Ayurveda Consultation
Each individual is born with a pre-determined basic pattern and the Tridoshas and character-type are part of this pattern. The balance is finely tuned and the equilibrium is easily disturbed. This is called the persons Prakriti. The imbalanced or overbalanced condition of these systems, in any part of the body, causes ill-health which manifests as the symptoms of disease. It is the purpose of the consultation to determine what constitution you are and in what way you can be helped to a finer state of health.
An initial consultation normally takes about an hour and involves a thorough questioning of your medical history, family history, present conditions or concerns, current medications or herbs, using Ayurvedic diagnostics (including observation, palpation, pulse, tongue, face, nails, and voice). After determining your prakruti (constitution) and vikruti (state of imbalance), appropriate nutrition, lifestyle and various ayurvedic treatments may be recommended to you. All these findings will be discussed with you in as much detail as possible.
Ayurvedic practitioners believe that man does not need medicine if the diet is right and it is not medicine that is needed if the diet is wrong!

Naturopathy Consultation
An initial consultation with a naturopath normally takes about an hour. During this time the naturopath will ask questions about the person’s condition, medical history, diet and lifestyle, and any conventional treatments that they may be taking. The consulting naturopath may then use Iridology (iris diagnosis), or tongue and nail diagnosis to get a better picture of the complete health state of the client. If needed, pathology testing such as hair, stool, or blood analysis may be recommended.
