What Ayurvedic medicine actually is

What Makes Dr Reena Sohal Distinctive
Ayurvedic Training
Conditions Supported by Ayurvedic Care
Seven Clinical Areas
Integration with Dental Care
Five Intersections
Dr Reena Sohal is an Ayurvedic practitioner (Diploma Ayurvedic Therapist, Ayurveda Pura London 2017, trained under Dr Deepa Apte) who also holds a BDS (Liverpool 2006). Her full credentials: BDS, Liverpool University 2006; Diploma in Advanced General Dental Practice, Birmingham University 2013; Diploma: Ayurvedic Therapist & Ayurvedic Diet and Lifestyle Consultant; GDC Registration 104355. She provides Ayurvedic consultations only and does not see dental patients.
Ayurvedic consultation at DWL may support stress, burnout, and nervous-system regulation; digestive function and oral microbiome; skin conditions; sleep disruption; postnatal recovery; hormonal transitions; and chronic inflammatory patterns. Each area is addressed through dosha-based assessment and personalised protocols.
The mouth is an extension of the digestive system in Ayurvedic understanding. Practical integrations include: chronic gum inflammation (dietary protocols supporting gum health), jaw tension and bruxism (vata-pacifying practices, alongside any splint your dentist provides), bad breath (digestive assessment), dry mouth (nervous-system regulation), and pre-/post-dental procedure support (Ayurvedic preparation for anxious patients).
Start with a free 20-minute initial chat to assess fit. Book an initial consultation (60-90 min, £75) for constitutional assessment, pulse reading, and personalised protocol. You leave with a written summary.
After the initial consultation, many patients implement the protocol independently. Others choose follow-up reviews (£50, 20 min) for periodic adjustment. Sustained work (monthly sessions for 3-6 months) is available for complex cases. For hormonal transitions, see our perimenopause care page.
Coordinate with DWL dental and wellness work: many patients combine Ayurvedic consultation with sports massage, somatic therapy, nutritional therapy, or dental hygiene. We coordinate scheduling and practitioner discussions with your consent.

Ayurvedic care sits alongside conventional medicine and dental care under one roof — complementary, never a substitute for GP-led care. For one common transition, see our guide to perimenopause.

Our happy patients,
in their own words

★★★★★

Highly recommend their current teeth whitening deal. Very accommodating and lovely service. Will be back! ***Updating after completing my Invisalign to recommend again. My teeth are now super straight and Doctor Patel and his team are simply the best. Amazing service. So happy I’ve found such a good dentist.

Clare

★★★★★

I’m based in Dalston and was super self-conscious about my slightly twisted teeth. Looked at clear aligners vs Invisalign at different places but Dental & Wellness London’s expertise won me over. They used 3D tech to show exactly how my teeth would shift. Appointments were always on time, easy to pop over from Dalston. Finished with whitening and now I love smiling in photos.

Questions
people ask

If your question isn't answered here, call reception on 020 8127 4567 or email reception.

Is Ayurvedic medicine regulated in the UK?

The UK doesn't have a single regulatory body for Ayurvedic practitioners. Voluntary professional associations (CNHC, APA, BAMC) provide registration. Reena's training is via Ayurveda Pura London, an established UK training institution, alongside her GDC-registered dental practice.

Can I see Reena for Ayurveda even if I don't need dental work?

Yes. Many patients book Ayurvedic consultations independently of dental work. The dental side of her practice is separate; the Ayurvedic consultation stands on its own.

Is Ayurveda compatible with my current medications?

Usually yes, but with caveats. Some Ayurvedic herbs interact with prescription medications, particularly blood thinners, immunosuppressants, and certain psychiatric medications. Reena reviews your medication list at consultation and flags any interactions.

Will Reena perform pulse reading and other traditional clinical assessment?

Yes — pulse reading, tongue assessment, and observational diagnostic methods from the Ayurvedic tradition are part of the consultation. These tools sit within the Ayurvedic framework; they're not used as substitutes for medical diagnosis.

How is Ayurvedic medicine different from naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a broader Western tradition without a unified theoretical framework. Ayurveda is a specific traditional medical system with its own theoretical framework (the dosha model). DWL offers both — Reena for Ayurveda, Nicoletta for naturopathic approaches.

Can children have Ayurvedic consultations?

Reena's DWL practice is adult-focused. For children, we refer to qualified paediatric Ayurvedic practitioners with specific paediatric training.
