Naturopathy

  • Naturopathy treatment is a practice of treating diseases by prescribing natural medicines. It is a form of treatment which emphasizes the tendency of the body to retain a sense of balance and cure itself. Naturopathy treatments are non toxic and stimulate healing and cleansing responses in a patient. Naturopathy involves diagnosis and prescription of modalities and methods of nature. Naturopathic medicines mainly include water, earth, air, light, heat and diet therapy.

Message Therapy

  • Massage Therapy, a combination of science and art, provides a relaxing experience by artistic hand strokes on the body to rejuvenate the mind and body and eliminate stress scientifically. The concept of massage is evident throughout history. The origin of the term ?massage? can be traced to four sources: Greek - masso/massein, meaning to touch or to handle, also meaning to knead or to squeeze
    Latin - massa, lifted from Greek masso and means the same
    Arabic- mass'h or mass, means to press softly
    Sanskrit- makeh, also means to press softly

Acupunture

  • Acupoints used in treatment may or may not be in the same area of the body as the targeted symptom. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory for the selection of such points and their effectiveness is that they work by stimulating the meridian system to bring about relief by rebalancing yin, yang and qi (also spelled "chi" or "ki"). This theory is based on the paradigm of TCM and has no analogue in western medicine.

Bach flower

  • Bach thought of illness as the result of "a contradiction between the purposes of the soul and the personality's point of view." This internal war, according to Bach, leads to negative moods and energy blocking, which causes a lack of "harmony," thus leading to physical diseases. Rather than being based on research using the scientific method, Bach's flower remedies were intuitively derived and based on his perceived psychic connections to the plants. If Bach felt a negative emotion, he would hold his hand over different plants, and if one alleviated the emotion, he would ascribe the power to heal that emotional problem to that plant.

Magnet Therapy

  • Magnet therapy, magnetic therapy, magnetotherapy, or magnotherapy is an alternative medicine practice involving the use of static magnetic fields. Practitioners claim that subjecting certain parts of the body to magnetostatic fields produced by permanent magnets has beneficial health effects. Magnet therapy is considered pseudoscientific due to both physical and biological implausibility, as well as a lack of any established effect on health or healing.[1][2][3] Although hemoglobin, the blood protein that carries oxygen, is weakly diamagnetic and is repulsed by magnetic fields, the magnets used in magnetic therapy are many orders of magnitude too weak to have any measurable effect on blood flow.

Aromatherapy

  • Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a person's mood, cognitive function or health. The effectiveness of aromatherapy is yet to be scientifically proven, however some evidence exists that essential oils may have therapeutic potential. Since some essential oils such as tea tree have demonstrated anti-microbial effects, it has been suggested that they may be useful for the treatment of infectious diseases. The evidence base for the efficacy of aromatherapy used to treat medical conditions remains poor with a particular paucity of methodologically rigorous studie

Homely Medicine

  • In this study, we explore how specific individual, family, and family-within-community characteristics, as well as aspects of in-home family therapy, relate to responses to treatment. The Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale scores and Global Assessment of Functioning scores were used as outcome measures. Results revealed significant differences between pre- and post-scores for clients receiving in-home family therapy services, providing an initial indicator of treatment success. In addition, primary family caregiver social support, role performance in school/work, and self-harmful behavior were indicative of successful outcomes. Clients with higher problem levels had the greatest rates of change, and clients receiving more hours of services fared better in therapy.

Gem Therapy

  • In this mechanical world, the life is full of stress and strained and these often disturb us. Where as every body desires peace and prosperity in life? There are various options such as allopathic medicine, homeopathic medicine, ayurvedic, holisticpathy, yoga, naturopathy etc. to help us. The gemstone therapy is one of the ancient & natural science followed in India million years ago but lost in transition, does now gearing up with better understanding. This therapy is harmless with no side effect, and may resolve many forthcoming issues for the control of problems aroused. The disappearance of this science in the last few centuries appears to be associated with two reasons: - the leaders in each society knew the concepts but did not pass on to others for one reason to other. The cost of gems and their rare availability. However this science remained in the hands of limited people.



Yoga Therapy

  • The most important benefit of yoga is physical and mental therapy. The aging process, which is largely an artificial condition, caused mainly by autointoxication or self-poisoning, can be slowed down by practicing yoga. By keeping the body clean, flexible and well lubricated, we can significantly reduce the catabolic process of cell deterioration. To get the maximum benefits of yoga one has to combine the practices of yogasanas, pranayama and meditation.

Acupressure

  • The body and all matter is made up of electro-magnetic forces. It was ironically western scientists who ingeniously verified the existence of electro-magnetism which provided a logical explanation for the positive results from acupuncture and acupressure therapy.It has a rapport with the energy of the body and can travel through the body like other forms of electricity, sound, and waveforms of energy. Acupressure massage can be very effective both as prevention and as a treatment for many health conditions. Acupressure techniques have been used to provide quick, cost-free, and effective relief from many symptoms

Herbopathy

  • People on all continents have used hundreds to thousands of indigenous plants for treatment of ailments since prehistoric times. Medicinal herbs were found in the personal effects of Ötzi the Iceman, whose body was frozen in the Swiss Alps for more than 5,300 years. These herbs appear to have been used to treat the parasites found in his intestines. Anthropologists theorize that animals evolved a tendency to seek out bitter plant parts in response to illness.

Reiki Healing

  • In Western Reiki, it is taught that Reiki works in conjunction with the meridian energy lines and chakras through the use of the hand-positions, which normally correspond to the seven major chakras on the body. These hand-positions are used both on the front and back of the body, and can include specific areas (see localised treatment). According to authors such James Deacon, Usui used only five formal hand-positions, which focused on the head and neck. After Reiki had been given first to the head and neck area, specific areas of the body .

Electro Homeopathy

  • Electrohomoeopathy is a derivative of homeopathy that had its origins in the 19th century with the claims of Count Cesare Mattei. The name is derived from a combination of electro (referring to an electric bio-energy content supposedly extracted from plants and of therapeutic value, rather than electricity in its conventional sense) and homeopathy (referring to an alternative medicinal philosophy developed by Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th century). Electrohomeopathy has been defined as the combination of electrical devices and homeopathy, however some contend that it is the therapeutic use of homeopathic preparations .

Traditional Medicine

  • Traditional medicine (also known as indigenous or folk medicine) comprises medical knowledge systems that developed over generations within various societies before the era of modern medicine. Practices known as traditional medicines include herbal, Ayurveda, Siddha medicine, Unani, ancient Iranian medicine, Islamic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Muti, Ifá, traditional African medicine, and other medical knowledge and practices all over the globe.

Hypo Therapy

  • A person who is hypnotized displays certain unusual characteristics and propensities, compared with a non-hypnotized subject, most notably hyper-suggestibility, which some authorities have considered a sine qua non of hypnosis. Hypnotherapy is often applied in order to modify a subject's behavior, emotional content, and attitudes, as well as a wide range of conditions including dysfunctional habits, anxiety, stress-related illness, pain management, and personal development.

Diet Therapy

  • Diet would seem to be something our body requires on a physical level to build new cells, to give us energy, to ease hunger, our diets are most important to feed our brain and our heart so we can maintain life. The choices we make of which foods we put in our bodies sets the basis for physical, mental and spiritual health Every single moment of every single day from the moment of our birth, our bodies strive for life - long, energetic, healthy, happy life. We are beautifully designed to live and to live fully! (Thank you God!) We are for sure the most sophisticated "vehicle" on this planet. Every single moment we are building bone cells, muscle cells, liver cells, pancreas cells, brain cells, skin cells and so on. In a one year time frame we rebuild and replace every single cell in our bodies. The catch here is, what quality of raw materials are we putting in while we are building all these cells?
