What happens at an Ayurvedic consult

Perhaps you have heard about Ayurveda and its traditional approach to health, but you are not sure what to expect, what you’ll be asked, or how an Ayurvedic practitioner can personalise the recommendations for you.

At Sahana, it all begins with YOU.

Understanding your health story

Your health is influenced by many interconnected factors.

During your consult, we explore your health history, current concerns, lifestyle, daily routines, environment, and overall wellbeing. This conversation helps to build a more complete picture of what is happening in your life and where support may be helpful.

You don’t need to know anything about Ayurveda before your consultation. Simply come as you are and be prepared to share your experiences, concerns and goals.

Understanding your Ayurvedic constitution/dosha

One of the foundations of Ayurveda is the understanding that every person is unique!

Your Ayurvedic constitution, known as Prakriti, describes your individual nature and tendencies. We also consider the current state of balance- Vikruthi to look beyond an individual symptom and consider the wider patterns that may be relevent to your wellbeing.

Looking at the bigger picture

Ayurveda takes a whole-person approach, rather than looking at a concern in isolation and how different aspects of your life may be connected.

Creating your personalised plan

Depending on your circumstances, your personalised recommendations may include:

• Nutrition and food choices

• Ayurvedic lifestyle guidence

• Daily routines, timings, and habits

  Herbal medicine

• Referrals to other practitioners or modalities

Keeping things practical

Making changes to your health and lifestyle does not mean changing everything at once.

The aim is to give you a clearer understanding of practical steps that you can incorporate into your everyday life that are realistic and sustainable.

You don’t need to be familiar with Ayurvedic terminology or principles before a consultation. It is an opportunity to slow down, explore your health and lifestyle in greater depth, and understaning how Ayurvedic approach may support your individual wellbeing.
