Ayurveda and Astrology
Ayurvedic doctors, which think of the human organism as a micro-cosmos and know its connection to the macro-cosmos, widely use astrology in their practice. In order for them to treat the patient successfully, they have to know which planets affect the constitution and nervous system of the patient more than others, which resources are available and what perspectives await the patient.
Ayurvedic procedures themselves are connected to the phases of the moon, the season, and the time of day. For example, it is useless to conduct cleaning procedures in the phase of the increasing moon because at this time completely different processes are taking place in the organism, which neutralize the effect of the treatment.
When the doctor suggests the same method for everyone, without a proper reason, without considering the personality of the patient and his astrological characteristics, this means that the doctor is not a professional and is not interested in the success of the treatment. How can we determine whether the doctor is a professional or just someone who wants your money?
First of all, you need to talk to the doctor and his patients. Each Ayurvedic doctor has to say the name of his teacher. The teacher does not have to be from India the chain of succession is large and a real specialist is never ashamed of saying whose student he is and which doctors method he uses. A liar, who is pretending to be an Ayurvedic doctor, can be seen by his attitude towards money.
When a person just wants to get a lot of money and suggests different procedures with a very high price, you can make a conclusion that he probably has nothing to do with real Ayurveda. A real Ayurvedic doctor can always find an alternative and instead of, rose oil, which costs thousands of dollars, he will suggest palm oil with different herbs and additional components that will have a similar effect.
Just like European doctors, Ayurvedic doctors have several specializations. One doctor can specialize in choosing precious stones and pharmaceutical medicines, another one might be an expert in massage, and another one might be a good diagnostic doctor and can even find out the sex of a pregnant womans child.
A person can not be an expert in all fields because Ayurveda is a serious science, a philosophy, and a practical medicine. However, the most expert doctor, who knows almost everything, is the one who knows Panchakarma.
