Area of Expertise
Women’s Health:
At Yatan Holistic Ayurvedic Centre, we acknowledge the intricate nature of a woman’s body, a system that undergoes countless transformations requiring personalised care when addressing any ailments or imbalances. Ayurveda recognizes each woman’s physique as a distinct entity, taking into account all environmental, social, emotional, and other influences in a holistic manner. This comprehensive perspective forms the bedrock of our Ayurvedic customised treatment plans for women.
Menopause Relief:
Menopause marks the end of the reproductive cycle, and many women struggle with unpleasant symptoms of menopause that hamper their day-to-day routine. However, when you visit Yatan Holistic Ayurvedic Centre, rest assured that your menopause treatment plan is crafted with meticulous attention to your unique dietary habits and lifestyle elements. Our approach integrates the use of specific herbal combinations and tailored dietary advice for menopause to rejuvenate the female reproductive system. We aim to regulate hormonal fluctuations by incorporating easy exercise routines and breathing techniques. All these components work harmoniously to open up the body’s channels, enhancing the transport of nutrients and hormones throughout the system.
Arthritis Treatment:
Ayurveda looks at arthritis as the manifestation of an excess of waste, termed ama, resulting from a diminished digestive fire, or agni. Put simply, inefficient digestion leads to a build-up of undigested food and subsequently, the accumulation of toxic waste. If the colon is weak, these toxins can find their way to the joints. Our fundamental Ayurvedic approach for treating this condition pivots around extracting this waste from the joints and redirecting it back to the colon. Once there, it can be safely and effectively eliminated from the body.
Asthma Treatment:
In Ayurveda, the treatment of asthma is highly personalised, focusing primarily on three key areas: the gut, liver, and lungs. Intriguingly, asthma’s origin is not in the lungs, as one might expect, but rather in the digestive system. A lack of daily routine and improper eating habits are significant contributors to this condition. Ayurvedic treatment can address these internal issues, offering a comprehensive path towards well-being.
Sinusitis Treatment:
Sinusitis is a major health issue affecting many Australians, with the obstruction of nasal passages hinging on a blend of internal and external factors. When you visit our Ayurvedic Centre, our proficient Ayurvedic practitioner diligently assesses your symptoms, identifies conditions that exacerbate your sinusitis, and thoroughly reviews your medical history. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to craft an effective, individualised Ayurvedic treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Dental Care:
In Ayurveda, the dominant dosha plays a crucial role in determining your dental health. Accordingly, we can ascertain whether your dental issues are related to Vata or Pitta imbalances, and then prepare a bespoke plan to optimise your oral health. As part of our approach, we provide our Yatan Dental Kit for sustained benefits.
Weight Loss Program:
Embrace Yatan’s Weight Loss Program, a journey deeply rooted in Ayurvedic principles. Gain insights into how your unique dosha influences your body’s propensity to accumulate unwanted weight. The weight loss program is a holistic approach that targets not only weight reduction but also improves digestion and alters the pathways of fat accumulation, leading to overall health improvement.
