Rejuvenation: Nature’s Way
Ayurvedic spas are now dime-a-dozen. But Sudhanva Health Care is unique in its own way. With a congenial, homely atmosphere, that never lets the patient get the feeling of staying in a hospital, it provides Ayurvedic classical therapies and medicines with lifestyle management through diet, thus aiming to integrate Ayurvedic principles in the present-day lifestyle.
Dr Muralidhara, who along with his wife Dr Rekha, has been running the hospital for the last five years, explains, that the psychological satisfaction of staying in such environs, results in 50 per cent of the disease getting cured, and half the battle being won.
"We have been able to reach out to local people and those living outside Bangalore and abroad. Many doctors have been trained here. In the coming years, Sudhanva will be a centre of international standard, providing treatment for chronic and challenging cases. It will be an educational centre, where awareness will be created among the patients and people regarding their health, so that they can prevent the occurrence of certain diseases and lead a healthy life," adds Dr Muralidhara.
Having been the Principal of the Indian Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine and Research in Bangalore, Dr Muralidhara has travelled to Holland, Germany, England, Scotland, USA, Middle East and South East Asian countries as a consultant, delivering public lectures on the fundamentals of Panchakarma and Rasayana and conducting courses on Self Pulse reading, Yoga, Diet, Digestion and Nutrition. He has also given talks to medical students in Thames Valley University, London, and at Moscow.
Dr Rekha is actively involved in the research on Psoriasis- which is being documented in the audiovisual mode, and the effects of Panchakarma in chronic, common & autoimmune disorders.
The Panchakarma therapies are performed by trained technicians and all the therapies are done under expert supervision. The treatment charges are very economical so that all sections of people can afford them.
Ayurveda is one of the oldest sciences and its roots have been in India and theIndian subcontinent for many centuries. But due to the political fallout for many centuries, and ignorance of the people, it had lost its glory. But this has changed and Ayurveda is definitely in revival mode today, says Dr Muralidhara. It has gained popularity in the West in the name of herbal medicine.
People are also becoming increasingly aware of the side effects of the mainstream medicines and are now turning towards Ayurveda and other natural systems of medicine and yoga, he adds.
People need to be aware of the benefits of Ayurveda, says Dr Muralidhara. Many of the common and chronic diseases can be tackled through this science.
