FAQs

1. What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old holistic healing system from India that focuses on balancing the body, mind, and spirit through personalized diet, lifestyle, herbs, and therapies. At Vedatmika Wellness, we combine this ancient wisdom with modern health insights to offer practical, sustainable wellness solutions.

2. How is an Ayurvedic consultation different from a regular doctor’s visit?

An Ayurvedic consultation focuses on finding and addressing the root cause of your health concerns rather than just managing symptoms. Instead of a quick 5–10 minute check-up, we spend quality time understanding your constitution (Prakriti), past health history, current imbalances (Vikriti), daily routines, diet, emotional health, and lifestyle habits.

3. Do I need to stop my current medication to follow Ayurveda?

No. Ayurveda works alongside modern medicine, not against it. We never advise stopping prescribed medication without your doctor’s approval. Instead, we create an Ayurvedic wellness plan that complements your current healthcare approach.

4. What can Ayurveda help with?

Ayurveda can support:

Digestive health (bloating, acidity, IBS)
Hormonal balance (PMS, PCOS, menopause)
Stress, anxiety & sleep issues
Skin health (acne, dryness, eczema)
Joint and bone health
Children’s immunity & wellness
General energy, vitality & longevity
And many more.....

5. Is Ayurveda safe for everyone?

Yes. When practiced by a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner, Ayurveda is safe and tailored to your unique constitution. All herbs, remedies, and practices are natural, gentle, and chosen based on your health needs.

6. What should I expect during my first consultation?

Your first consultation will include:

Detailed health assessment (including pulse, tongue, and lifestyle analysis)
Understanding your Dosha type (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)
Diet & lifestyle recommendations
Herbal, yoga, and daily routine suggestions
Follow-up plan for ongoing support

Duration: 45–60 minutes (online or in-person)

7. Do you offer online consultations?

Yes. We offer virtual Ayurvedic consultations for clients across the USA and worldwide via a HIPPA compliant Audio/Video platform.

8. How soon will I see results?

Ayurveda focuses on long-term healing rather than quick fixes. Some clients notice changes within a week, while deeper imbalances may take several weeks to months to restore.

9. Are your services covered by insurance?

Ayurvedic consultations are generally not covered by insurance in the USA, but the good news is we accept HSA/FSA cards and provide you with the super bill. You can check if your HSA/FSA includes these wellness services.

Before your session:

Keep a 3-day food & lifestyle journal
List your current medications/supplements
Wear comfortable clothing for any movement/postural assessments (if required)
