Modern medicine has progressed exponentially. Multiple illnesses are treatable in the current times which were not treatable 100 years back. Penicillin the antibiotic, Organ transplants, stem cell therapy, immunotherapy are just to name a few. That's the achievement modern science has made in the past 100 years.
It's easy to say that it is only modern science that has done wonders and no other therapy will be able to cure ailments. But we may not know the entire truth. I heard in a video documentary that our human civilization is about 30, 000 years old. We have been masters in living like a civilization. Our history about our ancient gods and kings tells us many stories about how humans have mastered special arts in curing themselves.
Certain examples are exemplary and modern science has nowhere reached close to them even today. When Lord Shiva cut off the head of Ganesha, he had to attach the head of a baby elephant to Ganesha's body to bring him back to life. That is one of the marvels of ancient advancement. We all know about the stories of ancient Chinese travellers who used to travel to India from far and wide to learn cosmetic surgery. This kind of surgery has been detailed in our Ayurveda books like the Charak Samhita.
There are more than one therapies that are prevalent in every part of the world in today's times. With the advent of communication across the world, it has been easier for these therapies to make their way across the world to other corners reaching far and wide. Not every therapy is effective on all ailments but you will definitely be able to find more than one therapy being impactful on ailments where modern medicine has no reach.
Recently when Malay had an attack of cervical spondylitis, he was bedridden for two weeks. If that was not enough, modern medicine specialists gave him nerve relaxants to relieve him of the pain. We approached a Neuro Surgeon to take an opinion on what options we had. He simple told us that he will cut across the throat and screw the ribs which had been displaced. I was flabbergasted. Something so minuscule could be treated in such a grave manner was beyond my imagination.
I promised myself, I will not let them insert even a needle into Malay, leave alone slitting his throat off ! And then began my journey of searching for alternative therapies for him.
On the top of my list was Ayurveda. The panchkarma treatments have been beneficial to many in similar ailments and we gave it a shot.
Cranio Sacharal therapy was next on my list. This therapy stimulates the cranial joints and helps in self healing of the body.
Malay was keener to try out a Chiropractor specialising in multi-dimensional therapies, including CST, physiotherapy, and needles.
Someone recommended Accupressure. Accupressure and Accupuncture provide stimulation to the corresponding nerves of the regions of the body where pressure is applied.
I being Reiki and Pranik healing practitioner also started giving energy to him to relieve him of his stress.
Stress. This is one of the biggest culprits in the cause of any ailment in the body. These days, auto immune diseases have been very prevalent. This happens because of the stress that gets accumulated in the body because we are unable to get rid of it. Stress can come in any firm. Someone said something to me and I couldn't take it, some event that happened in my life that triggered stress and so on. To live a healthy life, it is important to get rid of this stress. The body collects stress in itself and can be relieved through Yog, Pranayam and Meditation. Luckily for us, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar has our back and with practice and his blessings, we will sail thru soon!
