ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

“Ekam shaastram adhiyano na vidyath shaastra nischayam. Tasmat bahushruta shaastram vijaniyath chikitsaka”.

“A Single science alone is not enough for a physician, but he should master various sciences in order to succeed in his clinical practice”

At CARE, such is our collective effort in bringing about total health care, integrating India’s ancient knowledge with modern Medicine.

Ayurveda offers a great scope of treating various Rheumatological conditions but needs to be judiciously implemented. Panchakarma and related procedures are a major hall mark of Ayurveda in this regard. When integrated with modern medicine it can have tremendous potential for a common good-patient wellbeing. Cases need to be recorded and documented in an evidence-based manner.

Certain examples of Effective Ayurvedic treatment:

• Fibromyalgia, procedures like Shirodhara, Mridu Abhyanga may be performed
• In common Rheumatological conditions, such as a case of inflammatory Osteo arthritis, local dhaara or lepa can ease the swelling
• In carpal tunnel syndrome-mild /moderate degree, local udvarthana or upanaha may be helpful
• In trigger finger -local , Bandhana can be done
• In psoriasis, Utsadana/Takradhara can be done
• In Sjogrens Syndrome , Aschyotana may be performed
• In Crohns disease, Picha Vasti is found to be effective
• Internal decoctions could possibly give good support to any cases of mild hepatotoxicity.
