An initial Ayurvedic consultation is long, usually 60 to 90 minutes, and in the UK costs £80 to £150 depending on the practitioner's qualifications and location. Consultations with a qualified Ayurvedic doctor are at the upper end. Follow-up consultations of 30 to 45 minutes are typically £50 to £90. Herbal preparations are charged separately, usually £20 to £60 a month.

Therapies

Abhyanga, warm oil massage, is typically £70 to £120 for 60 minutes. Shirodhara is £80 to £130. Combined Abhyanga and Shirodhara sessions and other treatments such as Pinda Sweda or Kati Basti sit in a similar range. Courses of five or more usually reduce the per-session price.

Panchakarma treatment cost in the UK

Outpatient programmes of five to seven days typically cost £600 to £1,500 including therapies and doctor supervision; longer programmes of two to three weeks cost more. Residential programmes abroad are priced differently and are not necessary for most people. Read what Panchakarma involves before comparing programme prices.

What affects value

Practitioner qualification matters more than in most therapies, because Ayurveda involves herbal prescribing and dietary advice that should be given by someone properly trained. A doctor-led consultation is worth choosing where herbs or a complex history are involved.

Are Ayurvedic treatments regulated in the UK?

Not by law in the way doctors and physiotherapists are. Ayurvedic practitioners are not statutorily regulated in the UK, so standards depend on training and voluntary professional membership. Manufactured herbal medicines sold in the UK should carry a Traditional Herbal Registration (THR) mark or a product licence from the MHRA. Always tell your GP about any herbal remedies you take, and do not stop prescribed medication without medical advice.

How to choose an Ayurvedic doctor in London

Ask about formal qualifications in Ayurvedic medicine, professional membership, and whether the practitioner will work alongside your GP. At Omnia, consultations are with Ayurveda doctor Dr Athira Anilkumar, with Dr Palitha Serasinghe leading the Ayurveda team.

Insurance

Ayurveda is rarely covered by UK private health insurance. Some health cash plans contribute to massage-based therapies. We provide receipts on request.
