| Treatment in Ayurveda |
| Treatment in Ayurveda is a prolonged process. Part of the therapy involves actual treatment, while the other consists of lifestyle consultation – which is even more important. The therapy entails cleansing of the mind and body, which then has to be maintained in that state by the individual for the treatment to be effective. According to Ayurvedic principles, the human being has three dimensions i.e. the body, mind and soul. These three dimensions are set in an individualised pattern based on the predominant dosha. (i.e. Prakruti). An imbalance in every one of these dimensions leads to ill being (Vikruti). It is only after a detailed consultation that the physician determines the cause of this imbalance, using 3 ancient techniques of observation - (Darsana), touching/feeling (Sparsana) and interrogation (Prasna). After the consultation, the patient is given a detailed description of what he might have to undergo over the next few days/weeks. |
| Dhara |
| This is a treatment whereby the patient is made to lie on a special wooden bed (a droni), after which the medicated oil/ milk/ buttermilk, etc are poured in a prescribed, continuous stream on his head by the therapist and two assistant therapists. For the oil application on the head, a wide mouthed earthen vessel with a hole at the bottom is hung about 2 inches from the patient's forehead. A thread hangs forth from the hole along which the oil flows. The prescribed liquid is then poured into the vessel and on the upper forehead in a steamy stream. The liquid drippings are collected and the oil is poured back into the vessel. After which the patient is given a warm bath or sometimes none at all (with the patient simply being towelled off). The length of the treatment depends on the severity of each case. |
| Pizhichil |
| This is a specialised treatment which involves squeezing a cloth soaked in oil over the body. During this treatment the patient is made to sit on the droni and the medicated oils are then administered over the head and body. By 4 therapists (2 on either side of the patient- i.e. if the Dhara treatment is also undertaken simultaneously) .A cloth is tied over the patient's forehead, to prevent oil from getting into the eyes. The warm, medicated oil is then poured in a continually flowing single stream, by squeezing a clean cloth dipped in oil over the body. The treatment starts and ends with the patient in a sitting position. In the duration in-between, the patient is made to lie flat. Like the Dhara, the duration and bathing process vary with every patient. The Pizhichil oil therapy helps alleviate skeletal and muscular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. |
