Ayurveda is the fastest in healing. Allopathy doesn't heal at all! it only quickly removes the symptoms. Allopathy cannot remove the root cause like ayurveda does. At Samskrt we increase the digestive fire in one week or 10 days and in two or three days a person starts to already feel light and fresh. One of the fundamental principles of Samskrt is to treat a patient on a holistic level. Instead of just providing relief from symptoms, it identifies the root cause of the disease and aims to give you a permanent cure, wherever possible. Instead of a short-term cure and instant relief, Ayurveda focuses on giving you long-term health and well-being, which is bound to take some time. At Samskrt we are experts in reversing all kinds of Lifestyle Diseases , however we need a lot of support from the patient itself who should be ready to heal! Yeah surprising but most people are such slaves to their habits that they rather have a disease and die than change a habit and heal!!

Similar to any type of treatment, the time taken for improvement or cure of your disease in Samskrt depends upon the severity and type of your disease. The stage at which you go for Ayurvedic treatment makes a huge difference. If you have been living it for the last 5-10 years, you can't expect to see improvements in a few weeks. The longer you wait to go for Ayurvedic treatment, the longer it will take to get relief and treat the condition. However, if you sincerely follow the diet and lifestyle advice given to you by your Ayurvedic doctor, and take your medicines regularly on time, Our treatment is sure to show improvements in a relatively shorter period of time. To reverse diseases completely though it will take 6 to 8 months . The Body starts to heal within a few weeks though. Also if you have taken 10 years to get a disease shouldn't you give the body 6 to 8 months to heal completely.

An Ayurvedic doctor will advise food restrictions depending upon the state, severity and the type(s) of disease you are suffering from. There are some food restrictions in Ayurveda because while a particular food can be beneficial for a specific disease or problem, the same food can worsen another disease or aggravate the symptoms. As such, diet plans are carefully designed by Our doctors so that the food you take works as medicine provided you take them as per instructions. When you have a fever don't you eat light food ? Similarly we ask you to initially eat light food and then give you a diet plan which will not create toxins in your body. Please do not be under the impression that non veg food is not recommended in ayurveda ! As a matter of fact Mutton ( goats meat ), fresh water fishes, Partridge meat and antelopes meat are highly recommended. In fact chicken, pork and beef are not recommended as our stomach cannot digest these meats completely and they create toxins.

The doctor may ask you to avoid certain foods because they have the capacity to aggravate symptoms, while others are recommended because they have the capacity to not only alleviate symptoms, but aid in making the treatment more effective. If you follow dietary restrictions and a proper diet plan, you can avoid further deterioration of the disease and take a step closer to healing. This is regardless of whether you are taking Samskrt's Ayurvedic or some other types of treatment.

All our Ayurvedic preparations contain only herbal ingredients meaning Plant ingredients. Whether it is our Herbal Water decoctions ( Kashayams ), Herbal Jams ( Lehyams ), oils, Water decoctions with self generated alcohol ( Arishtams ), Herbs in clarified butter ( Ghritam ). How can something so natural be toxic?! In fact there is nothing more toxic than chemicals, and you take it readily without even putting a thought to it. All allopathic medicines have severe side effects, ayurvedic medicines don't! We may need to sometimes give herbo-mineral medicines to patients who have deep rooted diseases and who need quick action . Please note that these medicines are also made from natural minerals which are completely incinerated and hence become chemically organic. By the way all the foods that you eat also contain Trace minerals and so does your body. Your body needs trace minerals to function normally. We are made from the 5 elements including the earth which contain trace minerals doesn't it?

Our medicines are made from natural ingredients such as herbs and minerals. Often, herbal juices are mixed to make them more potent. The manufacturing process, which is supervised by expert Ayurvedacharyas, is designed to clean, purify and enhance the potency of the formula. Secondly, both the dosage of the medicine as well as the time it is consumed is very important. If taken according to the instructions of your Ayurvedic doctor, these medicines are safe and do not have side effects whatsoever.

Thirdly, Ayurvedic medicines work primarily on the root cause of the disease. Hence, just having the medicines is not enough. You need to follow a proper diet and lifestyle to control the condition and work towards healing the problem. For example, if you complain of a fever, you will be given Ayurvedic medicines to reduce these symptoms. At the same time you will be advised to stay away from food and drinks that are heating in nature which have caused toxins to aggrevate the condition.

If you do not follow the diet prescribed by the doctor, you may develop some problems as the root cause of many disease is poor lifetstyle and wrong diet. In todays world most people aern't aware of what is food. You may think these as side effects of the medicine when you have a little loose motions, but in reality, it will be because of your faulty diet and lifestyle and the toxins leaving your body. Make sure that you inform the doctor if you are allergic to any particular food or herb to avoid any complications during the treatment though.

Not all Ayurvedic medicines taste or smell bad. Even if they do, if you want to get fit and happy and healthy and productive and lead a disease free life, the taste of medicines is a small price to pay for right?! There are plenty of formulations that are not bitter but have a specific herbal taste, like sweet, pungent, tangy, and sour. The final taste of the medicine will depend upon the ingredients used to make it. At Samskrt we don't want to keep a patient for too long, we empower them and let them go after being treated of the disease. So we shall give you medicines only for a certain point of time. After that you will not need medicines all your life if you follow our daily detox methedologies.

For instance, we prescribe blood purifiers for skin diseases, which tend to be bitter. But that is only because the body and skin need a bitter/pungent tasting herb to effectively facilitate the cleansing process. In such cases, the doctor will suggest a medium like honey or butter or ghee or mishri (rock candy) to make the medicine more palatable.

It is important to remember that these medicines are formulated to get rid of your chronic disorders. While taking the medicines, you should be thinking about the relief you will get from the disease, and how it is bringing you closer to good health rather than being worried about its taste. After all, medicines are not manufactured for delighting your taste buds, they are meant to be effective in curing a disease or disorder.

We generally don't advise to immediately discontinue allopathic medicines if you are under treatment for conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, neurological disorders, arthritis, mental disorders and heart diseases. Besides, there is no harm in taking both types of medicines as long as you keep your Ayurvedic doctor informed. However, it is important to maintain at least an hour's gap between the two types of medications. In due course of time, depending on your progress, the Ayurvedic doctor will start to reduce the dose of the allopathic medicines. Make sure that you follow any advice or recommendation given by your Ayurvedic doctor regarding this process. Be empowered and learn the natural way of life towards a disease free life by Samskrt.
