        Ayurvedic consultation approach
        Ayurveda​ ​treats the body, mind and spirit of a person as a whole entity. It works on the basis that the mind and body affect each other, and a combined approach can better overcome disease.
        During Ayurvedic consultation, your Ayurveda consultant not only focuses on symptoms but also considers overall body balance, mental status, and physiological function, looking for the causes of the disease, for example wrong diet habits, bad lifestyle, etc.

        Ayurvedic medicines and dosages are not standardised but they differ from person to person depending upon severity and chronicity of disease, age of the patients, ayurvedic body type of the patient, strength of the patient, digestive capacity of the patient, the time of the season, the time of day, and the family health history.

        Ayurveda focuses on prevention and so Ayurvedic consultants try to learn more about the diet of the patient and the present lifestyle, and manages the aggravating factors of the disease.
