Ayurvedic health assessment with expert Ajay Singh

For the assessment, Ayurvedic expert Ajay Singh uses the Rogi-Roga Pareeksha method, which combines disease detection with a thorough examination of the individual.

Ayurvedic diagnosis and subsequent treatments differ from conventional medicine in that a doctor diagnoses solely based on the disease (roga), whereas Ayurveda considers the individual as a whole — body and mind (rogi). A comprehensive examination not only ensures an accurate diagnosis but also allows for personalized treatments for each guest.

Ajay Singh evaluates the whole body, as Ayurveda believes that every individual carries the energy necessary for healing, helping the body achieve a healthy, balanced state.

One of the most important diagnostic tools is the Ashtasthana Pariksha, an 8-point examination that includes:
• Nadi (pulse)
• Mutra (urine)
• Mala (stool)
• Jihwa (tongue)
• Shabda (sound)
• Sparsha (touch/skin)
• Drik (eyes and vision)
• Akriti (overall body appearance)
This method provides a complete and thorough assessment and aids in both diagnosing and predicting health issues.

Instead of focusing solely on treating the disease or prescribing medicine, the Ayurvedic expert emphasizes techniques that strengthen the body’s inherent health and support recovery. This is called Svabhavoparamavada, reflecting the Ayurvedic principle of helping the body use its own energy to heal.

Treatments and herbal remedies are essential components of the process, but they support the body’s self-healing rather than replace it. In Ayurveda, disease arises from an imbalance of the doshas. Determining a patient’s dosha and identifying the root cause of a condition requires precise knowledge gained through years of study.
