Course of the treatment and general recommendations:

I would only recommend an Ayurvedic treatment with Dr. Gupta if you have previously dealt with the subject of Ayurveda, have enough time (3-4 weeks), and generally want to change your lifestyle. After the treatment you should take another week to arrive back in Germany.

The Ayurvedic treatments go very deep and are very intensive. The effects on body, mind and soul should not be underestimated. Not to forget that in India you are in a completely different culture.

Ayurveda with Dr. Gupta is not a wellness program like you might book in South India, but rather traditional Ayurveda, in the simplest terms with very clear rules.

Ayurvedic medicine is particularly recommended for chronic illnesses, for patients who, according to conventional medicine, have "no treatment" or where nothing can be found!

Treatment process example:

Arrival in Nadiad; You can be picked up from the airport and driven straight to the hospital.

Admission by Dr. Gupta or assistant doctor, therapy plan drawn up depending on the length of stay. As far as I know, Dr. Gupta only does complete Pancakarma treatments (classic Ayurvedic detoxification treatments) starting at 4 weeks - if contraindications have been ruled out, e.g. B. Age, illnesses.

Panca means "five", karma are the individual elimination processes. These include: vomiting therapy (vamana), laxatives (virecana), enemas (bastis), nasal cleansing (nasya) and blood cleansing (rakta-moksana).

The hospital is located on the Ayurvedic College campus. There is also a student dormitory, the hospital's pharmacy, an intern house and the private house of Dr. Gupta. You should not leave the campus during the treatment. Dr. Gupta doesn't like it when you go into town. For your own safety and to contribute to the success of your treatment, I would adhere to the hospital's rules. Smoking is strictly prohibited and there is no alcohol in the state of Gujarat anyway!

• 7.00 a.m. Breakfast (A cup of milk + a spoon of Chayavanaprash - paste that contains everything you need, is not for everyone, I like it)
• 7:00 a.m. Yoga and meditation with Dr. Kalapi until around 7:45 a.m. in the group
• Between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. visit with Dr. Gupta and his team
• Treatments depending on the therapy plan
• Around 12.30 p.m. lunch - always vegetarian and unfortunately not very varied, usually potatoes or rice with some vegetables and dal (lentils) with chapatis (small pancakes); During a Pancakarma treatment there is special restorative food on appropriate days.
• In the afternoon, treatment or “therapeutic boredom”.
• Dinner around 6 p.m., similar to lunch
• Most patients are in bed by 9 p.m

In addition to the manual treatments (which work differently than in Germany!), there are corresponding herbal preparations - depending on the indication. It can be powder, tablets, decoctions or lepas (topics). Herbal medicine is the heart of Ayurveda and above all Dr. Gupta attaches great importance to the quality and production of his preparations. He has almost all of his oils and medicines manufactured in his pharmacy.

In general, it can be said that in North India there is not as much emphasis on manual therapies as in South India.
Every 1-2 weeks there is a meeting of European patients with Dr. Gupta. In the afternoon/evening you can ask questions or clarify problems.

Dr. Gupta always tries hard to answer all your questions and make your stay as pleasant as possible. I would like to note at this point that Dr. Gupta is always there for you when time allows, but the psyche is not as important in India as it is here in Europe. You must never forget that you are in an Indian hospital with an outpatient clinic that is open twice a week and where around 200 patients are seen by Dr. Gupta at any given time. In addition to the outpatient clinic, normal hospital operations must be maintained. You are a patient like any other Indian, you also pay the same. Normally 2 weeks of Ayurveda treatment in a hotel (e.g. Kerala, South India) costs around EUR 2,500!

Dr. Gupta is my teacher and for me an authority in the field of Ayurveda. He works traditionally and faithfully to the classic texts. Ayurveda is the oldest medical system in the world and dates back to around 2000 BC. Dated. He tries to combine conventional medicine and Ayurveda as best as possible or to use conventional medical diagnostics. He is strict and sometimes seems unsympathetic - he has a strong faith, like almost all Indians, and his stories and metaphors make you think!

If you want to go to India, you should familiarize yourself with the country beforehand (it is a developing country with different traditions and a different way of life, partly very poor), you should find out about Ayurveda or have tried it more intensively beforehand and you should speak some English.
