Ayurveda Consultation: -
Consultation at Herbal Heal Ayurvedainvolves a detailed intake and follow-up sessions that will help us design optimalguidelines for your lifestyle based on Doshas or mind-body composition. OurVaidyas or Ayurvedic practitioners are thoroughly educated in traditionalIndian medicine and are experts in internal medicine, external herbal adviceand holistic treatment programmes.
All Ayurvedic consultations consistof two assessments - Prakriti Pariksha and Vikruti. These are the concepts inAyurveda that are used to identify the body constitution and imbalance in anindividual.
Prakriti or original creation, is a uniquecombination of the Doshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha that remains the samethroughout one’s life from the time of conception. It is the bodilycharacteristics that determine the psychological and physiological conditionsof an individual. Just as one cannot alter the height, the colour of the skin,eyes or hair, Prakriti remains unchanged during a lifetime and governs thenature of the person’s relationship with nature. Prakriti Pariksha or Prakritianalysis is significant in Ayurvedic medicine for diagnosis and treatment. Itis often carried out through a series of questions on the lifestyle thatpinpoints a person’s tendencies, depending on which the Dosha energies arecalculated.
Vikruti translates to “after creation”. It isdefined as the position of the three Doshas after conception. While Prakriti isa state of good health and wellbeing, Vikruti is a state of ill health orimbalance. At Herbal Heal, Ayurvedic doctors will discern the imbalance causedby Vikruti in a person’s body and try to analyse the environmental causes forthis disproportion. Once the causes are established, a lifestyle diet isprescribed by the doctor that will try and rectify the environment and in turn,the present state of the three Doshas. The commonly followed schedule at HerbalHeal is -
- Standard Consultation (45 Min - 60 min) - $99
- Follow up consultation (30 Min - 45 min) - $65
Prakriti and Vikruti are principal concepts in theprocess of traditional healing that help practitioners restore the equilibriumof the Doshas and rehabilitate the body to good health.
