What to Expect
An Ayurvedic consultation begins with pulse diagnosis (nadi pariksha) and a detailed assessment of your prakriti (constitution) and vikriti (current imbalance). The practitioner creates a personalised plan covering diet, herbs, daily routine (dinacharya), yoga, and potentially Panchakarma therapies (oil massage, steam, purification). Guidance is highly individualised.
