the Ayurvedic consultation is to help you achieve inner balance and harmony in your body, mind, and spirit. It empowers you to look after yourself in the best way possible, long after you have returned home. A consultation shows you potential problems and assists you in preventing or treating illnesses by addressing their underlying causes.

It’s important to note that an Ayurvedic consultation is a holistic approach to healthcare, and the focus is not just on treating symptoms. Rather it is promoting overall health and wellness in a broad sense. Additionally, it’s always recommended to consult with a licensed Ayurvedic practitioner who has undergone extensive training and certification in the field and who is also experienced in working with patients like our Dr. Karthik A.S.
