Hello XXXXXXX
Your confusions
1. This is but natural as when doctor don't know about Ayurveda and have not any experience of Ayurveda then he can't allow you. But you have to take decision. and One more thing is that you don't have to stop psychiatric medicines right now. you can to take along with that medicines.'
2. We are working as private level and we do not have this type of documentation and research work type documentation. So I can't provide it. '
3. In future if possible I will definitely make documentary on depression cured by Ayurveda. Thanks for giving me a good idea.
4. For Shirodhara I do not have any place in my knowledge, but you can find out through google search engine of Panchkarma Center. Mostly Big city will provide. But its not possible to do with online guidance. But you can watch youtube videos of shirodhara and if you can, I will advise for Oils for treatment.
