Ayurvedic consultation

Ayurveda is a science of life, a philosophy and an ancestral and universal natural medicine that teaches us the foundations of our own nature. This Indian wisdom offers us the keys to a better understanding of ourselves.

It shows us how to behave with who we are. In other words, to recognise what is good for our health and what is not. It is both preventive and curative..

Ayurveda considers each individual to be unique, influenced by three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), and based on the theory of the 5 elements (Ether, air, water, fire, earth) that make up the Universe. This defines our birth constitution, our Prakriti (state of balance). Our Vikriti (imbalances) will also be highlighted on the same basis.

The aim of the consultation: who am I?

During the consultation, a number of questions are asked to determine your doshic constitution.

The aim is to establish together an Ayurvedic (not clinical) assessment of your general state.

The aim is to identify the root causes of the problems you are experiencing and to suggest solutions to help you regain a lasting balance.

An Ayurvedic consultation in no way replaces a medical consultation and is not a substitute for medical or paramedical treatment.

The Ayurvedic therapist 

The therapist (or practitioner, consultant, coach, health educator etc….) offers consultations to support people in their quest for well-being.

By identifying the reasons that led to the ‘malaise’, it will then be possible to correct them in order to regain harmony.

The therapist does not heal, but shows the way to one’s own power of self-healing.

Please note:

According to “Ayurveda en France” (an association of Ayurveda professionals), there are different categories of therapist, depending on the training they have received, their personal Ayurvedic experience and the number of years they have been practising (bearing in mind that Ayurveda is not yet legislated in France).

Don’t hesitate to contact several therapists depending on what they offer (assessment and advice/care/specialisations), read their opinions and trust your intuition!

An Ayurvedic doctor is called a Vaidya (=one who knows) and has learnt Ayurvedic and modern medicine (often from generation to generation) at Ayurvedic medical universities in India over a period of around 7 years, with periods spent in hospitals. He knows everything there is to know about Ayurveda, and is consulted for everything, especially in cases of serious pathology, which is not the therapist’s primary role. He is also the one who will prescribe the treatments and medication during Ayurvedic cures. In India, allopathic doctors and Ayurvedic doctors often work together.

How does the consultation work?

The interview follows a protocol that includes a questionnaire about your general and specific lifestyle habits.

Based on your answers, we will establish your daily habits (Dincherya).

Based on ancient principles, the Vaydias call DINCHARYA the concept of an ideal day, the pillar of a good general balance. Dincharya translates as ‘daily routine’.

The consultation is a precious moment, an exchange, a dialogue in which we open up. A special focus on you, a form of introspection. So we take the time to observe and read you.

Discernment, compassion, patience, listening, presence, intuition, respect.

Questions will relate to the state of your digestion and elimination, the way you eat, how you sleep etc… if you have recurring thoughts, fears, conflicting relationships etc…..

An examination of the tongue, skin, eyes and nails will provide additional information for this consultation.

Doctors and certain qualified Ayurvedic practitioners use pulse-taking (Nadipariksha) during consultations, but this is not yet my case.

At the end of the consultation:

We’ve got our feelings out in the open, and that’s good enough for us!

All this information will be analysed to produce a summary which will be sent to you by email.

This Ayurvedic check-up will enable us to highlight the imbalances that are ‘weighing you down’, to gain a better understanding of your metabolism and how you function on a daily basis.

Once we’ve identified the causes, we’ll work on the root causes using a range of therapeutic tools. My recommendations will include
– Dietary advice
– Appropriate massages
– Appropriate yoga postures
– Relaxation and/or meditation session

And others as appropriate.

We’ll then arrange a telephone appointment in the next few days to discuss the information you’ve taken the time to read, noting any questions you may have. And if you need support, we’ll discuss it.

Support:

It is important to note that to obtain results, you must first and foremost make a commitment to yourself! Because that’s your primary motivation, the goal you set yourself.

So the advice on daily hygiene must be applied, and often for a long time, as it is not unusual for waste products (malas) to have become deeply rooted and accumulated in the various body tissues.

Studying Ayurveda is open to everyone; it’s like taking a path of self-discovery and accompanying yourself towards a state of permanent well-being.

If you would like personalised support over a set period of time, we can work out a programme together.

Example: Over 3 months, with 1 or 2 appointments a week, or 3 appointments a month, or 1 or 2 appointments a month over the year.
