Ayurveda life-style consultations generally take between 1 - 1.5 hours, in which time we will ask you a series of questions, and also go through some diagnostic steps with you, including discussing your past medical conditions and history.
Here, we will check your Build, Eyes, Pulse, Tongue, Digestive and Urinary Habits etc.
Unfortunately today, many "Ayurvedic Practitioners" claim to treat disease, but have not studied deeper Clinical Ayurveda and remain "Ayurvedic Massage Therapists" of sorts. This causes many issues, as such Therapists deal with the Prakriti (Constitution) alone, when there can be other undelying factors causing disease!
Age, Sex, Climate and Seasonal effects are also additional factors that need to be assessed when both looking at the Prakriti (Constitution) and also the Vikriti (Disease category) of the person.
Contrary to what many people think, there are three parts to an Ayurvedic Examination: Prakriti (The Biological Constitution) is just ONE part of a proper Ayurvedic Consultation.
The Vikriti (Disease / Imbalance) is not always the same as one's Constitution and forms the second part which must be assessed.
In addition, a Manas Prakriti (Mental Constitution)examines your Mental State of Mind as per the Three Gunas (Modes of Nature: Sattvas (Purity and Clarity), Rajas (Agitation and Passion) and Tamas (Darkness, Ignorance) and is also taken into account.
One's bodily tissues (dhatus) and their states, as also the channel systems (srotas) etc. in the body are also examined and assessed in our full consultations also, noting any issues you may have and what factors are behind them as the root cause.
After this, the next follow-up Consultation(s) will measure your progress, and take note that your dietary and lifestyle changes are being adhered to, for proper changes to occur. This is crucial in the first three months, especially.
We must realise that in our lives, due to incorrect diet and lifestyle, we take in many toxins (ama) into our body, which does take some time to dislodge. We spend our lives doing so, so we also must be patient with our changes. In saying this, changes will occur in our bodies, once we begin to change our typical lifestyle tendancies for the better!
Ar Arogya Ayurvedic Health, Durgadas (Rodney Lingham) conducts these consultations, and is an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant, Ayurvedic Astrologer and Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher, Ayurveda Panchakarma and Massage Therapist and is certified in (Keraliya) Ayurvedic Pharmacy, Clinical Ayurveda and Beauty Therapies graduating from Greens Hospital, Azhiyur in Kerala state, India.
Under Clinical Ayurveda, we bring in many
herbal, lifestyle and dietary changes, as well as reccomend appropriate Panchakarma therapies (where required). Diseases in Ayurveda can be classified into many groups - beyond Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and require to be classified also according to internal, external or karmic causes (nidanas) etc. for proper treatment.
With a deep knowledge of Ayurvedic Pharmacy and study of the ancient texts, learnt under many Vaidyas (Doctors) including one Kerala Vaidya, Karuna, having 50+ years of Pharmacy knowledge in India, Durgadas (Rodney) brings in many Herbal remedies for effective cures of diseases.
As a Yoga and Ayurveda Teacher and Ayurvedic Astrologer he brings in yogic applications such as asanas (yogic postures and exercise) as well as pranayamas (breathing techniques) to suit one's individual nature or constitution (called Prakriti, meaning "nature") and disease imbalance (Vikara) - along with specific seed (beej) mantras, deities, gemstone and panetary recommendations, aromas, colours and herbs.
Various Tantric methods including astrology, mantras (sacred sounds and chants), various aromas, colours and gems are also discussed if required during your consultation. As Rodney (Durgadas) has been practising Tantric Yoga for around 15 years, he can help you work in harmony with the energies inherit in nature around you, through Mother Nature.
He is also a certified Veda Kovid, a Vedic Teacher who has studied Vedic sciences as Yoga, Ayurveda, Jyotish, Tantra and the mysteries of the Rig Veda - India's spiritual sciences as Vedanta, Samkhya etc. with Pandit Vamadeva Shastri (Dr. David Frawley). He is one of few people to have received this title, which involves many years of intense sadhana (spiritual practise) as well as study of these sciences, as also independant research and study of ancient shastras (texts).
Ayurvedic Life-style recommendations include diet, excercise, colour therapy, aroma therapy, psychological analysis as well as herbal therapies, through various herbal extracts, powder formulas (churnas) and rejuvenation formulas (rasayanas) to help restore the body to balance.
We can sell and advise you on these herbal preparations, which are to the highest standard, and follow the system of Kerala Ayurvedic Pharmacy, as in the text "Sahasrayogam", a famous text from Kerala (south-western state of India).
Panchakarma therapy, meaning "five actions" are also recommended for some individuals, of which we will refer you to an appropriate therapist, if cannot conduct these at our premises, for elimination of excess doshas (bodily humors or gas or vata, bile or pitta and phlegm or kapha).
These "Panchakarma" therapies can include nasal therapies (nasya), purgation (virechana), therapeutic vomiting (vamana) as well as oil (anuvasana) and medicated enemas (niruha), called "basti", along with preliminary methods such as massage (abhyanga) - and in many disease cases and combination of these can be administered.
For these more advanced Panchakarma practices and treatments requiring more time and a peaceful atmosphere, we can guide you to various locations in Kerala, India.
