Ayurveda Health and Wellness

In certain conditions, Ayurveda serves as a complementary therapy, working alongside conventional medical treatments such as chemical medications and hospital care.

• Cancer: Ayurveda can provide supportive care at various stages of cancer. Dietary and lifestyle advice helps enhance the quality of life for patients.
• Surgery: Ayurvedic pre-operative preparation and post-operative care promote faster recovery and help reduce the side effects of anesthesia and painkillers.
• Chemotherapy and Radiation: Ayurveda can support individuals undergoing chemo and radiation therapy, helping them maintain strength and effectively manage side effects.

Ayurvedic cancer treatment focuses on restoring health balance, protecting vital organs, enhancing immunity, and incorporating anti-cancer, antioxidant, and detoxifying herbs, along with tailored detox diets.

For thyroid issues, hypertension (high blood pressure), severe rheumatic conditions, diabetes type II, insomnia, severe depression, and hormone therapy, where chronic conditions require ongoing chemical medication, Ayurveda is administered alongside conventional treatment. Over time, this can lead to a reduction in medication dosage or, in some cases, the discontinuation of chemical drugs.

All changes are made with strict safety measures, regular check-ups with an Ayurvedic therapist, and in consultation with your medical team. Guidance from specialists, along with lab tests, blood tests, and ultrasound examinations, will be coordinated with your GP as needed.

Do’s and Don’ts

• Plan the first appointment on relatively relaxed day. This helps to concentrate better during the consultation and making the experience pleasant and productive.
• After the first consultation keep some time free to process and assimilate all the information. At least do not plan a very close appointment after a consult so that you don’t need to rush.
• To get suitable date and time book the appointment 2 to 3 weeks( minimum) in advance. Email is the preferred way of communication.
• When booking appointments for babies and young children look for suitable time of the day for your child and avoid their nap times. For children in age when they can understand ,explain in simple language what they can expect during the consultation before coming for the appointment. This helps in creating positive experience and getting better co-operation from a child for the examination.

Food and drinks on the first consultation day

• You may take all normal meals provided there is minimum one to one and half hour distance between eating and consultation time. People with strong hunger or medical conditions like diabetes, etc should bring some food with them so soon after the examination is over they can eat.
• Do not drink coffee 1 hour before consultation. Do not drink any alcohol prior to the consultation. Both these thing can alter the Pulse reading and the diagnostic process.
• Please remember to take all regular medicines such as blood pressure pill, diabetes medicines, thyroid medicines, etc. on the day of consultation.

Things to take with you for the first consultation

• List of all health complaints that you have.
• List of all the medicines, creames, vitamins, supplements that you are currently taking.
• Any hospital records, blood or other medical reports that you might have.
