What to expect from a session For Ayurvedic consultation-patients are asked to fill in an Ayuva Dosha Questionnaire before I take their detailed Case-history. This is generally sent by email or can be downloaded from www.ayuva.com Please bring latest test reports and the list of medicine / supplements you are taking. I will assess your pulse / face / tongue / nails. I will carry out physical examination of systems of the body when needed. Pulse and Blood Pressure readings are also noted down.
For Herbal Medicine Consultation-I will take a detailed case history along with pulse and blood pressure readings. A management plan is drawn out agreed by both the practitioner and the patient. Physical examination of systems of the body will be carried out when and as needed.

For Ayurvedic therapy session-The preparation will depend on the specific therapy. However, you should not wear your best clothes for a therapy session and be prepared to have some oil on your hair and /or body.
About My TherapiesAyurveda- Ayurveda is the traditional Medicine system and originated in India around 5000 years ago. Ayurveda is identified as ‘the knowledge of life’ or ‘the science of life’ in its all four forms- health, unhealth, happiness and sorrow. Hence it can be called as a WAY OF LIFE and focuses hugely on preventing ill-health / diseases.
Ayurvedic Therapies - can be divided as follows:
- Reducing therapies
- To eliminate excess
- To purify
- Strengthening therapies
- To strengthen or rejuvenate
- To maintain the strength
Most of the therapies are carried out with herbal oils according to your body type.

Testimonials“I have known Ashish Paul since 2008 and I have had the opportunity to have experienced her services over these 2 years.
Ashish has a very detailed knowledge of her field of expertise in Ayuva Herbal Medicine and belongs to The National Institute of Medical Herbalists so you can assured of integrity and high standards from her services.” October 17, 2010- Stella Fehmi, Regional Director at Athena Network
“I have been very interested in Ayurvedic Therapies as it sounds like a holistic treament that can be very beneficial for health. Ashish is also a Medical Herbalist, she provided me with a thorough Consultation, she was very knowledgeable about her field. She gave me advice about types of food I can eat and avoid and even characteristics that I have based on the consultation and my type.
She advised I have shirodhara for my type, I am pleased to say I have had two treatments, also a foot treatment which I found especially beneficial and relaxing and this is exactly what I needed at the time. I especially enjoyed the 'ceremonial' aspect to the treatment, it really set the tone for a peaceful atmosphere.
I would like to have further treatments and know that I will work with Ashish and her associate Zane Zalite again.” October 5, 2010- Awele Odeh at Professional and Personal Development Consultancy
