Consultations

Clinical activity has been a central pillar of SAMA from the outset, and has been developed at medical level by Dr. Simone Hunziker in collaboration with partner institutions in India. In 2021, it has been handed over to Cameda, the ayurvedic medical clinic in which Dr. Hunziker continues to practice.

The consultation in Ayurveda focusses on root cause diagnoses and treatment of acute and chronic diseases. The therapeutic tools are internal and external administration of medicines (based on plants, animal products, minerals and metals), on manual treatment techniques, on deep elimination procedures, on nutrition, lifestyle and mental hygiene. The clinical activity of SAMA has been entrusted to Cameda Ltd. The principles of clinical out-patient practice are exposed.

Ayurveda medicine has access to early diagnoses and treatment. The medical consultation will lead to an ayurvedic diagnosis and define the corresponding treatment line, based on the prescription of therapeutic products through oral and external administration. If indicated the patient is referred to a specialized physician or for ayurvedic in-patient treatment.

Principles of clinical out-patient practice

The medical consultation is practiced by the doctor or practitioner in Ayurveda. The human being is understood as an inseparable whole of “body, mind and spirit” and individual singularities are given much importance. 

By means of a detailed patient history and a clinical examination, supplemented if necessary, by para-clinical examinations, the diagnosis is determined according to the principles of Ayurvedic medicine. A diagnosis of academic medicine can be established in parallel. Existing diagnoses and medical reports are taken into account and ongoing treatments are respected. According to Ayurvedic principles, the therapeutic strategy will consider the constitution of the patient, age, vital force, psychic strength, the quality of digestive fire and tissues as well as individual pathophysiological disorders.  

Therefore, a complete consultation in Ayurveda requires time as well as optimal collaboration and compliance of the patient throughout the therapeutic process.   

The treatment involves prescription of Ayurvedic medicines, manual techniques (involving medicinal preparations), deep elimination procedures, individualized nutrition and lifestyle therapy, and psychological coaching according to the millennium old understanding of mind and spirit in Ayurveda. It has an important component of individualized education for specific health promotion and disease reduction through mental hygiene, lifestyle and nutrition.  

The pathologies treated with Ayurveda are numerous. The practitioner respects the indications and contraindications for any therapeutic action, and If required, indicates Ayurveda hospital treatments or refers the patient to a specialist. Part of the health advice and the manual treatments can be delegated to a therapist, while supervising the proper management of the care. 

Consultations and supervision sessions are held with senior clinical experts.
