Updated: 1 day ago
In the modern, rapidly changing world, many people are looking for effective and holistic wellness solutions. The ancient wisdom of Ayurveda has been gaining immense popularity as more individuals seek traditional, natural alternatives to conventional medicine. With its personalized approach to well-being, Ayurveda can provide tailored solutions for various physical and mental ailments. If you're exploring a different path to wellness, visiting a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner could be the transformation you need.
In this blog post, we will explore five compelling reasons to consider seeing an experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner today.
1. Personalized Holistic Wellness Solutions
One of the greatest benefits of consulting a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner is the personalized holistic healing solutions they provide. "Unlike conventional, allopathic medicine, which often uses a one-size-fits-all strategy, Ayurveda recognizes that everyone has a one of a kind doshic picture. At Saumya Ayurveda, your food program is designed to balance your doshas. In other words, the foods that are suggested, energetically bring balance to your doshic picture. This is what I mean by food is medicine. Through your consultation, you'll learn how to turn your meals into medicine and you won't have to live in the kitchen do it. Your herbal protocol is made just for you, and lifestyle practice are simple, enjoyable, and not a long list of routines." -Veena, Saumya Ayurveda
When you meet with a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, they will conduct a thorough assessment of your physical, emotional, and spiritual health. This includes discussing your health history, daily habits, and your mind. Based on this traditional multi-point Ayurvedic assessment, they will develop a treatment plan just for you.
This custom approach ensures that you receive treatment targeted at your specific constitution, or Prakriti and your Virkruti (current dosha expressions, aka symptoms or imbalances.) For example, if you’re dealing with digestive issues, your practitioner might suggest dietary changes that include easily digestible foods and specific herbs like ginger or fennel, tailored to your unique body type.

--Rachael R. Denver, Colorado
2. Holistic Approach to Wellness and Health: Physically, Mentally, Spiritually
Ayurveda is built on the understanding that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected. Practitioners focus on balancing these three aspects of your being to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.
When you see a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, you receive a comprehensive strategy for wellness. This may include dietary recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, herbal remedies, and traditional Ayurvedic treatments such as Abhyanga (Ayurvedic massage) or detoxification tools such tongue cleaning, oil pulling, and dry brushing.
For instance, if you struggle with anxiety, a practitioner might recommend meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, and pranayama (breathwork) techniques alongside using food as medicine to balance Vata dosha which as at the root of anxiety. This multi-faceted approach not only boosts your physical health but also nurtures your emotional and mental well-being.
“I feel greatly improved. Stress fell off like an old hairy coat. I’m just not anxious. Depression is way decreased. I was haunted by anxiety my whole life, and it’s just gone. The mudra, mantra...WOW. This is so cool! I have regained hope. Something wonderful is taking place. You and your knowledge come to me after a lifetime of searching and prayer. I am forever grateful.”
--Mark Hughes, Minnesota
3. Comprehensive Understanding of Herbal Remedies
Experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioners possess extensive knowledge about herbal remedies. Their expertise can provide you with natural solutions for common issues without the side effects associated with many pharmaceuticals.
When you consult with Veena, she'll introduce you to specific herbs tailored to your doshic picture.
“Veena has been incredibly helpful in healing issues that I wasn’t able to find answers to with Western medicine. She has given me the tools to understand and support my health with Ayurvedic practices, herbs, food and breathing. I highly recommend Veena if you’ve been struggling with multiple symptoms and looking for answers but coming up short over and over again. Thanks Veena!”
-Hannah Thompson, Minnesota
Please note: Saumya Ayurveda does not recommend using herbs as if they were over the counter or prescribed pharmaceuticals. An experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner will create you a custom herbal formula, special nasya, and customized Ayurveda plan to support the whole you. Herbs are not Ayurvedic because it comes from India. Nor it is correct for you because it is organic. Herbs become Ayurvedic when used as part your customized Ayurveda plan which is carefully tailored for your constitution. An herb that is balancing to one person for a concern, may be imbalancing to another.
4. Prevention Over Cure
An essential principle in Ayurveda is the focus on prevention as well as treatment. A Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner will help you not only address current health concerns and goals but also educate you on maintaining optimal health to prevent future problems.
During appointments, you'll learn about key Ayurvedic principles that promote healthy living, such as mindful eating, stress management techniques, and understanding your body’s natural rhythms.
By learning to incorporate these principles into your daily Ayurvedic morning and evening routines, you become equipped to make choices that balance your doshas.
“As a physician, I have always believed ‘Prevention is better than cure.’ In an era of spiraling health care costs, Ayurveda is the logical and natural solution.
I was encouraged to pursue a steady approach to create lasting changes. Now when I see my patients, I see so many sufferings from similar symptoms related to diet and stress. I route my patients to Saumya Ayurveda. Veena is a blessing to have such a rich resource.
I am eternally grateful to Veena for anchoring me to my present state of health and peacefulness and for helping me to embark on a path towards the balance we all are striving for. Thank you so much.”
--Dr. Gauri Nagargoje, M.D., Oncology and Hematology
5. Enhanced Quality of Life
The most compelling reason to consult a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner is the overall enhancement of your quality of life. By addressing your health and wellness concerns holistically, you experience improvements in your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Regular sessions with a seasoned practitioner can provide tools for managing stress, achieving proper nutrition, and building emotional strength and resilience.
As you progress on your journey, you may find yourself feeling more energetic, focused, and balanced-physically, mentally, and spiritually. The holistic methods practiced in Ayurveda can lead to greater self-awareness, helping you connect with your inner self and achieve genuine harmony.
“I cannot say enough about Veena and Saumya Ayurveda. Veena takes the time to truly hear and offer the best solutions. This care of my health is not optional, choosing this path with Veena has given me such a better quality of life! I look forward to the continued support and guidance.”
-Erin Griffin, Alaska
6. Treat a Range of Dosha Imbalances
Ayurveda addresses a wide array of health concerns and goals by focusing on the fundamental concept of doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These doshas, which are derived from the five elements of nature—earth, water, fire, air, and space—represent different energies within the body. The three primary doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—must be in a state of balance for an individual to maintain optimal health. When these doshas become imbalanced, they can lead to various physical, emotional, and mental health issues.
At Saumya Ayurveda, the approach is not merely about treating isolated conditions; rather, it emphasizes the importance of understanding and nurturing the entire individual. This philosophy is encapsulated in the words of Veena: "At Saumya Ayurveda, we don't treat conditions, we help you—the whole you." This statement highlights a commitment to a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan that considers the unique constitution of each person, known as Prakruti, and the specific imbalances they may be experiencing, referred to as Vikruti.
By focusing on the whole person, Saumya Ayurveda not only addresses the symptoms but also seeks to uncover and rectify the underlying root causes. This integrative approach fosters not only physical well-being but also emotional and spiritual health, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life. Ultimately, the goal is to empower individuals to take charge of their health and wellness, promoting a sustainable lifestyle that aligns with their unique needs and helps them thrive in every aspect of their being.
Do I have a dosha imbalance?
“It is with great pleasure that I write this review! Working with Veena has remarkably changed my life – even in the places I was unaware that it demanded to be changed! Throughout the course of four months, Veena’s gentle and succinct approach allowed me to easily refine my routines into a more structured foundation that left me feeling more in graceful governance with myself – emotionally and physically.
Not only had she brought forth awareness in how I prepare/ relate to the food I eat, but she also prescribed me wonderful herbs to help calm my anxiety, detox my liver, and heal the ugly night sweats I’ve been experiencing due to hormonal imbalances. Lastly, her guided meditations are a great grounding force, and I have since continued to explore the euphoric benefits of Yoga Nidra.
Veena is a well of divine knowledge, and her humor and light will be eternally appreciated!”
--Rachel Monson, Wisconsin
7. Balance the Doshas
In simple terms, when the doshas are imbalanced, you'll notice it. You might not pay attention until the symptoms become prominent, but you'll sense it. You could feel slightly off, or as if you're no longer yourself. You might experience occasional heartburn or severe, painful acid reflux. Your sleep quality might decline, leading to full-blown insomnia. The doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—can manifest in countless ways when they're not balanced. The key is to restore and maintain balance among all three doshas through seasonal transitions, life stages, and daily living.
