Integrative Ayurveda

“The N.H.S. waiting list will grow to five million people by 2021… equivalent to one in 10 of us, the highest number ever,”

Simon Stevens, Chief Executive of the NHS.

With public perception of a crisis in our healthcare system, it is now becoming accepted that the future of medicine lies in our nutrition and lifestyle. What could better help us understand how to manage our health than the original source of knowledge and the most enduring and sophisticated system of healing? Ayurveda is the ancient and timeless, science of life and has been experientially proven over many centuries to help us achieve an optimum state of health and well being.

Why choose us?

The Ayurvedic Clinic and the Ayurveda Institute UK have been successfully treating thousands of patients and teaching hundreds of students for over two decades. Healthcare professionals come to us both as patients and students, frustrated that the tools they have are insufficient to effect true healing in their patients and themselves.

The Ayurveda Institute is the only provider of Ayurvedic education able to offer training delivered by a team of practitioners who are in continuous practice in a well-established Ayurvedic medical clinic. The teaching is delivered exclusively by Ayurvedic physicians and allopathic physicians with decades of clinical practice.

There are a significant number of patients, for whom the Western medical system has so far been unable to find either the cause or remedy for their disorder. Ayurveda can provide profound insight into the root cause of diseases. It can help to either eliminate the disorder or arrest its progress using natural methods, such as diet and lifestyle that any person can sustainably apply in their daily lives.

Despite enormous advances in the development of diagnostic tools in the Western medical system, diagnosis and the identification of the cause of many common disorders is still complex and inaccurate. Ayurveda uses natural, multiple diagnostic methods that are shown to be reliable, examining both the patient and the disorder.
