INFORMED CONCENT FORM FOR AYURVEDIC TREATMENT
All clients who participate in Ayurvedic Health Care at Vedic Cure Ayurvedic Clinic are advised of the following information:
1. Ayurveda is the traditional healing system from India and is based on the idea that each person’s path toward optimal health is unique. My program is based on an understanding of my unique constitution and the unique nature of my imbalance. My program may include lifestyle adjustments, dietary changes, herbs, yoga/meditation, Ayurvedic therapies, aromatherapy and therapeutic massages. The goal of all programs is to create within my body and mind an optimum environment for healing to take place and to maximize my body’s ability to heal itself.
2. Ayurveda generally is considered safe. Most advice and treatment is non-invasive. Serious side effects or invasive treatments are rare; less than one per 10,000 treatments. In rare cases Ayurveda may be associated with adverse reactions in individual cases. If I experience any adverse side effects I should seek medical attention.
3. Apart from the usual medical details, it is important that I let my practitioner know:
• If I have ever experienced a fit, faint or 'funny turn'
• If I have a pacemaker or other electrical implants
• If I have a bleeding disorder or heart problem
• If I am taking anti-coagulants or any other medications
• If I am under treatment for diabetes or high blood pressure
• If I have any major medical problems or handicaps
4. Vedic Cure Ayurvedic Clinic is a complementary medical facility and not a General Practice.
5. Gurpreet Singh is an Ayurvedic Practitioner and not Medical Doctors.
6. If I am suffering from a disease or symptom that has not been evaluated by a Medical Doctor or another licensed health care professional, it is recommended that I receive a proper evaluation.
7. No one in association with Vedic Cure Ayurvedic Clinic may recommend altering my medical prescriptions without the approval of my medical doctor. My Ayurvedic Practitioner may suggest that I speak to my doctor about reducing medications when he/she feels that it is appropriate.
8. While my Practitioner may take my blood pressure and vital signs and perform some examination techniques similar to a routine medical examination, my Practitioner is evaluating the findings from an Ayurvedic perspective only and not from a Western medical perspective. This examination does not take the place of a medical evaluation. If as a result of the examination, any finding suggestive of a possible medical condition is found, my Practitioner will refer me to a Medical Doctor for further evaluation.
9. I understand that the administration of Ayurvedic treatments could directly or indirectly result in minor adverse effects and or temporary discomfort including, but not restricted to, light headedness, dizziness, nausea, emesis (strategic vomiting), purgation (strategic intestinal evacuation), loose stools, fatigue and hopefully bliss while experiencing and/or recovering from the above detoxifying and purgative procedures. I do not expect Gurpreet Singh to be able to anticipate and explain all risks and complications. I wish to rely on them to exercise judgement which they feel at the time is in my best interest, based upon the facts known during the course of the procedure.
10. I further acknowledge that I am not seeking or undergoing Ayurvedic treatments as a result of any inducement or representation or promises made by the Ayurvedic practitioner or any other person in the clinic. I wish to proceed freely and voluntarily with such treatment and authorize Gurpreet Singh to proceed with such treatment with the full and informed consent on my part of all the relevant facts as set forth in this consent form. This consent shall apply to my initial and all subsequent Ayurvedic treatments.
I have had an opportunity to discuss with Gurpreet Singh the nature and purpose of Ayurvedic medicine. I understand that results from any treatment are not guaranteed.
