Clinic with an Ayurveda Practitioner

We are pleased that Dr Palitha has agreed to hold a clinic at Padmasambhava.

An Ayurveda practitioner will asses Prakruti and Vikruti – your natural constitution and your current state of health. This involves taking a detailed case history and examining the body, paying attention to build, skin and hair type, temperature of the body, digestion and bowel function, all of which point to more profound aspects of the patients condition. Once the doshic balance has been diagnosed and the causes of imbalance have been established, treatment and lifestyle advice is given.

Presenter: Dr. Palitha Serasinghe graduated as a Physician of Ayurveda in 1982 from the Institute of Indigenous Medicine, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka, with first class honours, and has since then worked within the field of Ayurveda. He went on to become lecturer, senior lecturer and Head of Department at the University: as well as a physician and Ayurveda Consultant Physician at the University’s Ayurveda Teaching Hospital and was fundamental to the development of Ayurveda research and research policy in Sri Lanka.
