"For several
years I’ve referred patients to Dr. Mitchell for a full
spectrum of chronic health problems, including digestive
and respiratory disorders and chronic pain. My patients
have experienced remarkable results when they take
advantage of Dr. Mitchell’s combined expertise in
chiropractic, acupuncture and the use of herbal
remedies. Many of these patients have not responded well
to traditional drug therapy and others prefer to avoid
pharmaceuticals.”
— Michael S., M.D.
“When I started seeing Dr. Mitchell on the advice of my
family doctor, my diarrhea was so intense, immediate and
unpredictable that I was becoming afraid to leave my
house. Within two weeks of Ayurvedic and acupuncture
therapy, my digestive problems were nearly eliminated,
and the immediate relief I experienced has only
stabilized through the past year…. The resolution of my
skin issues has been just as remarkable. Within three
months of taking the Ayurvedic herbs, my dermatitis
cleared up, freeing me of intense itching, burning and
raw oozing of my skin. But my best testimonial was yet
to come. Shortly after I began treatment I suffered from
diabetic retinopathy, the bursting of a retinal vessel
in the eye causing blurring of the vision. The standard
remedy is laser surgery. However, within three months of
Ayurvedic therapy, my ophthalmologist determined that my
sight had ‘spontaneously’ restored itself, and that
laser surgery will not be necessary.”

Ayurveda
Ayurveda, the
oldest known system of medicine, provides yet another view
into the patient’s state of health and offers effective,
powerful solutions to chronic problems. Literally translated
as “the science of life,” Ayurveda, the traditional medicine
of India, is more than 5,000 years old. Like acupuncture,
Ayurveda is recognized by the World Health Organization for
its effectiveness in treating chronic health problems.
Dr. Mitchell utilizes unique and insightful methods of
Ayurvedic assessment, such as nadi vigyan (pulse diagnosis),
and makes recommendations for diet, lifestyle and nutritional
supplementation based on his findings.
Dr. Mitchell often recommends Ayurvedic herbal remedies that
gently bring the body into balance without creating
undesirable side effects.
Shirodhara
Shirodhara is one of the great purification and rejuvenation
therapies of Ayurveda. A very simple and relaxing treatment,
it is one of the best known therapies for calming the nervous
system, and it gives the recipient a healthy glow.
Shirodhara in the Sanskrit language is composed of two words:
“shiro” and “dhara.” “Shiro” means head and “dhara” means
flow. The patient lies on his or her back on a flat surface
with head back and a rolled towel or pillow beneath the neck
for support. A continuous stream of warm oil is poured slowly
over the center of the forehead for 20-25 minutes. Typically,
the entire session lasts about 50 minutes, including a brief
head massage and rest time following the treatment.
This purification therapy is not only meant for elimination of
disease-causing toxins, but also replenishes the tissues with
nourishment. Rejuvenate literally means “to make young again.”
In Ayurveda, rejuvenating therapy is the golden way to attain
longevity, as it is aimed at the preservation of health.
