Individualized manualized Ayurvedic intervention
The manualized intervention will begin with an initial clinic visit (approximately 90 minutes) with the Ayurvedic practitioner in which the patient's diagnosis will be determined, an overview of Ayurveda will be given, and the initial treatment will be recommended based on the Ayurvedic diagnosis. Follow-up visits will range between 30 and 60 minutes in duration. The treatment modalities employed in the study will include nutrition, lifestyle, yoga, and marma (a treatment similar to acupressure).
