How will a healthy individual benefit from Ayurvedic consultation/treatments?.
 

Undergoing proper Ayurvedic treatments in good health enhances the immune power of the body and helps prevent the onset of disease.  Taking on appropriate measures to prevent disease and preserve health is considered to be a wiser attitude than going for a cure after one gets afflicted by disease.  Through nadi pareeksha consultation, one can :

   

gain knowledge of the body constitution and consequently determine which foods/activities are suitable.
   

and to maintain optimum health to know the imbalance and correct it before it heads into the onset of a disease.
Is Ayurveda as a system of medicine very slow in effective action?
 

Ayurveda can treat very rapidly…especially, the common cold, infections, fever.  The speed at which the effective herb medicines act will also depend on diet and lifestyle.  That is why in Ayurveda Ahaara (food) and Vihaara (daily routine activities/lifestyle), are given first prior to taking medicines (Aushadha).

Also it is important to add, that if a medicine is taking a longer time to be effective, it is because Ayurveda is treating the root of the problem.  It is not to be assumed that Ayurveda in general takes a long time.

Ayurvedic medicines fall into 2 categories herbal and herbomineral.  Sri Sri Ayurveda concentrates only on the herbal medicines and not on the other…. This is mainly due to the fears that people have (especially in the West) regarding heavy metal content in the medicines and adverse effects.  Rather herbomineral products have a huge medicinal value and after proper purificatry procedures, it will not have any harmful effects on the body as people think. still we only use herbal medicines in Sri Sri Ayurveda.

Any restriction to our eratic lifestyle and diet regime of the present day seems to be very strict because we have stopped respecting our health and nature  Once we learn the right way of  living then the diet conditions mentioned in Ayurveda does not seem to be difficult at all..
