Anorexia
Sarah (26) was a nurse but had to give up her job when her anorexia, which had been developing over a six year period, worsened. Her Ayurvedic treatment focused initially on the recovery of her AGNI (digestive fire and metabolism) and a body building programme. She was treated with Ayurvedic preparations, MARMA PUNCTURE and was advised to practise yoga and meditation. Within six months of this treatment she regained her vitality and more than two stones in weight and she was eating properly again.
