Testimonials

Rheumatoid Arthritis & Hypothyroid

I would like to send my deepest gratitude to all the staff and especially to Vishal for the care and support that I have received from Ayurveda Retreat. This is my second testimonial after my continued treatment which is now complete.

I started my treatment with Vishal over a year ago for my rheumatoid arthritis, under-active thyroid, sluggish digestive system and generally feeling lethargic and having low energy.

After my first set of five treatments of Abyanga with Pindeswada, Basti together with medication and herbal powder made up by Vishal, I was amazed and delighted how my body had improved and I felt so much more balanced and healthier. As you can read from my first testimonial my joint pains where 80% better, my bowel movement were becoming daily and  stomach bloating was 90% better. I was becoming more calmer in myself and less stressed, which meant my energy was also improving. Throughout this period, I was very careful with my diet and followed the diet plan and instructions given by Vishal. This was the main and most important change that I had  to make and adapt to.

I believed that continuing with the treatment, I would become stronger mentally and more in control of my own wellbeing and my aim was to make this change in my diet and lifestyle, a habit. I was very determined to learn more about my body and mind and at no cost was going to slip back into old habits. I therefore decided to continue with another set of five treatments, as above. I also knew that Vishal’s advice and guidance was very valuable for me, he was my strength and he helped me to believe in myself and believed that I could be cured.

Throughout the second set of treatments, my rheumatoid arthritis is now 100% better, my bowels are daily and I do not suffer from any bloating. Occasionally, due to the cold damp weather or if there is a change in routine, my arthritis and bowels can be disturbed however this is bought back into control purely by itself by my diet and the instructions given by Vishal. 

My under-active thyroid continued to improve and by the end of my treatment I was no longer taking any medication for this.  For over 10 years I was taking 100mg of thyroxine and was weaned off this as my health improved, this was monitored closely by my own GP through regular blood test. My energy levels are higher and I am so much more confident and happier.  I am now in control of my body and aware of what it needs to remain healthy and strong. I have learnt with the guidance from Vishal to be mentally calmer, positive and stronger.   Vishal believed and trusted in me, and I too have found this in me.  It is hard and difficult to let go and change your ways; and I have really had to practice and train my mind and body to have been able to succeed. My pranayam, meditation and yoga classes were necessary to be more peaceful within, which was also a major part of my healing.

Ayurveda Retreat has been a big part of my life and always will be. I received so much support, kindness and guidance from Vishal, the therapist and staff, in order for me to heal and allow my true self to shine. I have build a strong foundation from within and feel very confident in taking good care of both my body and mind; and concentrating on keeping my thoughts positive and happy. After all ‘You Are What You Think’ and ‘You Are What You Eat.’

I feel very blessed and fortunate to have been guided towards Ayurveda Retreat. I am now a changed person on a journey to a healthier, peaceful and happier life. 

From the bottom of my heart, Thank You Vishal, all the therapist and staff for everything you have done for me. I admire and give praise to all the care, support and commitment you give in helping people like me to get better and giving them belief. Takes someone really special and loving to be able to do this.

I can be contacted on 01375 374064.

With much love
Jagruti
