Ayurvedic Health Consultations

An initial consultation is a 2-hour session. This involves taking a thorough history and performing an examination.  We then explain what your mind-body type is and go over recommendations for proper diet, routines and lifestyle. Then we offer you a treatment plan that usually includes a personalized herbal formula and may also include other Ayurvedic treatments (see treatments below).  I do recommend follow up appointments to help you progress and so I can continue to give additional recommendations. It is recommended that you come every 1-2 weeks for several visits then taper it off to once a month then eventually every 6 months or so.

I also provide a more focused evaluation for acute problems; having over 15 years of experience in emergency medicine; I am able to diagnose illness from a Western perspective; yet my treatments are aimed at addressing the body holistically.  I offer many Ayurvedic treatments to common conditions such as coughs, colds, sinus conditions, allergies, asthma, skin rashes, gastrointestinal conditions, etc.
