Ayurvedic and Western Medicine Diagnostic Systems
Diagnosis in Western medicine (derived from the word "discern" in Greek) is based on the patient's history, physical examination and laboratory testing. Case history-taking is a tradition dating back to the time of Hippocrates and a good physician is skilled at how, when and what to ask; if one asks the right questions, the patient will almost make the diagnosis in their own words for the physician.
Shatavari - Ayurveda
One in seven couples in Britain has trouble conceiving. Stress, pollutants in our food supply and water, long-term use of the contraceptive pill, alcohol consumption and poor diet can all be factors behind infertility.
Ayurveda and Dental Health
Ayurveda classifies teeth bone or asthi dhatu (bone tissue). The rishis (seers), founders of Ayurveda, gave due importance to teeth as the key elements to a healthy body. Teeth are like the guards at the main entrance to the body and are cut a few months after the birth of our body. If we do not take care of our teeth through proper eating habits and cleaning, they become a hideout for germs.
Ayurvedic Treatment and Lifestyle
In order to follow a balanced and healthy life, Ayurveda suggests a specific daily routine for each individual. This is based on the individual's basic body constitution (known as "Dosha"). To be able to follow Ayurvedic principles, one not only needs to take Ayurvedic herbs and massages according to one's Dosha, but also follow an Ayurvedic lifestyle which suits that Dosha.
