Importance of Breathing in Health & Healing

Filed under: Alternative Medicines — 1 Comment
July 20, 2012

  • A person can live without food and water for some days but can’t live without air for few seconds.
  • The lungs are the purifiers of our system. They pump in the oxygen and pump out toxic carbon dioxide.
  • In diseases like Asthma and bronchitis the normal pattern of breathing changes, it also changes after great physical activity when it becomes rapid and deep.
  • There are several breathing exercises which help to ventilate our lungs for maintenance of good health.
  • Different emotions have different impact on breathing pattern.

E.g. when angry, excited, fearful, depress breathing takes a different pattern.

It also changes during and after the sexual act.

  • Proper breathing is greatly important for toning up physical and mental health.
  • In yoga and all kind of meditation different breathing patterns are used.
  • Importance of breathing is greatly described in Dr Joseph Pilets’ therapy.
  • Breath is the bridge between the body, the senses and the mind and our aim must be to strengthen this bridge for healthy living.
  • Due to our modern busy life schedule we breathe only 1/10th of our oxygen requirement and use approximately 1/3rd of our lung capacity.
  • There are 3 distinct types of breathing

(1)   Clavicular or upper breathing

(2)   Thoracic or middle breathing

(3)   Abdominal or deep or diaphragmatic breathing.

Hi,

This article is an follow-up post of my previous published article on Color Therapy and Reiki. https://curesbyreiki.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/colour-therapy-reiki/

Though Reiki is defined in many terms by different people like “Atmospheric energy”, “Universal Energy”, “Dynamic Energy” and so on.

Having spiritual angle, doesn’t mean, Reiki has no logical connection with physical body or its functions.

Attached link here, serves two purposes, it shares detailed information on Chakras / Associated Glands / Organs and much more, and also its Association with Colors.

Sciatica Info

Filed under: Spine Diseases — 1 Comment
June 15, 2012

Sciatica is a symptom and not a disorder or disease itself.

It is actually a result of Sciatic nerve Irritation. In Sciatica, the patient has to suffer extreme and unbearable pain. In my practice, I have treated many patients suffering from Sciatica. Results have been seen from a Minimum of 1 to Maximum of 10 sittings wherein  60-80% of the pain subdues during the same. Along with Reiki, I also prescribe using Hydrotherapy ( Foot bath of alternate temperature) for its Treatment.

Attached below is a useful link from Wikipedia.

Following is a very Basic/Crisp info on Color Therapy
  • Colour therapy or chromo therapy is based on the principle that our life is full of colour and so our health and mood are greatly influenced by it.
  • Bright colours in the surroundings can make us feel joyful, happy etc…
  • Dark colours in the surroundings will have depressive effect on the person.
  • In this therapy different colours are used according to body and disease requirement.
    • Like for insomnia patient sky blue colour lights are used.
    • In asthma patient is placed under the blue or violet light and red colour water is given to drink every 15min until the attack subsides.
    • In constipation yellow colour is used in any form.

EFFECTS OF THE DIFFERENT COLOURS:

  • Sky blue- mild sedative effect
  • Red – excitement and energetic
  • Orange– joyful
  • Yellow- positivity in mood
  • Green – king of colour
  • In this therapy colours are introduced in the body in the form of fruits and vegetables also.
  • METHOD FOR PREPARING COLOUR WATER:
    • Water is filled in air tight colour bottle and kept in sunlight for charging.
  • Patients are placed in the glass cabin made up of coloured glass and colours are allowed to pass from the open window on the body as per the requirement.
  • Various oils can also be charged like water and are used for the massage.
  • SOME EXAMPLES OF CHROMOTHERAPY:
    • Abdominal pain – warm blue water every 15min
    • Baldness and hair falling – wash the head with blue water. After drying apply blue oil to the scalp. Exposure of scalp to sunlight through blue colour glasses.

Hi,

Following article is a good source of information for health care providers and care givers of people with stammering and great treatment options are also described in this article, but finally, i would like to request everyone concerned that Stammering is an disorder and NOT just an emotional outburst .What actually should be done by us is Practice/Improvise our listening skills, because the person who stammers also has a heart which beats and a mind which thinks. They too have something to speak and that is what needs to be listened & understood.

ACUPRESSURE

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.
  • POINT-2(LU-6)
    • Joint the point 1 and 3 with a straight line. Point 2 lies on this line, five thumb width below the elbow crease.
  • POINT-3(LU-7)
    • This point lies on the outer border of the forearm, two finger widths above the wrist joint.
  • POINT-4(LU-9)
    • This point lies at the outer end of the wrist crease.

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.
