Where we stand. Ayurveda is a recognised system of medicine in India under the AYUSH framework. It is offered here as adjunctive support. We do not advertise it as a treatment or cure for any condition, and no one here will advise you to stop or reduce a prescribed medicine.
Where it overlaps with what we already do
A good deal of Ayurvedic dietary practice concerns things modern nutrition also recognises — regular meal timing, seasonal and local eating, the digestive effect of particular spices, and attention to how food is prepared rather than only to what it contains.
That overlap is where this sits most comfortably, and it is where most of our practitioners work. Where a recommendation is dietary, it is integrated into the plan rather than run in parallel with it.
How it is delivered
The same four commitments that govern every adjunctive service here.
Registered practitioners
Recognised qualification and current registration, available on request.
Integrated, not parallel
Recommendations go into the same file as the nutrition plan, so nobody is working blind.
Never a substitute
Not for medication, not for investigation, not for a specialist referral.
Optional and separately charged
Never bundled into a nutrition programme and never a condition of one.
A word on herbal preparations
Herbal preparations are not inert, and treating them as harmless because they are traditional is a mistake we see often.
- Several interact with prescribed medicines, including blood thinners and glucose-lowering drugs
- Some affect liver function, and herb-induced liver injury is a recognised clinical entity
- Heavy metal contamination has been documented in some unregulated preparations
- Tell your doctor everything you are taking, including anything bought without a prescription
- If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have liver or kidney disease, raise it before anything is recommended
Questions we are asked
Will Ayurveda cure my condition?
We make no such claim. Under the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act 1954, claims of cure for a long list of conditions are not lawful in advertising, and we would not make them regardless.
Can I take Ayurvedic medicine with my prescription?
That is a question for the doctor who wrote the prescription, and it is a genuinely important one. Interactions exist. Take the list of what you are taking to that appointment.
Is it part of the programme?
No. It is separate, optional and separately charged.
Do you sell the preparations?
Where something is recommended you are free to source it anywhere, and we would encourage you to buy from a manufacturer with proper quality assurance.
