Filed under: Alternative Medicines — Leave a comment
April 27, 2012

  • Acupressure is the most ancient and simplest of various oriental therapies such as acupuncture, shiatsu, zone therapy and reflexology which are prevalent today.
  • Each of these therapies strives to produce healing effects on the internal organs of the body through well defined points on the body surface.
  • Long term use of this therapy can be beneficial in chronic diseases also. Though acute results can be obtained in aches and pains.
  • Though easy and simple it is an effective treatment.
  • Anybody can take this treatment by himself in the privacy of his own home.
  • It is completely free from any side effects.

MAINTENANCE OF HEALTH THROUGH ACUPRESSURE

  • Health can be maintained easily by taking a regular treatment on the particular acupressure points every day.
  • A short acupressure session in the morning helps to maintain the balance of the energies flowing in the body.
  • Acupressure helps to increase vitality and strength. A regular application of pressure on acupressure points TSU-SAN-LI & YANG-LING-CHUAN gives strength to the muscles of the legs.
  • The heart and respiratory system work with increased efficiency by pressing the points NEI-KUAN.

DIAGNOSIS OF THE DISEASE THROUGH ACUPRESSURE

  • When any organ of the body is diseased the points corresponding to that organ become tender and morbidly sensitive.
  • If some points hurts on pressing it can be said that there is something wrong with the organ connected with that point.
  • In acupressure even in the initial stage of the disease the diagnosis of the disease is possible with the help of painful points.
  • It also helps to diagnose a disease which is likely to occur in near future.
  • Though it is true that early and differential diagnosis of a disease is possible with the help of acupressure, the patient is advised not to attempt to diagnose his disease on his own. The work of diagnosis should be left to an experienced physician.

CURE OF THE DISEASE

  • The principle of acupressure is “TREAT THE PATIENT AND NOT THE DISEASE ALONE”.
  • Diseases cure by acupressure
    • Constipation
    • Acidity
    • Thyroid disturbances
    • All sorts of aches and pains
    • Stress and its related disorder/ psychosomatic disorder
    • Speech and sleep disorder etc…………………
  • It should not be used in case of fractures, injuries, wound, mature cataract, gall stone, kidney stone.
  • “POINTS OF ABDOMEN SHOULD NOT BE TREATED IN CASE OF THE PREGNANT WOMEN”.
  • There are many acupressure tools available in the market which can be used.
  • Acupressure foot rollers, sandals, mates, belts etc………..
  • Acupressure can be combinely used with massage therapy also.
  • THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE ACCUPRESSURE POINTS:
  • POINT -1(LU-5)
    • Observe the faint crease that represents the elbow joint.
    • Now bend the elbow by about 45degrees, you will find a rope like structure at the centre of the front surface of elbow. This is the tendon of the biceps muscles of the arm.
    • Point 1 lies on the elbow crease, just near this tendon.

Magnet therapy and its Treatments

Filed under: Alternative Medicines — 2 Comments
April 14, 2012

  • Magnet therapy is based upon the principle that disease is the result of an imbalance or in coordination between the various electromagnetic forces present inside the body.
  • Magnet therapy strives to eliminate such in coordination and restore the natural balance of forces.
  • Thus magnet therapy looks upon a human being as a whole unit. Its aim is not mere symptom relief or palliation.
  • Magnet therapy is external mode of treatment which does not introduce any chemicals inside the body thus does not interfere with the various chemicals and enzymes present inside the body.
  • It is absolutely safe and harmless mode of treatment.
  • Magnet therapy is not a slow or a long term treatment, sometimes the results obtained are immediate and dramatic.
  • Magnet therapy is quiet simple and can be used in both genders and every age group.

The magnetic treatment for following pains/diseases is as follows:

(a)   KNEE PAIN

  • Apply North Pole and South Pole of the two strong magnets to the either side of affected knee for 15 min once a day.
  • Wearing a magnetic belt for 30 min once a day is beneficial.
  • Stick every night the north pole of one very small magnet on the muscular prominence between the thumb and the first finger (of any hand) and north pole of another very small magnet on the web between the second and the middle toes (of any foot) remove this magnet the next day.

(b)   INSOMNIA

  • Apply South Pole of curved magnet on the forehead for 15 min at the bed time.
  • Stick every night a very small magnet on the medial end of the wrist crease and remove it in the next morning.
  • Consume magnetized water in dose of 100-125ml at least 4 times a day.

(c)    CONSTIPATION

  • Apply the north pole of a moderately strong magnet for 15 min once a day.
  • Consume magnetized water in doses of 100-125ml at least 4 times a day.

(d)   BACKACHE

  • Place side by side north and south poles of two moderately strong magnet on the painful side of the back for 15 min once a day.
  • Alternatively a magnetic back belt can be worn for 30 min twice a day. This belt not only delivers the magnetic energy to the back but also immobilize the affected vertebrae.
  • Stick every night the north pole of a very small magnet on the center of the crease at the back of the knee joint, remove it the next morning.

Naturopathy and its Philosophy

Filed under: Alternative Medicines — 1 Comment
April 8, 2012

  • Naturopathy is a system in which the diseases are cured and prevented by all natural means.
  • Philosophy of naturopathy is “THE BODY POSSESS ITS OWN POWER TO PURIFY AND HEAL ITSELF”.
  • It also believes that “THE BODY AND MIND ARE INSEPERABLE i,e if one is disturbed it will surely affect the other”
  • So in treating the patient naturopath treats the patient as a whole and not the part of it.
  • It believes that for healthy livingenergy of five elements must be in equilibrium. They are:
  • Today many diseases and disorders are gifted by modern life style and stress to mankind. So the aim of the treatment is to correct the lifestyles, diet patterns, sleep patterns and to relive the stress.
  • Naturopathy believes that fundamental cure of disease is “INCREASING THE VITAL FORCE, RAISING THE VITALITY, PURIFYING THE BLOOD AND LYMPH STREAM, BREAKING UP THE WASTE MATTER AND REMOVING THE MORBID MATERIAL AND POISON THROUGH ELIMINATION”.
  • The cause of all disease is morbid matter and the cure of all disease is its elimination.
  • The modern naturopathic physician is a person familiar with the latest scientific findings not only in his own field but also in the general field of science and technology.
  • From this we come to fact that the progressive system of natural and rational method as therapeutic fasting ,the proper combination of natural foods and other dietetics and health measures , alternative therapies, allied science in short, the holistic way.
  • There is evidence of growing tendency in the day to day life of individual to deviate from normal or natural ways of life and to lean more on drugs for maintenance of health.

Nature cure has a very important place in any programme for the improvement of health by nation.

How alternative medicine can be a boon ?

Filed under: Alternative Medicines — 2 Comments
March 24, 2012

  • In India 70 – 90% of population lives in rural areas/ villages
  • India is an agricultural based country and so most of the population belongs to farmers group.
  • They always have to face the “FINANCIAL CRISIS” so cannot afford the modern medical expense.
  • In compare to modern medicine, alternative medicine is more affordable to them.
  • In India this system of medicine is used since ancient time so people of villages are more familiar with herbal medicines, hydrotherapy, mud therapy, and diet based treatments.
  • Many of the herbs and flowers can be grown in their own houses so they can be easily available to them.
  • In their daily routine they are mostly using the things which have a therapeutic value.
  • For most of their ailments they are using various herbs for the treatment which can be easily available from their kitchens.
    • Like GINGER TEA AND TULSI– FOR COMMON COLD
    • PUDINA LEAVES- FOR GASTRIC DISTURBANCES
    • HOT FOMENTATION– TO RELIVE PAIN
    • COLD COMPRESSES- TO RELIVE FEVER.
  • Poultice made up of wheat are more commonly used for pustules and abscesses. Its application helps in elimination of pus and hence SAVE THE PATIENT FROM THE EXPENSE OF ANTIBIOTICS as wheat can be easily and cheaply available to them.
  • In injury and wound, the paste made up of haldi and water is applied externally which gives the antiseptic effect and prevents the infection. So they do not have to PURCHASE THE LOTIONS OR CREAMS.
  • Tulsi leaves taken in early morning can boost up the memory so they do not need any treatment to improve the memory.
  • Paste made up of haldi, chandan and milk helps to solve the beauty problems, hence THE EXPENSES OF COSTLY COSMETICS ARE ALSO SAVED.
  • Drinking hot water on rising and at the bedtime helps to relive constipation.

By this way alternative medicine can be boon in country like India.

Alternative Medicine and Conventional Medicine despite using different techniques have the same goal, and that is to relieve suffering of mankind.

For ex:, Probiotic which are “Good bacterias” are prescribed to enhance our immune system in Conventional Medicine, whereas an Homoeopath will use Nosodes for the same result.

In Alternative Medicine, Cell re-generation is achieved by techniques like Diet/Nutrition Therapy, Homoeopathy, Reiki and so on…. To achieve the same, doctors of conventional medicine have come up with a different approach.
