Feeling tired, bloated and achy, I’d put on weight and my doctor found I was anaemic. I recognised that I was losing control of my health. Although I knew the cause of my symptoms – my lifestyle – I felt I needed ‘outside’ help to rediscover healthful habits to bring me back to good health. From my studies of Hippocrates, I recognised similarities between Hippocratic principles and Ayurvedic herbal products: a whole person approach not just symptom control, a focus on lifestyle and personal characteristics that predispose people to certain conditions and treatment using natural gentle methods. A friend recommended an Ayurvedic Doctor in Nasik, India, Dr Sachin Jadhav. During my six-weeks treatment, Dr Sachin recommended a regime of certain herbs for me to take and gave me diet and lifestyle advice. I also had a panchakarma treatment which was a rejuvenating and relaxing experience.
Dr Sachin encouraged me, providing support emotionally and spiritually when I needed it. Though by profession he is a surgeon from the Ayurveda fraternity and is performing a lot of surgeries in his hospital, I was impressed by his therapeutic approach and feel that this helped me. Dr Sachin not only enabled me to find my way back to health but also encouraged me in my work as an integrative doctor and nutritionist. I learned a lot from him and would recommend him to others.
