The 6 Stages of Disease
In an overburdened & strained medical system, where is it that your concerns feel heard & cared for?
In today's overburdened and strained medical system, it can be increasingly difficult to find a healthcare provider who truly listens and cares. Long wait times for appointments, rushed consultations, and a lack of personalized care can leave patients feeling unheard and frustrated. And it is not the providers fault, the they are often overworked, managing huge case loads and with minimal resources. Then, fragmentation of healthcare services seems to hinder effective communication and coordination, leading to more time wasting and difficulty getting a cohesive treatment plans - resulting in a lot of one-size-fits-all pills, surgeries and interventions which typically look to manage symptoms rather than look for and heal root causes of disease.
But what if it could be different? What if the patient could be at the centre? What is your practitioner uniquely looked at you and developed a tailored treatment plan? What would the possibilities be for your body and mind, and those of our families and community?
Ayurveda works in this way. Treating the person first, and the disease second. When the person is at the centre, we can notice the unique attributes of the individual that may cause disease and then catch problems before they manifest. Ayurveda emphasizes prevention, personalized care, and the interconnectedness of all aspects of the mind and body. By analysing the your unique constitution (Prakruti) and current state of imbalance (Vikruti), we can develop tailored treatment plans that address the root causes of illness and get you off the endless cycle.
A skilled Ayurvedic Practitioner will notice imbalance at the accumulation and aggravation stages. Typically, western interventions begin at the manifestation stage. Review The 6 Stages of Disease below to inform yourself, so that you can be empowered take action before ailments occur.
