An Ayurveda consultation is a personalised, holistic, in-depth assessment to understand your unique constitution (Prakriti) and the current imbalances (Vikriti) affecting your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It focuses on identifying the root causes of the disease rather than merely addressing the symptoms.

Diet & Digestion
Duration: approximately 60 minutes
Ayurvedic Nutrition & Dietetics Consultation
Personalize your diet according to your digestion, constitution and lifestyle
Ayurvedic nutrition considers not only what you eat, but also how effectively your body digests, transforms and assimilates food.
The consultation explores your diet, appetite, digestion, bowel habits, reactions after meals and energy levels.
It also takes into account your constitution, current state and particularly Agni, together with meal timing, daily rhythm and seasonal changes.
This goes beyond following a generic list of foods for Vata, Pitta or Kapha.

Ayurveda and Conventional Medicine: A Complementary Approach
Ayurvedic medicine integrates seamlessly as a complementary approach alongside conventional medical care. Where relevant, we take into account your diagnoses, investigations, and ongoing treatments.
Ayurveda does not replace conventional medicine but offers a valuable holistic perspective focused on root cause balance, digestion, lifestyle, and long-term prevention.
Ayurvedic approach is:
Holistic — it considers the body, mind, emotions and environment as interconnected aspects of health.
Personalised — each programme is adapted to your individual constitution, current imbalances and personal situation.
Causal — it seeks to understand the factors contributing to imbalance, rather than focusing solely on symptoms.
Integrative — it can complement conventional medical care when appropriate.
Sustainable — it aims to support long-term balance through a personalised combination of nutrition, lifestyle, prevention and appropriate Ayurvedic therapies.
