Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body, and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.To an osteopath, for your body to work well, its structure must also work well. So osteopaths work to restore your body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery. Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms.

Additional facility for executive health check up and investigations are available in the main hospital on request after discussion with their treating physician.

The Ayurvedic Centre offers the whole range of Panchakarma treatments along with various other treatments like:

Panchakarma is a unique mode of Ayurvedic therapy which has both preventive and curative aspects. Panchakarma constitutes the Shodhana Chikitsa which is an Ayurvedic rejuvenation treatment since it not only eliminates the toxins causing diseases but also replenish the tissue with nourishment. Department of Ayurvedic medicine has a well-equipped Panchakarma centre located in the green and serene atmosphere of the Himalayan Institute campus in a pristine ambiance. It offers its services under an expert team of Ayurveda practitioners well supported by qualified and well-trained paramedical staff. The name Panchakarma is derived from two Sanskrit words. “Panch” means “five” and “Karma” means “Action.” The name denotes five primary procedures of cleansing which Ayurveda uses to purify the body . The five-purifactory procedures are: 1) Vaman (Induced Emesis) 2) Virechan (Induced Purgation) 3) Niruha Basti (Decoction Enemas) 4) Anuvasna Basti (Oil Enema) and 5) Nasya (Nasal medication). Panchakarma therapy is always performed in three stages – Purva Karma (pre-treatment), Pradhana Karma (main treatment) and Pashchat Karma (post treatment). Purva Karma includes two preparatory procedures before the main panchakarma procedures. These therapies are used to dislodge the toxins from the inner sites and help them in eliminating by the main 5-panchakarma procedures. These are: Snehan (Oleation) Swedan (Fomentati Snehan (Oleation). This therapy employs administration of medicated oils either internally or externally. There are various types of external application of the medicated oils, depending on the parts of the body involved and type of the massage performed. The external application of oil is called Abhyanga or ayurvedic massage. A whole body massage with specific Ayurvedic oils to nourish and revitalize the body tissues (Dhatus) and to allow the toxins to be removed from the cells. Abhyanga not only loosen the toxins but helps in achieving deepest healing effects by naturally harmonizing the Body – Mind & Spirit. It is carried out in silence, which helps to harmonise various functions of the body. Silence and rest are two important components in the process of activating the body’s own self-healing mechanisms. This massage is performed symmetrically with synchronized movements by the help of two well-trained panchakarma therapists and is usually followed by a medicated steam bath (Swedana). It is one of the most rejuvenating treatments of Ayurveda. Benefits: Increases tissue strength, improves blood circulation, rejuvenates the whole body, removes the cellulite, beautifies the skin, delays aging, induces sound sleep, promotes vitality, pacifies Vata imbalance, reduces stress and removes toxins. Swedan (Herbal Fomentation): This refers to the remedy that involves application of heat in various ways to make the patient sweat. It is second major form of the preparatory procedures. Among 13 types of swedan Nadi sweda and Vashpa sweda are used as Panchakarma preparatory procedures. The vapors dilate and soften the channels of the body allowing the impurities to move out. Herbal steam specific to the ailment or vitiated dosha is administered which opens the pores, dislodges the toxic materials, making them subtler and flushes the system. In addition to this it reduces the body’s stiffness. Benefits: Reduces pain in the body, eliminates toxins, promotes lightness, reduces stiffness, beautifies the skin, removes the Cellulite. Pradhana Karma: Following snehana and swedana, the aama (toxins) comes in to the koshtha (Gastrointestinal system) from where these can be eliminated by main Panchakarma procedures, i.e, vamana, virechana, anuvasana basti, niruha basti and nasya. Vamana It is a medicated emesis therapy, which specially cleans Kapha toxins collected in the body and decongests the respiratory tract.

A person undergoing virechana may have many bowel movements depending upon the nature of koshtha and toxins. It is a safe procedure and effect is obvious. Basti is the mildest and safest detoxification therapy recommended for a wide variety of illnesses and considered one of the most important aspects of treatment. According to Maharshi Charak it is 50% of all the therapies. It cleanses the accumulated toxins from the colon and is choice of treatment for the diseases caused by imbalance of vata. Vata is the most active principle in pathogenesis. Balancing Vata may treat the root cause of most of the diseases. It improves the absorption, stabilizes vata & is highly beneficial as a rejuvenating treatment also. Medicated oil or ghee and an herbal decoction are given as enema to clean the colon and increase the muscle tone. Nasya: Administration of medicated oil through the nose is called Nasya.
