Diagnosis & Examination

Diagnosis

Diagnosis according to Ayurveda is to find out the root cause of a disease. It is not always necessary that the root cause is inside the body. Many times the cause may be outside the body. According to Ayurveda, we do not just treat the physical symptoms. The person is treated as a whole.

Examination

Treatment means removing the root cause. Ayurvedic treatment does not mean suppressing the main symptoms and creating some new ones as side effects of the main treatment. It is to remove the root cause and give permanent relief. The treatment mainly comprises of powders, decoctions, medicated oils, prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals. Because the medicines are from natural sources and not synthetic, they are accepted and assimilated in the body without creating any side effects and on the other hand, there may be some side benefits.

Along with medicine, proper diet and living style is also advised.
