Herbal treatment can be encorporated into any Acuvedic treatment but is usually prescribed as part of an ayurvedic programme including, diet, marmapuncture and relaxing Panchakarma treatment. A full ayurvedic consultation including a full medical history is neccessary before recieving herbal prescriptions.
The herbs work by balancing the 3 dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). Patients are usually given 2 sets of herbs:
1. Herbs to be taken before meals
2. Herbs to be taken after meals
During consultation, your practitioner will advise you on how best to take your herbs according to your condition. Herbs may vary as you progress on your course. The effects of each herb prescribed will be fully explained before prescription.
