Ten questions the physicians are asked most.

Any disease is caused in the body as a result of imbalance of the three doshas — the vital humours Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

According to Ayurveda any disease manifests because of Pragna aparadha, or Parinama, or Asatmendriyartha samyoga.

Pragna aparadha

Intentionally doing an action that leads to a disease. A person who knows that curd increases phlegm, but consumes excess curd in the wrong season, and develops wheezing.

Parinama

Natural changes in the season or the day increase or decrease the doshas, outside one’s control. Those with allergic rhinitis sneeze more in the morning, when moisture in the environment is higher and kapha rises in the body. Chicken pox and urticaria rise at the beginning of Varsha ritu, when pitta increases.

Asatmendriyartha samyoga

Unsuitable interactions between the sense organs and their objects. Staring at a screen for long periods can cause vision trouble; smelling drugs can cause addiction.

Ayurveda offers natural, safe, effective, quick and long-lasting cure.

The strength of Sreehareeyam Ayurveda rests on its team of doctors, and on Ayurveda that has been in practice since the Vedic period.

Sreehareeyam strictly adheres to Ayurvedic principles. We administer either Sodhana — Panchakarma, the eliminative therapies — or Samana, pacifying remedies.

Five different treatments meant to cleanse and purify the body of increased or vitiated doshas.

Vamana

Supervised, medically induced emesis

Virecana

Supervised, medically induced purgation

Vasti

Supervised medicated enemas

Nasya

Supervised medicated errhines and nasal drops

Rakta mokshana

Controlled removal of diseased blood

The severity of the disease, or the disease itself as observed in practice, comes down.

Once a disease is cured by Panchakarma it does not recur for the next few years.

Even if the condition returns, its severity is less than in previous episodes.

No. In each disease only specific doshas increase, so all five treatments are not required for everyone. Every Panchakarma procedure is specific to a dosha.

Ayurvedic medicines are administered to treat the specific condition. This is done when the patient does not have time to undergo Panchakarma, and for minor conditions that do not require it.

It depends on the condition and its severity. Some conditions can be treated with a single course of medicine; some may take a year or more.

Yes. Wrong eating is one of the major nidana — causes — of disease according to Ayurveda.

Dietary modification is advised for two purposes: to enhance the efficacy of the medicines and prevent their side effects, and to remove the causative factor of the disease. Without it, neither purpose is achieved.
