Ayurveda FAQ's

Q: I have Lupus.. and am an older aging gal.. 58.. have dark bags under my eyes as well.. need I guess hormone therapy.. tell me which treatment would be good for someone like my self.. also I am having server neck problems... in the bones... seem to always be in pain.

A: It would be best to start you with the Abhyanga treatments and some things that you can do at home between treatments. The Abhyanga treatments are ideal for the Lupus condition, which Ayurvedically speaking is somewhere between a Vata and Pitta imbalance. 

You are in your Vata stage of life so that's probably an obvious place to start, and then we can adjust your treatment program as your dosha-s move. The dark rings under you eyes and a hormone therapy will be addressed in a slightly different way, that tends to be a pitta condition and we can give you powders to digest.

I would also like to apply the svedhana (heat) treatment as part of your program, this will help you with your severe neck and bones pain. Often I can just include some of this in the abhyanga treatments to keep the costs reduced. The ideal scenario is to have you doing a purvakarma, which is 6x abhyanga in the first week and then 3x the next, then 2x and then just 1x thereafter for say 3 months.

If your budget is limited then we can do abhyanga / svedhana treatments combined 3x the first week, 2x next, 1x thereafter.

Lets chat some more and once I start working with you I will have a much better idea after we do our consultation, which is included in the first treatment.

The rates are 1x and 3x series, and the WELL rates are when you buy a pack of $1,000. The WELLNESS membership is probably the best option for you, then any treatments and products purchased are just simply deducted from your WELL account. We then send you a PDF statement each month so that you know where you are.
