AYURVEDIC CONSULTATION
(health check-up)
Ayurveda, the science of life, leads us first and foremost to the understanding of our nature.
Based on the theory of the 5 elements ( see our article: Ayurveda) and the three Doshas, it gives us keys to better understand ourselves and thus adapt our behavior according to our Prakriti (nature) and our Vikriti (our imbalances).
The purpose of an Ayurvedic consultation is to establish an assessment by examining your birth history and imbalances in order to find their roots .
The ultimate goal is better management of the Doshas in order to control their accumulation.
The interview follows a protocol that includes a questionnaire about your lifestyle habits, the state of your digestion and elimination, your diet, your medical history …
An examination of the tongue, skin, and nails will provide additional information.
A personalized program is then established to correct these imbalances; it includes:
-
Dietary and lifestyle advice (rhythms, Dinacharya: daily routine, activities…)
-
Body treatments and customized massages
-
Depending on the case: dietary supplements
-
Adapted physical practices and yoga postures
-
Learning breathing techniques: Pranayama
Note:
-
Although trained in pulse diagnosis (Nadipariksha), I don't necessarily use this method in my diagnostic work. Rich in information, this technique is used by qualified Ayurvedic doctors or practitioners to gather data for their diagnoses. It's often said that every Ayurvedic practitioner should include it in their consultations, or that Prakriti determination can only be performed using this method. This is not my opinion, and it's sometimes better to abstain rather than provide inaccurate information . Ayurveda offers many other techniques for establishing a quality diagnosis; Nadipariksha is one method among others, certainly effective when properly mastered, but several parameters come into play.

Determining Prakriti (birth constitution) is not always straightforward ; in some cases, it is sometimes necessary to treat imbalances in order to clarify the diagnosis.
-
To achieve results, the advice given during consultations must be put into practice, often over a long period. When toxins (malas) have accumulated deeply in the tissues, the rebalancing of the doshas cannot be accomplished in a short time.
I always encourage you to study Ayurveda so that you can learn about your own body and find the sources of your imbalances. If you are interested, I am happy to provide references to interesting books on the subject, and we regularly hold lectures and workshops.
