Hot Flushes

I went to see Jyothi because i was experiencing hot flushes, i had already seen a homeopath and naturopath to no avail. After only a week i stopped having the flushes and they haven’t returned. As a result of the medicines she gave me I sleep better, my indigestion is better, and i also feel alot more calm, balanced and happy. Jyothi is very caring and knowledgeable, she is very affordable. I recommend her to all my friends.

Lichen Planus

Dear Jyothi,
Thanks so much for your skilled help over these many months. I appreciate it so much. When I first came to you with my auto-immune skin condition called Lichen Planus, I was quite anxious over the implications for my future and troubled by symptoms affecting key aspects of my body, particularly the lips and mouth. Not only did you locate the source of the problem but you also gave sound dietary advice and effective medication, so that now I am scarcely troubled at . Added to that, you provided medication which quickly dealt with a long-standing cholesterol problem. So many thanks,

Overall health and wellbeing

Dr Jyothi Menon, I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge, expertise and genuine care which you have given me as an Ayurveda practitioner.
I have been going to Dr Jyothi’s clinic since May 2013 and continue to do so, to improve my health and well-being in general. In particular Dr Jyothi has been treating me for weight loss, sinus, headaches, arthritis, insomnia, digestion, skin improvement and a few other menopause related health issues.
I have received “Shirodhara” treatment several times, along with the right balance of prescribed herbs, tonics, and easy home remedies. The overall affect has been phenomenal. I feel more energetic, calm and learning to flow with life.
Dr Jyothi Menon has a warm and kind approach when discussing any health and well-being concerns. Her holistic approach to healing is very comforting and encouraging. I have become more aware and responsible in looking after my health and well-being.
Thank you Dr Jyothi, I salute you!

Poly Cystic Ovary Disease and Type 2 Diabetes

I was diagnosed as PCOS and diabetic type 2 In march 2013. I was so disappointed about it and discussed with some of friends when one of my friend suggested Ayurvedic treatment is the best cure. So I googled to see if there is any Ayurvedic centre closer to me and I found Doctor jyothi’s in Glen Huntly. I called and booked and appointment in early April. Doctor Jyothi recommended some medication which I have been using for about 5 months now. It’s really effective and I got my period back regularly within a month and my body weight dropped up to 8kg in 4 months. My blood sugar level is quite normal. I’m so excited and energetic. Besides I have been doing walking and yoga to reduce my weight. Doctor Jyothi is guiding me and taking good care of my health and solving my doubts from time to time. Thanks to Dr. Jyothi

Anxiety

I am a 44 year old mum of 4 boys. I was having trouble staying asleep at night, I had poor digestion and most recently some mild anxiety. When I mentioned the anxiety to my GP, she immediately suggested a course of mild anxiety medication. For a second opinion, I sought out Jyothi Kunnatheri’s advice because I instinctively felt that I needed to address the balance of my body rather than treating the symptoms of an imbalanced one.
Jyothi’s manner is very genuine and empathetic, whilst being highly professional and thorough. She listens, takes time, and explains everything. The course of treatment we pursued was gradual but systematic, deep and holistic. I began by taking ayurvedic medication to cleanse the system; then underwent a series of hot oil treatments, complemented by restorative medications suited to my particular system. At the same time Jyothi guided me through various lifestyle modifications including, but not limited to sleep, diet, exercise and timeliness.
Within a week or two I began to feel distinctively calmer, was sleeping better and my stomach was no longer bloated. My friends commented on how clear and glowing my skin was – I hadn’t noticed. By the end of the hot oil treatments I was noticing a change in my thought patterns. I felt very grounded and stable and of course the energy in our home changed too as I had many more resources – patience, empathy etc., to give my kids.
I don’t believe in magic cures. I didn’t expect that I could take something to eliminate all the issues I was having without making any changes myself. There are times when I feel I lose my balance a bit – school holidays, family occasions… I don’t make the time to exercise, I forget to drink enough water, go to bed late etc.
However, when used in conjunction with changes that I can make myself, Jyothi’s treatment is very far reaching and powerful. What was interesting to me was that by bringing the body into better balance, I could access other aspects of myself I had never experienced. I think I was accustomed to believing that I could ‘fix’ problems by talking them through, working them out in my mind. But I have seen now how ayurveda, with a highly trained and skilled doctor like Jyothi, can make changes on many levels without one realising, and affect both the more material aspects of body and the subtleties of mind very significantly.

Teenager – stress and headache

Dear Jyothi,
Thank you for checking on us…Vicky is doing very well….she started off taking all the medicine and drinking the tea for about ten days…then we had visitors for a week and consequently forgot all about it:(
She is back taking it since Saturday….BUT: you have made such a difference to her life and I wanted to thank you very very much…..just by talking to her about how she “could do anything she puts her mind to” and how you told her about the positives of moving around…
She has mad the decision to do that….she is so positive and she often tells me that she can do anything she puts her mind to … Like she swallowed the tablets …. It was such a great experience for her…for the very first time she has managed to swallow a tablet:) Her headaches have mostly gone … We have been doing yoga 2 a week and she continues doing the neck rolling exercises every now and then ….
So, thank you very much again, and I will encourage her to take the rest of the tablets and drink the tea….and I will be in touch.

Insomnia, Stress

Dear Dr Menon,
when I first came to see you I had difficulty sleeping and felt drained throughout the day. Now after only a few weeks I am sleeping soundly and waking up very refreshed. I have more energy in the day. I also have a condition were my gum are inflamed and very sensitive to touch, again the herbs you prescribed have made my gums less sensitive. I feel that they will only continue to improve and strengthen. Thank you so much for your help and your very caring nature.

VIN 3 ( Vulval Intraepithelial Neoplasia )

I wish to record my resounding support of, and high praise for Dr Jyothi’s work as an Ayurvedic doctor. She has effectively healed my many physical health problems, after many years of no help through western medicine, and this includes, very importantly, vulvar cancer, a bowel-bladder fistula, and Lichen Sclerosis.
I was diagnosed with VIN3 in December 2011. My gynaecology oncologist told me that full-blown vulvar cancer would manifest within the next year, if not sooner, given the lead time from the first onset of symptoms (Lychen Sclerosis). The only option I was given was to have at least a partial vulvectomy. I told him that I would be following an Ayurvedic diet, and Ayurvedic treatments.
During a lengthy stay in Melbourne over a few months, and after much careful research, I found Dr Jyothi, and started seeing her. I was drawn to Dr Jyothi because of her interest and specialty in Ayurveda in the treatment of women’s health issues.
Dr Jyothi’s extensive knowledge and experience in Ayurvedic medicine was evident immediately. Dr Jyothi has a compassionate and caring nature, and she explores beyond the obvious and complicated physical symptoms of my health issues. I am no longer staying in Melbourne, and Dr Jyothi has been working with me via emails and phone-calls. Just one year from first seeing Dr Jyothi, the vulvar cancer symptoms no longer occur, my bowel-bladder fistula has completely healed, and ten years of severe bowel problems following the original bowel surgery, have also been corrected.
I cannot recommend Dr Jyothi and her Ayurvedic treatments highly enough.
