Ayurveda for People Who Are Not Ill

That said, be honest at the consultation. Sleep, digestion and stress are the three the physician will ask about, and vagueness there produces a vaguer programme.
The guests who benefit most are usually the ones who arrive tired rather than unwell, and who did not think that counted as a reason to come.
