Our Holistic treatment concept evolves from the following systems.

Ayurveda :

Ayurvedic treatment does not mean suppressing the main symptoms and creating some new ones as side effects of the main treatment. It is to remove the root cause and give permanent relief.  
 

Allopathy :

Allopathy, also known as the Modern System of Medicine, developed in the West. A system, which treats a disease with drugs having opposite effects to existing symptoms, each successive discovery and development in Allopathy, is the result of extensive research.
 

Therapeutic yoga :

Yoga originated over 5,000 years ago in India, and has many forms.Yoga can be a means of achieving a sense of mental and physical well being, and is also effective in the treatment of a variety of conditions ranging from stress and high blood pressure to tendonitis and muscle strain.
 

Meditation:

Meditation is considered a form of mental therapy. Although there are many forms of meditation, such as transcendental, Zen, and mindfulness, they all have in common the calming of the mind.  It can be used to help in the management of stress,chronic pain etc.
 

Pranic healing: 

Pranic healing is based on the techniques on how to gather and be empowered by the energies of nature (air, sun ground, water, trees) It is the latest in energy healing. It was developed at the Institute of Inner Studies in the Philippines by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, a man with a rare depth of knowledge relating to the human energy field. 
 

Naturopathy :

Naturopathy is an eclectic compilation of doctrines and practices of natural healing, as well as a way of life, and a concept of employing various practical holistic means of preventing and treating human imbalance and suffering. The capacity of the body-mind to heal itself is the central tenet of Naturopathy.

Homeopathy :

Used worldwide by over 500 million people, is based upon the "law of similars"-that is, illnesses are treated with substances which, in their natural state, are capable of producing symptoms of the illness, yet develop the power to cure those same symptoms when homeopathically prepared into their extremely dilute counterparts.
