Maa Yoga Ashram, Rishikesh, in collaboration with Arogyadham Ayurveda Treatment Centre offers treatments of various ailments and diseases through Ayurveda lifestyle consultation, Ayurveda therapies like panchakarma, shirodhara, Ayurvedic massage, diet and nutrition etc.

A team of specialized doctors will give consultation on various health problems; taking into consideration individual constitution by pulse diagnosis and other methods. The first contact between the patient and the medical team consists of the following three steps:

Observation (Darshan): This step encompasses an evaluation of the patient’s overall physical health. The Ayurveda practitioner observes the patient’s movements and examines their body contour, and the color of their skin and eyes; as well as facial lines and ridges, the shape of their nose and the state of their lips, hair and nails.

Touch (Sparsha): The doctor then uses palpation (sparshanam), auscultation (shrvanaa) and percussion or tapping (akotana) to assess the patient’s health. S/he focuses on the patient’s pulse, tongue, nails and speech. Laboratory tests might also be in order. Questions (Prashna): The practitioner interviews the patient, asking them about symptoms, how long the discomfort has been there and how the disease has progressed. S/he also assesses the patient’s mental health.
