Ms. Thompson, a 45-year-old woman, presents with fatigue, weight loss, and occasional abdominal discomfort. She reports a history of type 2 diabetes and takes medication to manage her blood sugar levels.
The Ayurvedic practitioner conducts a physical examination and pulse diagnosis to determine the underlying cause of Ms. Thompson’s liver issues. They observe that her pulse is weak and irregular, indicating an imbalance in the vata dosha. The practitioner also determines that Ms. Thompson’s diet and lifestyle choices, such as consuming high-sugar foods and leading a sedentary lifestyle, may be contributing to her liver disease.
