What to Expect in Your First Ayurvedic Therapy Session

Embarking on an Ayurvedic journey is a step towards holistic wellness. Here is what you can expect during your first visit to Kurichiyil.

The Consultation

Unlike modern medicine which often focuses on symptoms, Ayurveda focuses on the root cause. Your physician will determine your Prakriti (body constitution) and Vikriti (current imbalance) through:

Nadi Pariksha (Pulse diagnosis)
Examination of tongue, eyes, and skin
Detailed history taking

The Treatment

Depending on your condition, you might be prescribed:

Abhyangam: A synchronized oil massage.
Shirodhara: Pouring of medicated oil on the forehead.
Kizhi: Fomentation with herbal boluses.

After Care

Post-treatment care is crucial. You will be advised on:

Diet (Pathya)
Lifestyle changes (Vihara)
Herbal supplements

Prepare to relax and let the healing begin.
