and Western Medicine Diagnostic Systems |

| Diagnosis in Western medicine
(derived from the word "discern" in Greek) is based on the
patient's history, physical examination and laboratory testing. Case
history-taking is a tradition dating back to the time of Hippocrates
and a good physician is skilled at how, when and what to ask; if one
asks the right questions, the patient will almost make the diagnosis
in their own words for the physician. |

Shatavari - Ayurveda |
| One in seven couples in Britain has trouble
conceiving. Stress, pollutants in our food supply and water, long-term
use of the contraceptive pill, alcohol consumption and poor diet can
all be factors behind infertility. |
| Ayurveda
and Dental Health |
| Ayurveda classifies teeth bone or asthi
dhatu (bone tissue). The rishis (seers), founders of Ayurveda, gave
due importance to teeth as the key elements to a healthy body. Teeth
are like the guards at the main entrance to the body and are cut a
few months after the birth of our body. If we do not take care of
our teeth through proper eating habits and cleaning, they become a
hideout for germs. |

Ayurvedic Treatment and Lifestyle |
| In order to follow a balanced and healthy
life, Ayurveda suggests a specific daily routine for each individual.
This is based on the individual's basic body constitution (known as
"Dosha"). To be able to follow Ayurvedic principles, one
not only needs to take Ayurvedic herbs and massages according to one's
Dosha, but also follow an Ayurvedic lifestyle which suits that Dosha. |

DVD to any massage student. Especially when studying for exams. It
just makes sense!" "I often refer to this DVD in my own

a more complete and practical massage video". |
