FAQS

Ayurveda is an ancient healing practice that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. While its therapies have evolved over time, the central focus on disease prevention and restoring balance within the body has remained constant.

In an Ayurvedic Consultation, we will conduct a thorough examination of various aspects of your being, including your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. You'll discuss your health history, daily routines, dietary habits, quality of sleep and digestion, any health concerns you may have, and other significant aspects of your life. Together, we’ll identify your specific mind/body constitution and any existing imbalances. Based on this assessment, we will create a detailed plan customized for you, aiming to restore balance and address your specific concerns using an Ayurvedic approach. The plan may involve recommendations for appropriate foods to eat and avoid, lifestyle practices, seasonal adjustments, herbal remedies, and sensory therapies like aromatherapy or chromotherapy.

Seeing an Ayurvedic Practitioner can be beneficial for various reasons. Ayurveda empowers individuals by providing a new perspective on their tendencies and lifestyle, offering practical tools for change and self-improvement. If other healing methods or medicines have been unsuccessful, Ayurveda can be an excellent alternative. Moreover, if you feel overwhelmed by numerous diet and lifestyle advice from the past, Ayurveda simplifies the approach, emphasizing food as medicine and preventive measures to promote lifelong health. Ayurveda seeks to restore your natural state of well-being and provides a holistic understanding of good health tailored to your unique needs.

The number of sessions required will depend on your individual imbalances and constitution. Our goal is to create an optimal healing environment for your body and support your successful integration of Ayurvedic practices into your life. As Ayurveda is a lifestyle-oriented approach, it takes time to feel comfortable and see the desired results. Typically, initial sessions may be weekly for 4-6 weeks, followed by reevaluation to adjust the frequency based on progress.

In Ayurveda, Doshas are essential elements that determine our constitution and play a crucial role in maintaining balance. The three Doshas are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, each representing specific qualities in the body. Understanding your Doshas allows you to make lifestyle choices that support your unique makeup and overall well-being.

While Ayurveda recognizes the significance of digestion and food in health, it encompasses more than just physical digestion. Digestion, in Ayurveda, involves all five senses—sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. Proper digestion of sensory experiences is vital for maintaining health, and Ayurveda examines these aspects to prevent imbalances and promote well-being.
