Good question, you’ve got a lot of curiosity about Ayurveda and it makes total sense. If you go for an Ayurvedic free consultation, it’s quite common for the doctor to ask about your daily habits, diet, and lifestyle, not just focusing on specific symptoms. They’ll probably dig into how you live your life as a whole — kinda like detective work for your health to get to the root causes. So yes, expect a thorough interrogation, in a good way!
Now, about how detailed these free consultations are… typically, they’re an introduction, meant to give you a sense of the Ayurvedic approach, and maybe some initial advice. They’re often not as deep as paid ones, but still valuable. Beware of those pressuring you to buy expensive products right away after a free consult, that’s a red flag for sure. You should feel comfortable to take things at your own pace, without any rush or pressure.
Online consultations, they can work well if it’s a trustworthy setup. While it’s true that traditional pulse diagnosis and physical assessment are part of Ayurvedic practice, online consultations make adjustments. They’ll ask you detailed questions and use what they have to paint a picture. It might not be as accurate as in-person, but it can still provide guidance.
Choose wisely — look for practitioners who have verifiable credentials in Ayurveda, like a BAMS degree or other recognized qualifications. Check reviews from other users, dig into their bios, that kind of stuff. Avoid those making miraculous claims like “instant cure” or “guaranteed results”, Ayurveda is all about balancing and takes time.
Finally, don’t hesitate to explore forums or groups where people share their experiences with specific consultations or doctors. That can really help you get a sense of who’s reputable. If you find someone who checks out, give it a shot and see if their guidance resonates with you. Good luck on your wellness journey!
