NATUROPATHY :
Naturopathy is based on the
transcendental truths of metaphysics as taught in our ancient Vedantic lore.
It should be understood that natural hygiene is the only true science of
Rejuvination.
Naturopathy means following the rules of nature and curing the diseases with
the help of elements of nature viz. Earth, Water, Sun & Air; in such a way
that toxins gathered in the body are thrown out by which body becomes
pure and powerful.
Naturopathy believes that most of the diseases are due to accumulation of
the toxins in the body and in elimination is the ultimate cure. Naturopathy
is preventive, curative, as well as educative. It treats the patients
physically, mentally, spiritually, and morally. Naturopathy advocates the
positive life habits like regulated diet regimen, physical activities, rest
and relaxation. Thus it builds self-sufficient society if practiced
regularly.
SIDDHA :
Siddha simply means perfection. A sense of mystery prevails about
siddhars, or people who achieved siddhi. They were philosophers, healers and
people with supernatural powers. While
they were reputed to be miracle men, the medical science they practised is
surprisingly well documented. In the recent times Siddha medicine has
revived.
The ancient Tamils, Dravidian people who lived in South India, developed
Siddha medicine. The early Tamil epics mention poets who were also medical
men. In the seventh and 12'h centuries A.D. bhakti literature blossomed, so
did medicine. This was the period when most famous Siddhars lived. Surgery
was well developed.
According to Dawson's dictionary on Hindu mythology, Siddhars were revered
as much as the magi in Europe were. They were people who strove for
spiritual well being to achieve the highest goal in life. Siddha, in fact,
seems to be the by-product of certain gifted people's quest for spiritual
fulfillment.
REIKI :
At every stage of human evolution we
are given certain tools to help us deal with our problems at that particular
time.
Life today is more complicated than it used to be. We go through complex and
stressful situations. What we are now looking for is something that will
help us cope with life and live it as it should be
lived; in peace, joy, harmony and abundance.
There is an increasing awareness today that health deals with much more than
the physical body. The mind and spirit are equally involved. It is actually
"a healthy body in a healthy mind" rather than the other way around. This
awareness has led to a search for healing systems that lay emphasis on
holistic health. Reiki is one such energy healing system that brings about
very positive and extensive changes in our health, general well being and
way of life, if practised regularly.
HOMOEOPATHY :
Dr. Sameul Hahnemann, a German Physician known earlier, discovered
homoeopathy, as a therapeutic system in 1790. From Germany it spread to
many countries and via the British, came to
Calcutta in India. Father Muller, who came to Mangalore in 1879 and
later started The Homoeopathic Poor Dispensary at Kankanady in 1880,
introduced it to Karnataka.
People have always wrongly understood homoeopathy. Some consider it a
placebo- therapy while others call it dangerous. There are still others
who believe it to be slow- acting and useful only in chronic conditions.
Well I Let's try to know the truth.
What is Homoeopathy?
It simply means to treat a disease with a medicine which produces
similar condition during its proving on a healthy individual. Cure by
symptom similarity is the basic principle. This principle, along with
the other principles of Homoeopathy has been arrived at, after lot of
experimentations and clinical verifications.
Homoeopathy treats on the basis of individuality. In Homoeopathy, there
are no diseases but diseased individuals. Names like typhoid, malaria,
tuberculosis, etc. do not help much for prescription. It is those
symptoms that differentiate one patient from another having the same
diagnosis, that are necessary for homoeopathic prescription.
As no two individuals are alike in nature, so also no two diseases and
no two medicines are same. There is no "one- size- fits- all" approach
in Homoeopathy. Treatment varies with each individual. Like any other
therapeutic science. Homoeopathy has its scope and limitations. No
adverse effects, sweet taste and easy to take medicines (no need of
water) are some of its attractions. It acts good in palliative cases,
better in cases with minimal structural damage and best in functional
disturbances.
