Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Ayurvedic doctors in Sydney?
You have probably tried a few things by the time you land here. Our Ayurvedic doctors start differently, working out why your body is out of balance and treating that instead of chasing each symptom. The Ayurvedic Wellness Centre has done this in Bondi Junction since 2011, so you are in experienced hands.
Do I need a referral to see an Ayurvedic doctor in Sydney?
No referral or waiting list. You can book online or call the clinic on 410 315 465. The team is available 7 days a week from 10AM to 7PM. Zoom consultations are also available if getting to Bondi Junction is difficult right now.
What qualifications do your Ayurvedic doctors hold?
Our qualified Ayurvedic doctors are experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide range of health concerns. Dr. Taruna Yadav holds a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery from Maharishi Dayanand University in India. Dr. Deepika Kaushal works extensively with herbal medicine and acupuncture therapy, focusing on chronic and complicated illnesses.
What is a B.A.M.S. degree?
B.A.M.S. stands for Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery, the full medical degree in Ayurveda taught at Indian universities. It takes five and a half years, including a hospital internship, and covers anatomy, physiology and diagnosis alongside classical Ayurvedic texts.
Are Ayurvedic doctors registered or regulated in Australia?
Ayurveda is not one of the professions registered under AHPRA, so there is no government register the way there is for GPs. Practitioners are instead accountable to their professional body, and our Ayurvedic doctors are registered with the Australasian Association of Ayurveda.
Can Ayurvedic doctors treat my condition instead of conventional treatment, or alongside it?
Alongside, in almost every case. Ayurvedic care complements what your GP or specialist has prescribed, and you should keep taking their medications. Tell our Ayurvedic doctor what meds you’re taking, and tell your GP about your Ayurvedic treatments, so no one is working blind.
What is the AAA and does membership mean anything?
The AAA is the Australasian Association of Ayurveda, the professional body for Ayurvedic practitioners across Australia and New Zealand. Membership means a practitioner’s qualifications have been checked and they have agreed to a code of practice, which in an unregistered field is the clearest signal you have. The Ayurvedic Wellness Centre is a member.
Can Ayurvedic doctors order blood tests or read my scans?
Your Ayurvedic doctor will not order pathology or imaging, as that is your GP’s role in Australia. But bring recent results because they help shape your treatment plan. If something in your history needs medical investigation, you will be told to see your GP rather than left wondering.
Do I need to prepare anything or bring my medical records?
Bring recent test results, a list of your current medications and supplements, and a rough sense of how you have been sleeping, eating and digesting. None of this is compulsory, so come anyway if you have nothing to hand. Wear comfortable clothes and eat lightly beforehand rather than arriving on a full stomach.
Can they treat children, or during pregnancy?
Yes, with adjustments. Children and pregnancy both call for gentler treatments, and some therapies (Panchakarma detox among them) are not suitable during pregnancy at all. Mention it when you book so the right doctor and the right treatment are set aside for you.
