What Makes Yatan Different
Plenty of Sydney clinics offer Ayurvedic-style services. Here's what genuinely distinguishes Yatan.
Custom-Prepared Herbal Remedies
Most clinics dispense pre-made retail formulations. Yatan prepares your herbal medicine specifically for your dosha, current imbalances (Vikriti), and the conditions you're addressing. Same condition in two patients gets different formulations.
30+ Years of Continuous Clinical Practice
Raman Das has practised Ayurveda continuously since the 1990s — initially in Nepal where Ayurveda is part of integrated traditional medicine, then in Sydney since 2000. This depth of practical experience is rare in Australian Ayurveda.
Author of Two Ayurvedic Yoga Books
YATAN Yoga and YATAN Yoga Therapy — published instructional manuals integrating yoga with Ayurvedic principles. The fact that the practitioner has written books on the subject anchors the depth of knowledge.
ATMS Fellow Status
The Australian Traditional-Medicine Society's Fellow tier is reserved for practitioners with extensive clinical experience and ongoing professional development. Not all practitioners hold this status.
Combined Ayurveda + Yoga Therapy
Many practitioners offer either Ayurveda or yoga. Yatan delivers both as an integrated practice — the YATAN acronym (Yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra, Astrology, Nature) reflects this. Yoga prescriptions complement Ayurvedic herbs in every treatment plan.

FAQs About Your Ayurvedic Treatment
Ayurvedic medicine, originating from India, is one of the oldest traditional medicine systems, with a history that spans over 5,000 years.
The term “Ayurveda” is derived from the Sanskrit words ayus, meaning “life,” and veda, meaning “knowledge” or “science,” thus translating to “the science of life” or “knowledge of life.”
Ayurveda is founded on several core principles that emphasise a holistic approach to health, integrating the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of well-being.
The main principles include:
- Balance of the Doshas
- A Holistic Perspective
- Individual Constitution (Prakriti)
- Prevention and Self-Healing
- Five Elements (Pancha Mahabhuta)
- The Importance of Agni (Digestive Fire)
- Detoxification (Panchakarma)
These principles not only guide Ayurvedic treatment but also empower you to understand your dosha type. By doing so, you can live more in harmony with your environment, and daily and seasonal rhythms, making lifestyle choices that foster a greater sense of control over your health.
For more information, read our in-depth description about Ayurveda.
Ayurvedic treatments aim to restore an individual’s health by addressing the root causes of ailments, which are primarily linked to imbalances in the body’s fundamental energies, known as doshas, as well as improper lifestyle choices and external factors.
Treatments focus on internal cleansing, eliminating toxins (known as ama), and restoring the body’s innate dosha balance to strengthen its ability to heal itself.
Ayurvedic practitioners assess your unique constitution (Prakriti) and current imbalances (Vikriti) to create personalized treatment plans that may include dietary changes, Ayurvedic herbal preparations, therapeutic massages, detoxifying techniques, yoga, lifestyle modifications, and specific therapies tailored to individual needs.
At the Yatan Centre, Raman Das offers Ayurvedic treatments to help address a wide range of health concerns, including:
- Chronic pain and inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, and fibromyalgia
- Hormonal and reproductive health issues, including painful menstruation, menopausal symptoms, PCOS, erectile dysfunction (ED), and prostate problems for men
- Digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic constipation, fatty liver, acid reflux, haemorrhoids, and bloating
- Respiratory conditions, ranging from hay fever and sinusitis to coughs, colds, and asthma
- Skin and hair conditions, including psoriasis, acne, eczema, and vitiligo
- Maintaining healthy blood pressure and blood glucose levels
Most health concerns can benefit from Ayurvedic herbal remedies, dietary changes, oil massage, detoxification therapies, gentle yoga, and other lifestyle modifications. These approaches can help provide relief and improve overall quality of life.
Ayurvedic treatments and herbal remedies, when prescribed and administered by experienced practitioners, are typically well-tolerated.
Occasionally if mild discomfort or nausea occurs as your body adjusts, you can ease these symptoms by consuming certain foods or juice after taking the herbs, or by adjusting your dosage as advised.
Discomfort often stems from weak digestion or the accumulation of ama, and Ayurveda focuses on strengthening digestion along with restoring balance.
Ayurvedic medicine can work alongside conventional medical treatments.
It is important, though, to inform both your Ayurvedic practitioner and your primary healthcare provider about all the treatments and medications you are taking to ensure their safe and effective combination. This transparency helps ensure a safer and more effective treatment plan.
The timing for visible results varies according to the individual’s condition, overall health, and commitment to the prescribed Ayurvedic regimen.
Some may observe noticeable improvements relatively quickly, within a few weeks, whereas chronic conditions may demand longer and more consistent efforts for enduring benefits.
Over time you can expect noticeable changes in symptoms and improvements in your physical and emotional well-being. With each consultation, you’ll progressively feel better—experiencing reduced symptoms, increased energy, and enhanced skin texture for a healthier appearance.
Panchakarma is the cornerstone of Ayurvedic detoxification, consisting of therapeutic procedures aimed at eliminating toxins (ama) from the body and rejuvenating overall health.
Panchakarma treatment may include:
- Abhyanga (massage with Ayurvedic oils) to soften tissues and mobilise toxins
- herbal steam therapy that open pores, enhances circulation and prepares the body for deeper cleansing
- Basti (herbal decoction enema) – targeting Vata dosha
- Virechana (purgation with Ayurvedic herbal laxatives) – targeting Pitta dosha
- Shirodhara – warm Ayurvedic oil stream to Ajna Marma (third-eye chakra) for mental cleansing and stress reduction
Dietary adjustments, Ayurvedic herbal remedies with specific detoxifying properties, yoga and pranayama can all be used to enhance the detoxification process.
