  • 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.

  • 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.

Cell Re-generation


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.

An Extract from the attached link :

Heart surgeon, Dr Mehmet Oz, has worked with Julie Motz who used Reiki with his patients. These patients had received heart transplants and had experienced open-heart surgery. She treated 11 patients in total and none of them had the usual post-operative depression. The bypass patients had no post-operative pain or leg weakness and the transplant patients experienced no organ rejection. Julie Motz has written about this experience in her book, ‘Hands of Life’.”

DETAILS:

 

                                  My patient was an adolescent girl who was brought to me by her parents for treatment. During her first consultation the first thing which was very obvious was her restlessness; at the extent, she refused to stay seated at one place. She was totally un-cooperative and started crying when I interacted with her. She disallowed physical examination and tilted her head away every time.

Despite her strong rejection, I tried performing chakra’s examination. Disturbance was found in CROWN and THIRD EYE chakra mainly. I also decided to give reiki on THROAT and HEART chakra, as patient had communication problem and emotional disturbances. As autism is a neurological disorder, CROWN chakra; called as brain chakra, is the most important chakra to be considered for this treatment, as the brain possess power to control all our bodily functions. THIRD EYE chakra is located in between the two eyes and controls all emotional and endocrinal functions. It is well known for controlling anger and emotional disturbances. THROAT chakra is located in neck and is used to treat problems related to communication and speech. HEART chakra is located in heart and is complimentary to third eye chakra.

The treatment started as 45 minutes of daily DISTANCE REIKI, as she was not allowing me to treat her by placing my hands on her. After few sessions of distance reiki, she got convinced to accept Reiki by touch. She started behaving calm and her restlessness was reduced to a lot extent. Later The sessions started ending with her deep sound sleep every time.   

After few more sessions, her parents reported her reduced anger and easy expression of views. After few more sessions she started getting conscious of herself and tried being more vocal instead of earlier use of “SIGN” language. Her frequency of cries and emotional outbursts reduced phenomenally. She started choosing colors and one day I got amazing news from her parents that she has now started approaching outsiders too.

Continued reiki sessions also resulted in her increase of concentration. She became more alert of herself. She started following suggestions of her parents. She watched news regularly and tried to comprehend the new things.

Details:- 

My patient was a 50 + aged housewife who suffered from spondylitis. She was experiencing severe pain in lumbar region (I.e. lower part of spine).  She was suffering from intense pain in the hip region due to her affection of sciatic nerve root and hence she was unable to sit. Her pain was so severe that she was unable to be in one position during her consultation. Severe pain in back deprived her from sleep at night. Each and every body movements like weight lifting, rising from the chair, etc… was very painful. Her doctor had kept her on pain killers and advised for complete bed rest. She was taking pain reliving medicines but it lead to side effects and resulted in severe hyperacidity and hence, she had to withdraw from taking the painkillers.

After thorough case taking, I found that disease was not of hereditary origin. Moreover, she had a lean constitution (body); hence Obesity related issues were ruled out. Her typical exerted housewife activities had resulted in this disease. I decided to give her reiki on lumbar region which involved sacral & root (base) chakra for 60min daily.  After just one session she reported that she can rise from the chair easily and there was less pain in body movement. On the second session she reported 50% relief in her pain. Within ten sessions she got complete relief from the pain and all other symptoms got resolved. In her last session she said that now there is no pain at all and the improvement was at such an extent that she had forgotten her all complaints and is now living a normal healthy life.

DETAILS:

 

My patient was a 32 years old female, who suffered from Chronic Depression. During her Pre-Reiki Consultation, she informed me about her fear of sudden accidental deaths. She had cried her heart out when she said that “life and death are natural processes, everybody has to die one day but living with constant fear of dying is worst then dying itself”.  She also had a peculiar mental disorder wherein she believed that howling of birds and animals around her, would lead to some unseen problems- a superstitious thought- due to which, her sleep had also got disoriented. Due to the above fears, she was not able to stay alone at her own home- which also caused her family problems; she being in a disturbed, depressive state-of-mind. The best part of the pre-reiki consultation was her being frank and open about her each and every depressive whims, which in fact, is very necessary to understand the patient & give a proper treatment.

During her Chakras examination, I detected disturbances in her Crown, Third eye and Heart Chakra. On this basis I decided to give her daily sessions of 30 min. My treatment began with Crown Chakra, as any of the diseases, especially those of the mental kind origin; this chakra is not to be neglected. Then I focused on Third Eye Chakra, wherein regulating the glandular secretions, helped me in regulating her emotions. Heart chakra then helped in restoring positive attitude and by increasing her faith in herself. Just after 3-4 sessions, she underwent changes drastically; she started feeling joyful, her depression was reduced to a great extent. Another 2-3 sessions, and her fear of death vanished. Now she felt no discomfort; no fear of, staying alone at home. Thereafter, during her last sessions, she confessed that, she had developed a positive attitude towards life and birds & animals howling were just voices for her now. Her superstitious belief had taken a backseat. Her sleep disturbances were gone, and she was now a happy person. During her last session she proclaimed, “I AM EXPERIENCING A NEW PERSONALITY WITHIN MY SELF, THIS TREATMENT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.”
