Why Alternate Therapy?

Health is not merely the absence of diseases but the well being, not only on physical level but also on mental, emotional, social and spiritual levels. The concept of treating the body as an assembly of separate, independent parts, hitherto adopted by the medical world has been proved wrong and the new concept of treating the body as an indivisible unit is gaining momentum in all parts of the world.
Drugs taken can relieve pain or give a sense of comfort only till the inner intelligence balances the system and completely alleviates the disease. Many of the modern day health problems are psychosomatic, where the mmd plays an important role. Dis-ease of mind becomes disease in the physical body according to Yogic texts. Side effects of the present-day drugs, some so very harmful, are very well known to doctors and to many of the patients who suffer them.
The simple healing system which is known as Drugless Therapy consists of Acupressure, Zone therapy, Reflexology, Magneto therapy, Colour therapy, Pyramidology, Nature cure etc. It offers an opportunity to reduce the medicine intake and provides a cure for many day-to-day ailments. The holistic approach adopted by such simple alternate therapies offers the common man a wonderful tool for healing himself and the family members.

Prevention, they say, is better than cure. The wise all over the world understand the importance of health and take preventive care, so that they live in good health throughout their life. The necessity of the equilibrium of body, mind and soul to stay healthy is well understood by the modern scientists too. The system of allopathy with its astounding scientific achievements serves the man with fantastic results no doubt, but the common man with a minimum knowledge of his own healing mechanism can certainly avoid taking large doses of drugs over long periods just to cure common ailments. He might as well find their cure by practising such simple healing systems.

According to Chinese Acupuncture Theory the incoming primary energy which is called ‘Qi’ (pronounced as ‘Chi’) enters the body and is distributed through ‘Chakras’ which act as regulators and leaves the body as outgoing energy. In yogic texts this primary energy is known as Prana’. The holisitc approach treats the triangle of body, mind and soul which are the main components of the life. Any factor affecting the energy field affects the balance and in turn the general health. Imbalance may be caused by the blockage or leakage of energy in a particular channel or meridian. The blockage or the leakage are mainly caused by tension and stress of modem everyday life and negative feelings or thoughts.

According to Acupressure theory if the blockages or leakages are removed by applying rhythmic pressure on specific points then the energy flow is normalised or restored. The physical, energy and mental levels have to be in a balance for us to stay healthy. According to the Chinese theory, ‘Balance is health and imbalance is disease’.
