Overview of
Ayurvedic Treatments
Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medicine system, offers an extensive range of treatment methods and therapies that can be recommended to patients. This holistic approach to healing focuses on the core principles of health and wellness. One of the fundamental tenets of Ayurvedic treatment is diet and nutrition.
Diet and Nutrition
Dietary and nutritional practices are vital to healthy living and food is used as treatment as an important component of every Ayurvedic treatment plan. Dietary practices are tailored to each individual’s constitution and taking into account their cultural background as well as climate. You will be given a diet sheet during your consultation that details which foods to avoid and the specific foods, which support the body’s natural healing processes. The diet is carefully tailored to allow you to eat as much of the foods you like in a way that nourishes your body. For example, if you are a fish lover, we will advise you which fish you can eat and the best way to eat it in combination with other foods rather than avoiding all fish. We don’t advocate extreme eating regimes, rather intelligent and intuitive eating which allows your existing preferences.
Ayurvedic Herbal Products
The topic of Ayurvedic herbal products is an interesting one that is deeply rooted in history. This ancient practice has been recognized and used for ages as a primary treatment method. Ayurvedic herbal products are known to be precise in their application, and their effectiveness can be attributed to the deep knowledge of plants and their effect on human physiology, biochemistry, and psychology.
To properly understand the action and effect of each herb, multiple factors come into play, such as their taste, attribute, active potency, post-digestive effect, and special quality. The importance of proper administration of these herbs cannot be overstated. Contrary to the popular belief that herbs are benign and have no side effects, Ayurveda recognizes the potential side effects of these plants. Therefore, it is critical to appropriately use Ayurvedic herbal products and to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who possesses a deep understanding of this ancient science.
