Frequently Asked Questions

What Does an Ayurveda Consultation Involve?
First, the practitioner reviews the client's self-test and health-history form. If the information is understood, holistic health suggestions are made; if any questions still exist, the client is contacted for clarification.

We suggest consultations genarally cover the following topics:
Part 1.
A) physical & mental dosha (prakrti)
B) current state of balance of the doshas (vikrti)
C) herbal suggestions specific to the health concerns you described
D) any specific foods to eat or avoid that relate to your health concern

Part 2. After you see the results from the herbs
A) Dosha food plan (a complete list of foods that will balance your dosha/vikrti)

Part 3. After you see the results from the foods
A) Lifestyle counseling
B) Career/Dharma counseling
C) Aromatherapy suggestions
D) Color therapy suggestions
E) Yoga therapy suggestions
F) Exercise suggestions
G) mantra/meditation suggestions
H) Music therapy suggestions
I) Self-Massage suggestions

Sessions are ideally aimed at educating the client to understand how to take care of themselves so they do not become dependent on a center. The ideal goal is education for self-responsibility. So if follow-up consultations are needed, they are available, but clients rarely need more than one or two follow-up consultations before they can follow and develop their Ayurvedic health programs on their own.

Do you carry Ayurvedic Herbs?
Yes, we have herbal products available at http://vedicvendor.com.

What is the Cost of an Ayurveda Consultation?
This depends on if the person is a practitioner only, or an MD, chiropractor, etc. Generally in the US a reaonable rate may be around $25-$50 per half hour.

How does one choose a practitioner?
This is really a common-sense approach; if you feel intuitively good about the person, and you see they have had at least 2 years of training, then this seems reasonable.

Our suggestion is the practitioner seems to be living a peaceful life as well as talking about it. If they inspire your peace, then this is our definition of a good practitioner.

If they empasize your life-purpose, spirit, and peace as the main healing tools, then you have found a real practitioner.
