Oh, that’s a great step you’re taking! Making sure that your Ayurvedic practitioner is properly certified is really important for peace of mind and your safety, too. Many don’t know, but having that trust in professional qualifications really enhances the healing process.
To verify a practitioner’s MCIM registration, you do have a couple of options. There is indeed an online database on the MCIM’s official website, where you can search for registered practitioners. You’ll need to have some basic info, like the practitioner’s full name or registration number if you got it. It’s pretty straightforward — once you’re on the website, look for the registration search or registered practitioners tab. If you’re having trouble finding this info or if the website seems confusing, sometimes websites are not the most user-friendly, you might prefer to just contact the council directly. A call or an email can solve things quickly, and they tend to be pretty helpful, in my experience.
And while we’re on the topic of verifying, it’s also a good practice to have a feeling check with yourself about how you feel after consulting with her. That’s just as important as the credetentials, in a way.
And hey, if you’re delving into the world of Ayurveda, you might wanna pay attention to your dosha type, if you haven’t already. A practitioner who understands your prakriti and ongoing imbalances can guide you to the right regimen, dietary changes, and more. Balancing your doshas, agni, and dhatus are essential. Just make sure whatever lifestyle changes or treatments your practitioner suggests are sustainable for you!
Always listen to your body, and if something feels off, don’t hesitate to get a second opinion. Hope this helped!
