| The well trodden paths, centuries old, ancient knowledge percolating down the ages—that's what tradition is all about. A warm cocoon, which reassures us with the message that it has all been done before. Traditional therapies for the most part include systems which are blended with natures own way of curing the human body, by utilizing nerve points, belief in the body's own healing capacity or medicines made out of rare herbs and roots. The idea is to tap the wisdom of the ages and apply it to the modern world. Acupressure Acupressure is the no-needle cousin of the more popular Chinese therapy of acupuncture. In acupressure, the emphasis is on curing through proper pressure on concerned nerve points in the human body. Acupuncture Injecting fine needles into different acupuncture points of the body is widely being recognized as an effective system of alternative healing in modern times. Chinese Medicine The traditional philosophy of the Chinese has helped them discover a unique form of medicine that is logical, practical and effective. Fish Therapy There's some great news for asthmatics. Help is at hand with the famed fish therapy of the Goud family in Hyderabad, India. Do you find this impossible to believe ? Osteopathy Osteopathy is a therapy based on the theory that the body is capable of making its own remedies against disease and other toxic conditions and emphasizes the importance of normal body mechanics and manipulatiove methods of detecting and correcting faulty structure. Reflexology Fingers can in themselves be healing if they have learnt the art of massaging. By applying pressure to reflex areas, relexology has taught the body to self-heal. Siddha Medicine Based on the classical principle of an inherent similarity between the universal and the individual—Siddha medicine is one of the oldest medical traditions. Too often confused with ayurveda, it is a pure Dravidian system that started in southern India much before the Aryan era. Ever since the time of the legendary Sage Agastya and his 18 siddhars—the ancient propagators and practitioners of this system—Siddha knowledge has continued to percolate from master to disciple. Tibetan Medicine Tibetan medicine, perhaps the most misunderstood of all alternative systems of healing, believes the seed of sickness lies in the darkness of spiritual ignorance. |
