Bach Flower Remedies: This method was devised by Dr. Edward Bach, a trained qualified western practitioner in hsi search for a "natural" treatment for mankind's illnesses. This system consists of 38 different flower essences extracted in mother liquor and stored. Each of the essences reflects behaviours and attitudes that can be corrected by using the same. A combination of 5 to 6 such essences is prescribed to be taken daily for a period of 1 to 2 months. A remarkable cure can be seen in almost all cases. this system very well compliments all alternate forms of healing and has absolutely no side effects.
Acupressure: This system is good for one to practicce
self-healing as well as treat patients. The system utilizes the
various acu-points on the body and gentle pressure is exerted using
the thumb and fingers or special probes are also used. When used on
oneself this has a limitation of accessibility of body areas. A
professional may be able to help by giving an entire session of
acupressure with selection of points depending on the disease
condition. Like acupuncture, the treatment extends to a few days
over multiple sessions to effect a cure. The difference from
acupuncture is that deeper points cannot be accessed and
acupressure is given to various points sequentially
and not simultaneously.
Homoeopathy:
This system of medicine was developed by Prof. Samuel Hahnemann
with the adage "Similima Similibus Curare" or "Like cures
Like". The system involves usage of various potencies of solutions
of mineral salts and plant extracts as well as venoms and hormones.
One of the most important aspect of preparing the appropriate
potency for administration is called "succession" or
"potentization" wherein the dilution in a glass phial is struck
against a hard object several times. The final dilution would have
untraceable parts of the original chemical, but has recently been
shown to be present in a nano-scale. this could also explain the
way this system works wonders specially in chronic cases, skin
disorders and musculo-skeletal problems.
Naturopathy:
This is the science of healing the body through natural means using
the diet as the main intervention. The human gut is the largest
organ in the body and serves to provide nutrition and nourishment
to the body. Almost all diseases have a link to the gut in one way
or other. Healing consists of attending to the diet with a topmost
priority. Naturopathic healing starts with strict vegetarian diets
consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables sparse in salt, spices
and oil. Once the internal system is set to a detox mode, the
external body is treated with various types of massages, mud packs,
jet baths, sauna and such other modalities that help expunge toxins
from the body. This utilizes the large surface area of the skin
that helps heal the human system.
Ayurveda:
India's ancient system of medicine with over a 5000-year history is
as proven and successful as Traditional Chinese Medicine. In fact
one finds references to acupuncture-like therapy in the
Sushrutha Samhita. (Recent findings of very old
ola-leaves referrring to acupuncture in Sri Lanka also
point to possibly a Indian connection in the chinese art !!).
Ayurveda recognizes the sapta dhatus and the equilibrium of
tri-doshas as being responsible for optimum health. Treatments are
manifold aimed to restore the harmony and equilibrium in the body.
Extensive knowledge is available for treatment of amlost all types
of diseases. Even surgical care that was once prevalent as per the
Sushrutha samhita is nearly non-existent today, except for
Kshara sutras and the like. Apart from treating diseases,
maintanence of health is given utmost priority by methods like
panchakarma that involves special diets, medicines, oil
massages and medicinal enemas. The efficacy of ayurveda in treating
some of the ailments like strokes, chronic arthritis, skin
disorders, obesity and such other chronic conditions is remarkable
and striking.

Yoga: The

India's spiritual and philosophical treasures and have a huge
following across the world. The asanas or postures
combined with breathing techniques called pranayama treat
the body as a whole and lend healing to the physical,
physiological, mental - emotional, intellectual and spiritual
sheaths of the body. Meditation is
closely associated with yoga and involves using repetetive
chantings or Mantras along with focus on the breath or
internal visualizations, done with the eyes closed. The whole
