Healing Systems in India

¤ Traditional Remedies

Ever since we could foresee our death, we have sought the means to forestall it. Our mistake has been in thinking that the key to longevity must be exotic: elixirs, rare herbs or some alchemical formula.

We tend to ignore that the human body does react to nature’s ever-changing moods and that human life is but only a link in the great web of Life.


¤ Ayurveda

‘Harmony is health’, is what Ayurveda preaches. This is India’s age-old science of medicine which illumined many, like the early Greeks and Arabs who were so awed that they went ahead and borrowed from it. Ayurveda in India was at its glorious best in the age of rishis (Hindu ascetics) and rajas (kings). Our ancient masters and physicians knew exactly how to be hale and hearty till a ripe age, which would be nothing less than a century! Traces of the science have filtered down the centuries, and are being revived in a big way these days. But most people tend to think of Ayurveda as an alternative system of medicine, which it is not. It is a way of life.


¤ Yoga

"The wavering, restless mind goes wandering on… you must draw it back, and have it focused every time on the soul."
Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita

The whole world is talking about yoga these days. In the west people are increasingly casting a keen eye on relaxation and meditation, essentials of the ancient Indian tradition of yoga. The knowledge of yoga comes to us originally from the Vedas. The idea then developed and branched into a whole lot of other texts and philosophies. The yoga that is most well known today is the Hatha Yoga of bodily positions called asanas.


¤ Homeopathy

Homeopathy is based on the principle of "like healing like " ( Simile Similibus Curentur); homeopathy believes that a sick person’s symptom are sings of the body’s battle against illness and they try to stimulate, rather than suppress his reaction. A homeopathic remedy is given to cure a set of symptoms in a sick person, which it would cause in a healthy person. The treatment was discovered some 200 years ago by a German doctor, Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann.

Conventional drugs are usually prescribed in individual capacities to act upon specific parts of the body, so it follows that several different drugs might be prescribed to treat the various symptoms of one individual. Homeopathic medicine offers an alternative .


Healing Systems in India ¤ Acupuncture

Acupuncture is probably one of the oldest therapies still in practice and is perhaps the most frightening to the layman. It is a technique in which metal needles are used to puncture selected points of the body and induce stimulations by various manipulation methods

The earliest success in this therapy is recorded by a historian of the Han Dyansty (206 BC -220 AD ) where a doctor brought a patient out of coma by applying acupuncture needles. The doctor was Pein Chueh, who later summed up his forerunners’ medical experience and set forth diagnostic methods. The story started with stone needles and later nine metal needles (four of gold and five of silver) were discovered from graves dating back to the second century BC.


¤ Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy heals in a easy and gentle way. and what’s more, the ‘treatment’ is not just for your physical problems, but for your mental and emotional problems as well. Aromatherapy is one of the oldest forms of natural therapy practiced in India, and also in Egypt and China. Way back in 1000 BC, people used aromatic oils and plants to adorn their bodies and for physical and mental well being, for religious purposes and for mummification. With a rekindling of interest in the ‘natural way of life’ people are once again turning to aromatherapy, the most natural and beneficial of all forms of naturopathy. Aromatherapy is not to be confused with herbals or nature cure, the latter being the wider domain.


¤ Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a century old healing disciple that fell from favour about 40 years ago, when drugs and technology became the norm. But recent years have seen the revival of naturopath’s popularity, as more people have become disillusioned with conventional medicine. The appeal of naturopathic physicians is that while they have an educational background similar to that of conventional MD's, they also take extensive course work in various alternative remedies.


¤ Herbal Healing

Herbs are as old as the first blade of grass on a cooling earth and so is herbalism - a curative science that was practiced extensively by the flourishing centres of civilization. Written record of history bear testimony to their use in the earliest known times. One of the longest medical paypri - Papyrus Ebers, dating back to the second century B.C. describes various ailments and their herbal remedies like myrrh, cumin, peppermint, caraway, fennel, olive oil, etc. Licorce was possibly a prized herb as it was discovered in abundance from the tomb of king Tut that dates to 3000 B.C. The earliest Chinese book on medical herbs, written around the same time epitomises ginseng, besides listing numerous other herbs. The Arabs, Greeks, Persians, Babylonians and Romans were adept in herbal healing.
