How Ayurvedic Assessment Works Over Video
The honest question, answered
Ayurveda is well known for pulse reading, and pulse reading needs a hand on a wrist. So it is a fair question: how can an Ayurvedic consultation possibly work over a video call?
Here is the straight answer. Classical Ayurveda does not rely on the pulse alone. It uses an eightfold examination of the patient, Ashtavidha Pariksha, and a threefold method: Darshana (observation), Prashna (structured questioning) and Sparshana (touch). Two of those three methods work perfectly well over video. One does not.
What is assessed directly on camera
- Jihva Pariksha: the tongue. Shape, coating, colour and texture, which show the state of digestion and the accumulation of ama.
- Drik Pariksha: the eyes. Colour, shine and clarity.
- Akriti Pariksha: build, complexion, posture and facial features.
- Shabda Pariksha: the voice and the breath: rhythm, strength, and the sound of the breathing.
What is assessed by report
- Mutra and Mala Pariksha: the state of urine and stool, which in an Ayurvedic assessment are important indicators of digestion and metabolism, and are discussed rather than examined even in the clinic.
What genuinely cannot be done over video
- Nadi Pariksha: the pulse. It requires touch, and video cannot replace it.
- Sparsha Pariksha: feeling the temperature and texture of the skin directly.
How this is compensated for
When touch is unavailable, the assessment leans harder on Prashna, meaning structured questioning, and on the broader tenfold assessment (Dashavidha Pariksha), which examines your constitution, your digestive capacity, your strength and stamina, your tolerances and your temperament. Almost all of that is established through careful questioning, not through touch. In practice this means your telehealth consultation involves more detailed questioning about digestion, sleep, energy, appetite, elimination and stress than an in-clinic appointment typically would.
And the honest bottom line
For most long-standing concerns, such as digestion, sleep, skin, stress, energy and women’s health, a video consultation gives Raman Das what he needs. For some cases he will tell you plainly that he would rather see you in person, and if you are within reach of Gordon he will say so. That judgement is made on the free 10-minute call, before you have paid anything.
Serving Every State and Territory
Raman Das consults by video across the whole of Australia:
- New South Wales: Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Central Coast and regional NSW

If you are in a rural or remote area with no Ayurvedic practitioner nearby, telehealth is not a compromise. It is simply how you get access to one.

What You Need, and How to Prepare
What you need:
- A phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone.
- A reasonable internet connection. If video drops out, the consultation can continue by phone.
- A quiet, private space where you can talk freely.
How to prepare:
- Sit in good natural light, facing a window if you can. Raman Das needs to see your tongue, eyes and complexion clearly, and poor lighting is the single most common problem in a telehealth consultation.
- Do not scrape or brush your tongue that morning, so the coating can be assessed.
- Avoid coffee, a heavy meal or hard exercise in the hour beforehand.
- Have your medications and supplements with you, and any recent blood tests or medical reports.
- Note down the two or three questions that matter most to you.

Not ready to book? Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I have an Ayurvedic consultation online in Australia?
A: Yes. Raman Das Mahatyagi consults by secure video to every state and territory in Australia, and internationally by arrangement. The consultation runs the same way and takes the same time as an in-clinic appointment.
Q: How can an Ayurvedic practitioner read my pulse over video?
A: He cannot, and it would be dishonest to claim otherwise. Pulse reading (Nadi Pariksha) needs touch. But classical Ayurveda uses an eightfold examination, not the pulse alone. Your tongue, eyes, complexion, voice and breathing are all assessed on camera, and the assessment leans more heavily on detailed structured questioning about digestion, sleep, appetite, elimination, energy and stress. For most long-standing concerns this gives him what he needs. Where it does not, he will tell you.
Q: Is a telehealth consultation as good as coming in person?
A: For most concerns, yes. For some, Raman Das would rather see you in person, and he will say so. That judgement is made on the free 10-minute call, before you pay anything.
Q: What does an online Ayurvedic consultation cost?
A: The same as in clinic. An initial 60-minute consultation is $139; follow-ups are $106 for 45 minutes, $81 for 30 minutes or $51 for 15 minutes. There is no telehealth surcharge. Herbal preparations are quoted separately.
Q: What platform do you use?
A: Cliniko’s telehealth platform. It is encrypted and confidential.
Q: Do I need to download any software?
A: No. You receive a secure link in your confirmation email and click it on the day. It runs in your browser.
Q: What equipment do I need?
A: A phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone, a reasonable internet connection, and a quiet private space. Good natural light matters, because your tongue and eyes need to be clearly visible.
Q: What if my internet drops out?
A: The consultation can continue by phone. You will not lose your appointment or be charged twice.
Q: Which parts of Australia do you serve?
A: All of them — every state and territory, metropolitan and regional. If you are in a rural area with no Ayurvedic practitioner nearby, telehealth is simply how you get access to one.
Q: I’m in Perth. Do the times work?
A: Clinic hours are Sydney time, and Perth runs two to three hours behind depending on daylight saving. A 10.00am Sydney appointment is 8.00am in Perth in winter, 7.00am in summer. Tell us when you book if the available times do not suit.
Q: Can I get herbs delivered to me?
A: Yes. Any recommended herbal preparations are made up after your consultation and posted to your address anywhere in Australia.
Q: Is Ayurveda covered by Medicare?
A: No. Ayurvedic consultations are not a Medicare-rebatable service in Australia. Some private health funds provide cover for natural therapies, but this varies by fund and has changed in recent years. Check directly with your fund before booking.
Q: Do I need a referral?
A: No. You can book directly.
Q: Can I book from outside Australia?
A: Yes. Call +61 2 9499 7164 or Request a call back to arrange a time that works across time zones.
Q: Can I have a follow-up by phone instead of video?
A: Video is preferred, because the tongue and complexion can be assessed. For a short progress review where nothing has changed, phone may be sufficient — ask when you book.
Q: Will this replace my doctor?
A: No. Ayurvedic care at Yatan is intended to work alongside your conventional medical care. Keep your GP informed, and never stop prescribed medication without your doctor’s advice.
Q: What if I’d rather come to the clinic?
A: You are very welcome. The clinic is at Suite 28, 924 Pacific Highway, Gordon NSW 2072, on Sydney’s North Shore.
Q: How do I book?
A: Call 1300 552 260, message WhatsApp on +61 410 476 099, or Request a call back. If you would like to talk first, book a free 10-minute call.
