How does an Ayurvedic practitioner determine my needs?
A. Ayurvedic practitioners seek to understand a client’s physical, mental and spiritual constitution. Practitioners are trained to use touch, including pulse-taking; observation, including the tongue, nails and general body structure; and questioning, including questions about current and lifelong patterns of health and imbalance. This technique is used to create a complete picture of the client’s prakruti and vikruti on all three levels; body, mind and spirit.
A. Ayurvedic practitioners seek to understand a client’s unique constitution through a three part process of encorporating: touch, as in pulse taking; observation, including the tongue, nails, facial features and general body structure; and questioning, including questions about current and lifelong patterns of health and imbalance. This process creates a complete picture of both your birth constitution and your current imbalances.
