Ancient wisdom passed down through
generations has given us timeless practical philosophies for maintaining a healthy
and peaceful life. At present, India has many health care systems which have
a holistic approach towards treating health ailments. They provide welcome relief
to people tired of medicines which provide symptomatic remedies rather than
a permanent cure.
To counteract the stresses of modern life and to achieve health and fulfillment
without frequent recourse to strong medications, more and more people are turning
to mother nature. "A healthy body in a healthy mind" is the doctrine
followed by nature cure in Rajasthan. The Natural Law of healing prescribes
solutions which are derived completely from nature and are free from any harmful
side-effects.
There are four prevailing systems of health-care in India, besides Allopathy
or the modern western system; Homepathy, Ayurveda, Unani, and Nature Cure. The
first three are concerned primarily with curing illness rather than with preventing
it, but the nature cure system does not requires drugs, it relies on an intelligent
use of the means provided by nature itself.
Ayurveda is a medical-metaphysical healing science. It helps a healthy person
to maintain health and a diseased person to regain health. Siddha medicine which
is made from herbs, minerals and animal projects is based on the belief that
all diseases are caused by an imbalance in "humuors" (fluids) in the
human body. Siddha has also developed a discpline called Kaya Kalpa for longevity
and freedom from illness.
Homeopathy prescribes simple, balanced and easily adnistered medicines which
are derived from nature. The unani system is practiced by hakims and vaids in
rural as well as urban parts of the country. The Yoga philosophy is another
dimension of nature cure. Yoga has powers to claim the mind, relieve stress
and tension and stimulate blood circulation and overall health. The Yoga postures
and their variants work on all the body systems. They are also helpful in toning
the muscles and strenghthening the internal organs. There are special postures
recommended to offer relief from problems such as headaches and hypertension.
The asanas the pranayama, of yaga can be practised by people of all ages with
the help of an experienced instructor and once the techniques are mastered,
the benefits are not merely physical but also metaphysical. Yoga helps in becoming
conscious of the calm and higher source of strength which resides deep within
all of us.
Today physiotherapy and exercise schools in the west are adapting movements
from yoga postures because of their wide applicability and therapeutic uses.
Come to Rajasthan and discover the inner strength within you, because the solution
to all our problems lies within us and nature which surrounds us.
Network of Health Care :
Rajasthan, like other states of India, also has a vast network of traditional
health care institutions. Not only in the government sector but also in the
private sector, the practice of healing through naturopathy and alternate therapies
is still practiced.
Despite the impact of modern medicine, Rajasthan still preserves and promotes
its traditional health-care system based on naturopathy and the Vedic approach
to health.
In ancient days, each state had a separate department of medical facilities
headed by a "Raj Vaida" and also patronized indigenous health care
systems. through Vyayamshala (gymnasium), wrestling, weight lifting and Arogyashala.
The rulers and landlords often donated land to establish an Arogyashala or Ashram
within their respective areas. Apart from this, the rich trading communities
also built many Chiktasalya (dispensaries) which were attached either with temple
management or a trust of their caste. The work of health care was treated as
a form of charity.
Today, a number of nature cure and yoga centres are spread all over Rajasthan.
They not only offer a perfect system of health care and diagnostic methods but
also facilities of steam bath, mud bath, rigorous dieting and physical exercises.
Patients have been coming for treatment to these centres from all over the country
and even from as far as Britain, U.S.A., Australia and Europe.
