Ayurvedic Practitioners practice this ancient Indian medicine through massage therapies and lifestyle changes that promote balance of the body, mind, and spirit. While there is no formal training required for Ayurvedic Practitioners, most suggest at least 1 to 2 years of training. Certification is available following a Certified Ayurvedic Educator program and such practitioners can obtain licensure for completing the CAE and the CAP (Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner) programs. An Ayurvedic Practitioner uses holistic techniques from India to help patients maintain a healthy life, eliminate impurities, reduce stress, and fight disease.

Through observation techniques that focus on the interconnectedness between body, mind, and spirit, practitioners assess the entire well-being of the patient. Ayurvedic Practitioners assess dietary habits, lifestyle choices, and mental states.

Once the cause of imbalance is analysed, the Practitioner draws from numerous treatments to find the best remedy. Each diagnosis is tailored to the individual and treatment can range from diet and lifestyle advice, massages, yoga, and meditation to herbal supplements, counselling, or specialized therapies. Practitioners may be self-employed, as well as work in a practice, wellness centre, or hospital.
