WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE INITIAL CONSULTATION?
During the intitial consultation I'll take a detailed history of past and current symptoms, as well as a general medical history. Diagnostic tools involving the pulse, inspection of the tongue and physical features help reveal which dosha(s) are out of balance. You'll discover how disease evolved in your body, and we'll begin using lifestyle, diet and herbs to bring the doshas back into balance.
HOW SOON WILL I SEE RESULTS?
On the average, many practitioners agree that it takes about one month of treatment to reverse one year of disease. A chronic condition like Fibromyalgia develops over decades and could require years of treament for full reversal. With most conditions, you will begin feeling relief from symptoms in two or three days.
DOES AYURVEDA WORK FOR EVERYONE?
Ayurveda works 100% of the time with 100% of patients who follow 100% of instruction, provided the body has not been damaged beyond it's natural ability to heal. You only have to commit to trying the next new life habit.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I GO BACK TO MY OLD LIFESTYLE AND DIET?
Your current level of health is the sum total of your current lifestyle and dietary habits. If you return to a lifestyle that was previously contributing to specific symptoms, those previous symptoms will return over time. True health requires lifetime maintenance, but the rewards are priceless. Adhering to an Ayurvedic lifestyle not only frees you of current symptoms, but also prevents future disease, and slows or eliminates the so-called "diseases" of aging.
IF I WERE TO BEGIN MAKING ONE LIFESTYLE CHANGE RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Disease is the result of many factors and no one should rely on any one therapy or treament; however, a very simple and extremely effective healing habit is drinking half your body weight in ounces of filtered water, EVERY day. If you're not convinced this could be one of your most powerful health tools, please read this book:
