How we work: cause → signs → remedy
- Find the cause. What is keeping your mind busy: workload, worries, sleep habits, screen time or diet.
- Read your signs. Your sleep, energy, mood and daily routine.
- Plan the remedy. Treatment chosen for you, not a standard package.
What treatment may include
Treatment depends on your condition. Your doctor decides on it after discussing it with you. It may include:
- Herbal medicines to take at home
- Calming head therapies, for example Shirodhara (gentle warm oil stream on the forehead), Ksheeradhara (warm medicated milk stream) and Shiro Abhyanga (head massage)
- Sleep and daily-routine guidance (Dinacharya) you can follow at home
What to expect
- First visit: 45–60 minutes with the doctor. Bring your list of medicines and any reports.
- Your plan: explained clearly, so you know what each step is for.
- Therapy courses, where needed, are planned around your condition, so their length differs from person to person.
- Follow-up visits to check progress and adjust your plan.
Go to a hospital first if…
- Thoughts of harming yourself, or feeling unable to keep yourself safe. Go to your nearest hospital straight away, or call the 1926 National Mental Health Helpline.
- Chest pain, or a racing heart with breathlessness
- Seeing or hearing things others don’t, or sudden confusion
Ayurvedic care is not a substitute for emergency care. If you have any of these, please get medical help the same day.
Common questions
Should I stop the medicines my other doctor prescribed?
No. Please don’t stop or change any prescribed medicine without proper medical advice.
Is my consultation private?
Yes. Everything you share with the doctor stays confidential.
Can I consult online?
Yes, for the assessment and a herbal and routine plan. Shirodhara and other therapies need a visit to our Anuradhapura clinic.
