| Allopathy
|
 |
As
said earlier, a certain type of mishaps need immediate
attention & instant correction for which allopathy
is ideal. The instance may be surgery, fracture, severe
infection etc. In such cases Allopoathy is indispensable,
hence they are referred to allopathy. Suitable medicines
are prescribed and diagnostic tests too are told to
be done if required |

| Ayureveda |
|
An ancient science of medicine originated
in India.
It propounds that not only the ill man must be treated
but also a healthy man must be told how to maintain
his health.
At the core of Vedicure's treatment is ‘Ayuredic
Panchakarma’.
It cleanses, rejuvenates body-mind-spirit and restores
the tri-dosha (Vata-Pitta- Kapha) balance of functions. |

| Panchakarma
( Five Karmas or Five Actions) |

emesis. It is induced by introducing certain herbal
medications. It acts by eliminating body toxins via
oral route. It stimulates appetite and improves digestion.
Virechan- Therapeutic purgation.
This acts by eliminating body toxins via anal route.
It cleanses bowels and restores normal function.
Basti- Therapeutic enema or colon
hydrotherapy. A herbally medicated concoction is introduced.
It acts by regulating bowel & bladder habits. It
cleanses bowels thoroughly thus greatly restores platform

body toxins by nasal route. It improves sensory-motor
function of the head-neck-face region. Improves memory

Rakta-Mokshan-

There are other Ayuredic treatment as well like Shirodhara,
Netratarpan, Uttar Basti & many more.
Ahar (Dietary Habits) & Vihar (Lifestyle) are two
another important aspects of Ayurveda. |

| Acupuncture
& Acuptressure |
 |
It may look like Acupuncture is inserting
needles just under the skin & Acuptressure is inducing
hand or thumb pressure on different parts of body, but
it just isn't merely that. According to the theory of
' Acupuncture & Acuptressure, our body has many
'Junctions', 'Points' & 'Terminals' where many 'paths'
meet or through which many 'Channels' originate or intersect.
One type of such pathway can be seen in terms of the
nerve fibers. But there are other types of pathways
which are not solid in matter. In fact they are invisible
to our eyes. They are 'Energy pathways'. During our
lifetime, these 'Lines' keep on getting distorted, displaced
or weakened. And a disorder or illness results. By introducing
Acuptressure and/or Acupuncture the flow of energy is
restored & so is health. |

| Yoga |
 |
Yoga is proven extremely effective in
not only preventing number of sicknesses, but also in
treating them successfully.Yoga is fast gaining recognition
across the globe as well. Vedicure too incorporates
healing powers of yoga in its treatment. It may consist
of Asanas (Special body postures), Pranayam (Breathing
Techniques), Shuddhi Kriya (Cleansing Methods), Dhyaan-Dhaarana
(Meditation) & Omkar pathan (Spiritual chanting).

| Physiotherapy |
 |
This a combined approach of therapeutic
electrical modalities & physical exercises towards
prevention and treatment of various usual problems like
sciatica, back pain, neck pain, paralysis, knee pain,
shoulder stiffness etc. And also is the maintenance
of physical fitness of the body.
Many machines and apparatus are used in physiotherapy.
Also equally important are therapeutic exercises with
'Theraband' and Weight cuffs' which are extensively
used to enhance the effect of exercises and make the
patient physically fit. |
| |
| Reiki |
 |
The entire universe is a manifestation
of 'Cosmic Energy'. We humans are not an exception too.
In Japanese terms, This cosmic energy is called 'Reiki'
Being infinitely powerful and healing, Reiki can be
used to energize body system and heal disorders. It,
of course needs a Reiki Master or a Guru to officiate
or accord this energy to the subject. |
| |
| Music
Therapy |
 |
Everybody has experienced the healing
powers of music in his/her life. Music truly has the
ability to bring about measurable changes in one's life.
Music is one of the primeval vibrations of universe.
Dr. Anil Patil was one of the pioneers in Music therapy
in India and he became the first doctor to set up a
music therapy clinic. Later he brought in a revolutionary
concept of 'Hypno - Music Therapy' in which the healing
power of Hypnosis and music were converged. |
| |
| Hypnosis |
 |
Human brain has many consciousness levels.
'Alpha' is the most important one in which all the psychological
actions and reactions pose greatest effect on the awareness
hence on the human mind and body as well. Hypnotic trance
is a perfectly scientific and real state of mind that
gives tremendous peace of mind & pleasure. Using
this state, one can command the subconscious to think
or act in a certain way.
Self Hypnosis too is another part of Hypnosis. One can
learn it under the guidance of a certified teacher. |

| Naturopathy
(Nisargopachaar) |
 |
The entire universe is made up of ‘Panchamahabhootas’
or five quintessential elements. They are Prithvi (Earth
or solid matter), Aap (Water), Tej (Energy), Vaayu (Air)
& Aakash (Vacuum). Each & every object –
living or non-living – is made of the same. Human
body too classically represents this ‘panchamahaabhootas.
Disturbance in one or imbalance among them manifests
in disease. To cure this disease is to restore this
imbalance in the ‘Great Bhootas’. All that
is a direct offspring of nature is used as a therapeutic
object here. Even seemingly simple things like water,
soil, wind & sunlight is used.
There are many other elaborations such as streamlining
diet, fruit intake therapy, therapeutic enema etc. Different
kinds of ‘Special baths’ are incorporated
viz. ‘Bashp Snaan’ (Steam), ‘Kati
Snaan’ (Tub), ‘Pada Snaan’ (Foot),
‘Soorya Snaan’ (Sun). Different kinds of
mud packs too are a part of ‘Naturopathy’.
Elaborate ‘Serial Postural Prostrations’
called ‘Sooryanamaskaar’ (Sun- Salutations),
Brisk walking, Yoga are used to improve musculo-skeletal
coordination & physiological functioning.
As said earlier, all that is a direct offspring of
nature is part of naturopathy hence treatments in
‘Color therapy’, Magneto therapy’,
Aromatherapy’, ‘Musicotherapy’ are
naturotherapy treatments. |

| Osteopathy |
 |
Dr. Andrew Taylor (1878 – 1917)
from U.S.A. pioneered Osteopathy.
It attributes a wide range of disorders to mechanical
derangements of the skeletal system, which in ‘Osteopathy’
can be rectified by suitable manipulations. These manipulations
are executed on and through the joints, muscles, vertebrae,
ligaments & tendons. |
| |
| Magnetotherapy |
 |
Magnet has two poles viz. North &
South. By directing, aligning & re-aligning these
poles by placing magnet/s on body, number of disorders
can be alleviated.
‘Magnetized’ water
too is used in this therapy. Such water is formulated
by placing magnet/s of different power in sterilized
water for a certain period of time.
Magnetotherapy is found to be useful particularly in
managing Migraine, Arthritis, Spndylosis, Asthma, Hypotension,
Eczema as well as Digestive, Nervous & Kidneys disorders.

| Chiropractic |
 |
In spinal disorders like Spondylosis,
Spondylitis, slipped disc etc. complete or incomplete
dislocation takes place.
Chiropractic is a manual movement of the vertebrae to
relieve the impingement due to discomfort in or incomplete
dislocation of the vertebrae.
Chiropractor believes that many diseases are due to
interference with nerve flow. He corrects & aligns
the flow with systematic & skilled vertebral manipulation.

| Colortherapy |
 |
Every color creates a unique feeling
in us & it is not as simple as it sounds. Green
soothes & refreshes our enervated eyes. Sky blue
creates a feeling of beautiful calmness. Orange reminds
us of enthusiasm while white is a symbol of peace. Each
color has a different wavelength & our ‘Visual
Modality’ responds to it in a particular way while
‘Visual Modality’ poses strongest impact
on our mind. Hence if right permutations & combinations
of color are used, they can support a mainstream treatment.
In the later half of the 19th century, Edwin Babbit
after extensive research wrote a book named ‘The
principles of light & color’. According to
him, the color red energizes nerves, Blue & purple
has anti-inflammatory properties.
Max Luther – a psychology professor – substantiates
the same theory. |
