Abstract:

Patients coming for treatments to an Ayurvedic clinic in the west mostly come for chronic conditions – and most of them have already been treated unsuccessfully for their ailments by modern medicine or other naturopathy. Scientific studies impressively document the improvement of physical health as well as the improvement of overall psychological wellbeing in different aspects. Patients coming are not very familiar with Ayurveda – so it is medically sensible apart from diagnosis and treatment with the classical time tested modalities to teach them basic concepts for further improving their life style, eating habits etc. before going back home.
