Part of therapy involves actual treatment, while the other consists of lifestyle changes. According to ayurveda principle, the human being has three dimensions – the body, mind and soul. These three dimensions are set in an individualized pattern based on the predominant dosha (Prakriti). An imbalance in any one of these dimensions leads to ill being (Vikruti).

It is only after a detailed consultation that the physician determines the cause of this imbalance, using ancient techniques of observation (darshana), touching/ feeling (sparsana) and interrogation (prasna). After the consultation, the patient is given a detailed description of what might have to undergo over the next few days/ weeks.
