What can I expect from an Ayurvedic Consultation?
On Arrival:
When you arrive for your first ayurvedic consultation you will fill a form with your personal details, including the main reason you have come to see me, and your health concern. If you are not really sure why you have come (it does happen!), or don’t have any particular concerns, don’t worry, as after your assessment I can indicate to you your body’s specific needs.
The Ayurvedic Assessment:
This includes:
- A pulse diagnosis to assess the amplitude, rhythm, volume, temperature, movement and strength of your pulse. This will give information on your heart, endocrine system and cell function.
- Your eyes are checked to see their colour, shape, movement and shine. This will give me information on your liver, pancreas, gall bladder, brain function, absorption of iron and the accumulation of various types of ama (toxins, waste products) in your system.
- Tongue diagnosis is done to check the shape, surface texture, thickness, colour and coating. This will give me information on your pancreas, gall bladder, digestive tract function and any parasitic or bacterial infestation.
- Your breathing is observed to watch its rhythm (slow/fast, deep/shallow, long/short). The breath is checked to see its temperature, moisture and length of the flow. This will give me information on your stress levels, endurance, cellular stress.
- Your skin surface is felt to assess whether it is soft/dry, rough/smooth, cold/warm, clammy/moist or oily – giving information on mucus status, assimilation and any mineral and nutritional deficiency
- A physiognometry assessment* which involves face reading and a body shape assessment, will give me information on your stamina, temperament and behaviour.
- Palm reading*, which indicates to me any karmic/planetary influences on your health and their intensity.
- Your aura is assessed for colour and wavelength, which gives me information on your vital force.
Please note these assessments are done in the context of providing me information relevant to an Ayurvedic diagnosis. A complete Vedic palmistry or face reading assessment is available as a separate consultation.
Taking Your Patient History:
During and following your Ayurvedic assessment we will discuss your:
- Family medical history
- Current lifestyle and daily routines
- Current diet and eating habits
- Relationships
- Menstrual cycles and pregnancies (if female)
- Past experiences, to assist in understanding your temperament, tendency for recurrent sickness, lifestyle, your natural likes and dislikes etc.
Conclusion:
This complete assessment will help me determine:
- Your Prakruti (Your Unique Body Type). This indicates your true potential as you were meant to be when in balance. This will be Vata, Pitta, Kapha or any combination of the doshas.
- Your Vikruti (current health status and doshic imbalance).
- The future of your health (what can/may happen in 5, 10, 20 years).
- Appropriate Ayurvedic formulation(s) for your current health and imbalances
- Your customized lifestyle, diet and exercise program
- Any other treatments needed
The above procedure will be finished in 1 hour.
What benefits will I get from the consultation?
You will:
- have a better picture of your overall state of health: mental, spiritual, physical and emotional
- understand what foods and lifestyle choices are good or bad for you.
- understand your do’s and don’ts, and if something of your liking conflicts with your health, you will be advised on antidotes (what you can do) to minimise any adverse impacts
- feel more confident and less indecisive in following your path
- receive advice on relationships
- also be advised if you will need further help from other health practitioners or your GP
During your ayurvedic consultation any questions may be asked. Together we will create an easy-to follow step-by-step program to assist you with any of your problems. Firstly we will target the major problems so that you can continue to function as normally as possible in life, and later on we will do further treatments to assist with the underlying causes. The further we go into your program, you may decide to change your consultation type to a more specific consultation (eg. Relationship consultation, nutritional consultation etc.)
You might also find our other services useful (eg. palm reading, vedic astrology etc.).
Follow Up Consultations
Depending on your particular health concerns you may be advised to have a follow up ayurvedic consultation 2 – 4 weeks after your initial consultation. Your progress will be reviewed and further advise given based on this assessment. You may request a Standard, Extended or Short consultation, based on your needs and progress. Typically you would have a Standard 30 minute follow up, however if you have more questions or concerns you wish to discuss, then an Extended consultation may be more suitable. A Short consultation can be requested when you are continuing with the same preparations and advise and require a short progress review.
