Upon your first visit to our clinic, you shall receive a 30-45 minute consultation with an Ayurvedic physician. The physician will assess your Prakriti and Vikriti, ie your basic constitution and your current state of health. This involves taking a detailed case history, completing a dosha questionnaire and making a visual examination of your body - paying attention to build, skin, hair, temperature, blood pressure, and so on. Once your doshic balance has been accurately determined and the causes of imbalance have been established, only then can treatment and lifestyle information be prescribed and advised.
Ultimately, the key to health lies with understanding your doshic constitution. How you live physically, mentally and emotionally will either keep you healthy, or cause an unbalance and make you susceptible to health problems.
By determining how and why you become ill, we can adapt the insight that Ayurveda provides into a lifestyle that is suited to your individual needs. You can discover which foods and drinks are good for you, which exercises or activities are suitable for you, which yoga postures you should do, which medicines or treatments are most appropriate for your condition, which breathing exercises to do - and even when it is the best time to wake up and go to bed!
What’s more, we are the first UK Ayurvedic practice to offer consultation totally free of charge.
The following forms of treatment and treatment packages are a combination of various massage therapies and classical Ayurvedic therapies, used to relieve many health complaints as well as rejuvenate and re-balance your specific body type. Each therapy is catered for each person. If, for example, a person is suffering from osteo-arthritis around the knee, an effective treatment like Kizhi can be adapted to focus on that afflicted part of the body. And depending on the type of therapy you take, different combinations of oil / powders / herbs etc are incorporated to suit your particular type and condition. Please note: no treatment should be considered without prior consultation with our Ayurvedic physician.

Treatment Packages
Our Ayurvedic treatment packages have been specifically designed using time-tested and proven knowledge about many common health complaints. As with any kind of therapeutic approach, prolonged and regular exposure to any Ayurvedic therapy will bear the most effective results.

We have formulated suitable treatment packages, which vary in length and construct, to treat the health problems that conventional means can only temporarily suppress.
As the number of therapy sessions increases, does the overall price come down. Sessions at the centre for therapy may be continuous, ie one day after another, but we adjust all our packages to suit each patient’s own therapeutic requirements. The treatment package prices reflect the discounts we offer on the number of sessions involved. In addition to these discounts, we also offer further savings on treatment packages which last for 15 sessions or more - so look out for the package prices marked with a *star*.
The packages here have been formulated according to standard Ayurvedic treatment protocols. This means that the package construct, and therefore the prices listed may be subject to change according to various mitigating factors surrounding each individual case. It will be the responsibility of the Ayurvedic physician to adjust any package and advise the patient accordingly. This may be done after the initial consultation and examination of the patient’s condition, or perhaps partway through a package - if the physician determines that a change in the package is necessary. The patient shall be kept fully informed of any changes at all times.
It is also important to remember that any treatment package undertaken has a time limit which will be advised by the physician. This is a measure to ensure the best possible results. It is best to adhere to whatever appointment schedule the Ayurvedic physician prescribes if effective results from any therapy are to be achieved. Medications, yoga and/or dietary advice etc may also be included as part of a package, for which the charges (if applicable) are separate.
Again it is necessary to emphasize here that even though all information and treatment we provide is done with your health in mind - it is also important for you to understand the advice and recommendations given to you and adhere to the instruction / therapy package given. Ayurveda teaches that people are their own best healers, so it is important to monitor and balance your lifestyle habits to heal, prevent illness and develop longevity. All we provide are the basic guidelines and the first steps to good health, but it is up to you to realise that you can take control of your life to promote self-healing, self-worth and self-empowerment.
