Can I keep taking my medication when using Ayurveda? |
|
| |
Ayurveda can be used in conjunction with Western allopathic medicine. Drugs can save lives, but because of their toxicity they can also weaken or damage the body with side effects. Ayurveda can help protect and make the body stronger after or along with drugs or surgery. It is very important to let your Ayurveda practitioner know what medications you are on, so he can recommend the appropriate Ayurveda regime for you. |

How can Panchakarma benefit me? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Panchakarma helps to cleanse toxins that accumulate from improperly digested food, as well as other environmental factors, such as seasonal changes, stress and unresolved emotions, and provides a deep state of relaxation that helps to release chronic stress and tension, all of which act as obstacles to the healing process of chronic diseases and to your overall well being. Panchakarma also helps to counteract imbalances caused by seasonal changes, which can often weaken your immunity and leave you predisposed to ailments such as inflammations, colds, flu, respiratory infections, allergies, depression, etc., depending on your constitution and constitutional weaknesses. Ayurveda recommends doing Panchakarma at least once a year to promote overall health and longevity, and prevent disease. |

How does Ayurveda work? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The main purpose of our organism is to keep us alive. That is its function, its duty. Ayurveda's main objective is to balance the doshas according to your original constitution. When the doshas are in balance, the organism can function properly. Ayurveda focuses on removing the underlying cause of symptoms, which are the result of doshic imbalance. For that purpose, Ayurveda uses medicinal herbs, cooking methods, rejuvenating therapies, and daily routines (called dinacharya). A diet and lifestyle in harmony with your original constitution will strengthen your body, mind, and consciousness, and prevent disorders at all levels. |

How effective is Ayurveda? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Ayurveda is a very effective system of alternative medicine that is slowly being recognized in the West. It is one if the primary systems of health care in India, and has been used for thousands of years for all sorts of ailments and disorders. Its full effectiveness will depend on various considerations, including your age and state of health, how much effort you are willing to put into making the necessary changes toward better health, and how disciplined you are with taking your formulas and following the recommended guidelines. Since an Ayurveda regime is very individualized, its results will depend on individual factors and on follow-up treatments, since adjustments and close supervision are absolutely necessary to obtain optimal results. |

How soon will I see any results with Ayurveda? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
That would depend on your particular state of health, your lifestyle, and how disciplined you are in following an Ayurvedic regime. Often times, following an Ayurvedic regime can have rather quick effects, but since Ayurveda is a holistic system and herbs act more gently and synergistically, patience and self-effort are important. As far as diet and lifestyle changes are concerned, we believe that slow change is lasting change, since trying to make radical changes all at once can often times become overwhelming. Remember that true healing and optimal health is a journey, not a one-shot deal. |

Ayurveda is a truly holistic natural system of health and herbal medicine for all ages, and even for animals. Since Ayurveda considers food to be medicine, it focuses on diet and lifestyle as the foundation for good health, allowing you to take more control over your health and well being. Along with proper nutrition, it uses Ayurveda herbs and Ayurveda therapies that have been utilized for thousands of years. Medicinal herbs have many properties and potential actions, and, when manufactured and used properly, they achieve the desired results without creating further imbalances. So, as with any type of health care, it is important to have the guidance and close supervision of a trained clinician through regular follow-ups and good communication. |

What should I bring with me? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
We advise our patients to arrive here with as little as possible. For your stay at Maharishi Ayurveda Hospital you will need to bring loose fitting clothes, here we will provide you a light bathrobe. If you are planning to visit some of the attractions around Delhi, you will also need suitable clothes for this. From November to February it is winter time in Delhi and evenings so we suggest bringing some heavier clothing if you're coming at this time. |

Will I be able to do any sightseeing while receiving Ayurveda Rejuvenation Therapy? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Due to the delicate nature of the purification and detoxification experienced during Panchakarama, [Ayurevda Rejuvenation Therapy], it is recommended that patients stay within the beautiful grounds of the Maharishi Ayurveda Hospital residence, during the days of their treatments. The exception to this policy is when guests are in the Panchakarma preparation period, during the first days of their treatments. During this time, guests may enjoy leaving the grounds to take advantage of some sightseeing in Delhi and nearby places. |
