Healing Traditions
There is a spiritual source in India which is at this time exerting a
powerful influence on the Western world. In contrast to the Western System
of Medicine, Traditional System of Healing in India, as in other ancient
cultures, approach thickness as a dynamic event in the life of an
individual. It is this result of this harmony between the sick person and
his/her environment. Under this approach to understanding illness, "the
disease" itself has no independent reality.
More and more people are moving away from modern medicines and turning
towards traditional, also refereed to as "alternative", systems of medicine.
Today one can choose from various systems of alternative medicine, be it
Acupuncture, Aromatherapy, Meditation, Ayurveda, Unani medicine, Mud
therapy, Pranic healing, Reiki method, Tibetan medicine and many more.
Nature has given us abundant resources to help us replenish our bodies and
restore it to health. It is time for us to reclaim our trust in these
healing processes of life.
Ayurveda
It literally means 'the science of living', Ayu meaning life and Veda
meaning knowledge. It is a system of medicine that provides guidance
regarding food and lifestyle so that people can maintain an optimum state of
health.
Ayurveda aims at removing the cause of illness and not just curing the
disease itself. Based solely on herbs and herbal compounds, Ayurvedic
remedies do not operate against the body's metabolism. Their effect is
registered gradually resulting in minimum side effects.
Ayurvedic holidays are best experienced in the state of Kerala & Uttaranchal
in Himalayas. Here, an entire range of experiences await body, mind & soul
with options for rejuvenation & therapy.
Many resorts such as Ananda Ayurvedic Health Resorts in the
Himalayas(Rishikesh), The Coconut Grove & Somatheeram Ayurvedic Beach Resort
follow traditions passed down generations. Treatment for ailments like
arthritis, paralysis, obesity, sinusitis, migraine, premature ageing &
general health are offered in many resorts & Ayurvedic centers.
Panchakarma
This five-fold purification therapy aims at correcting the imbalance of the
body's Doshas or bio energies (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) in order to maintain
their inherent equilibrium and Ama, which forms as a result. Panchakarma
therapy has three main stages : Poorvakarma, Pradhanakarma and Paschatkarma.
Poorvakarma, the first stage, comprises essential preliminary procedures for
preparing the body to unload stored toxins. The treatment help to loosen Ama
(toxins) and move it out to the deep structures into the GI tract, where
Panchakarma's cleaning therapies can then eliminate it. Pradhanakarma is the
second stage and includes the main cleansing therapies. Paschatkarma is the
final stage and describes the measures employed after the main treatment,
such as diet, medicines and daily routine.
