An Ayurvedic practitioner is a CAM specialist who uses observation, touch, therapies, and advising to treat and restore a state of balance to all aspects of the human body in order to help prevent illness and promote wellness. Ayurveda is based on the philosophy that people, their health, and the universe are all related. It is believed that health problems can result when these relationships are out of balance. Herbs, metals, massage, meditation, yoga, and other products and techniques are used for this purpose. Individuals visit Ayurvedic practitioners for conditions ranging from the common cold to cancer, diabetes and arthritis. As with any CAM treatment, please keep your CAM provider and PCP informed of any alternative or conventional treatments you are currently undergoing to insure safety and suitability. |
