Therapies

1. Treatment Philosophy

The Treatment is based on the concept of Panchamahabhootas; Five elements of Nature: Prithvi (Earth), Aap (Water), Tej (Fire), Vaayu (Air) and Aakash (Space). The Principle of Naturopathy is that the accumulation of toxins is the root cause of all diseases; hence prevention of such accumulation and elimination of existing toxins is the route to health

We have a holistic approach towards each sadhaka.

  • Exploring the disease and the patient’s illness experience
  • Understanding the whole person
  • Finding common ground with the patient regarding treatment options
  • Incorporating prevention and health promotion
  • Enhancing the doctor-patient relationship
  • Being realistic in approach
