Testimonial

When I first came to see Raman Das I had just begun to experience some menopause symptoms. I had never consulted this type of practitioner before and was somewhat reluctant to do so but a very old friend whose opinion I trusted told me of some very positive feedback she had received from a friend of hers who had been suffering with some similar issues.

While the most troublesome symptoms which I was experiencing at the time were the hot flushes, I was also having issues with my iron status; I knew that I was anaemic. Raman Das supplied me with some Ayurvedic medicines and I have to say that within a week or so my symptoms were minimised to the point of being bearable. Full recovery took about 14 months. Gradually, I felt more energy, my digestive system functioned better, my eyes looked clearer and brighter, and my skin dryness was gone. My mind now functions better and I have noticed that other parts of my body have benefited greatly from the treatment. I’m impressed that a treatment which was undertaken to tackle one complaint has enabled me to reach a whole new level of well-being.

Because of the effectiveness of the treatment I have been inspired to practice yoga daily; it’s not like the other exercises ever done before, and I love how it tones my body and improves my flexibility, and how its routines make me feel more in control and empowered.

When I first undertook these treatments I had no idea how long I would need to continue or what would be the eventual cost. When everything seemed more settled I decided to take a break from the menopausal treatments, and found that the mild flushes started to return. This convinced me to carry on with the treatment. I had developed a new way of looking at good health. I wanted to enjoy the kind of health that I had never enjoyed before, even when I believed that there was nothing wrong with me. I was further inspired to stick with Ayurveda when I returned from Vietnam with a serious stomach complaint. It took a couple of months to completely repair the stomach with the use of Ayurvedic powders; I am now on the rejuvenation stage.

While some of the medicines I have had to take have not been very pleasant there are no negative side effects and I am prepared to put up with the taste in view of the results that can be gained. At the age of 55 I have now reached a stage where I feel more empowered than ever before; I really feel that I do have my own health in my hands. Rather than simply being as well as I think I can be I have now realised that my expectations can be allowed to rise to a higher level. I now know that there is no need for the pains and problems that accompany aging to be regarded as inevitable. I enjoy the fact that most people now think that I am 10 years younger than my true age.

Enjoying all these unexpected benefits I am most grateful that my journey into Ayurveda with Raman Das’ help and guidance has led me to appreciate the need for such a truly holistic approach to whole body wellness. I feel that learning and talking about Ayurveda has shown me just how much we can do, with the right guidance, to help ourselves.
