Knowledge of ancient Ayurveda for the health of the musculoskeletal system
Ayurveda is the science of life, given by nature itself. It has existed for over 5,000 years, and interest in it has not faded away. According to Ayurveda, well-being is not in the pursuit of wealth or power, but in the ability to find a balance between the spiritual world and the physical, between the various energies that feed our body and soul.
The center of Ayurveda and tantra-jyotish "Anuradh" in Odessa helps those wishing to master ancient Indian practices, to bring soul and body into harmony. We talked with the leading specialist of the Anuradh Center about how Ayurveda can help heal the body, in particular, improve the condition of the musculoskeletal system.
- What is the difference between healing according to Ayurveda and the approaches of modern medicine?
- Ayurveda considers a person as a part of nature, and therefore uses natural remedies and methods of influence for healing. Official medicine, as everyone knows, long ago moved away from the use of natural remedies and uses chemically manufactured drugs. Ayurvedic healers always treat a person as a whole, and in medicine, a separate doctor deals with the treatment of each organ.
- Do I understand correctly that Ayurveda is not only a science of health, but also a philosophical doctrine?
- The very concept of "Ayurveda" from Sanskrit is translated as "science of life", "knowledge of life." The need to learn the science of life in people arises, as a rule, during periods of crisis, when the desire for spiritual development and self-knowledge increases. Ayurveda considers a person in his trinity, as a harmonious union of body, soul and spirit. Therefore, no less attention is paid to the health of the body than to the perfection of the soul and spirit. At the Anuradh Center, we apply the ancient techniques of Ayurveda and Tantra-Jyotish for diagnostics and counseling in order to reveal the nature of each person and help him harmonize these three components. Our Center helps you to better know and understand your mind and learn how to maintain your body in a healthy state.
- What ways and methods in Ayurveda restore health?
- Various types of massages are applied using oils, herbs and other means; diets taking into account individual characteristics and biorhythms; taking natural medicines; meditation for emotional balance.
- What Ayurvedic procedures help to treat problems of the musculoskeletal system?
- We always adhere to an integrated approach and use several methods at once. They are selected individually, depending on the characteristics of the organism and the existing problem. In particular, Padmabhyanga is an Ayurvedic acupressure massage of the feet and legs from the knees. It activates specific points (marmas) through which many internal organs and the entire body are influenced. Padmabhyanga massage stimulates self-healing of the whole organism and has a good effect on the musculoskeletal system.
Katy-basti has a wonderful effect. During this Ayurvedic procedure, a special medicated oil is heated and poured into a dough vessel attached to the lumbar spine. Ayurvedic oil deeply warms this area of the body and acts on the muscles of the lumbar spine. As a result, they effectively relax, relieve the tightness of the nerve roots and excessive compression of the vertebral discs. Even the iliac muscles, deep inside the pelvis, can be acted upon and cannot be relaxed by any traditional massage. In addition, the oil saturates the intervertebral discs and restores their flexibility. A similar procedure can be carried out on other parts of the spine, as well as on the joints. The warming effect and the properties of the oil restore the motor functions of the joint, eliminate painful sensations during movement. The course is determined individually for each person. You need to sign up for a consultation, undergo diagnostics and discuss the treatment program with an Ayurvedic doctor
- Are there any contraindications for the Katy Basti procedure or massages?
- A contraindication to the procedure is the aggravated stage of the disease. Treatment can only be carried out in the chronic stage.
- Does a person with problems of the musculoskeletal system need to change their diet?
- For the health of the musculoskeletal system, Ayurveda recommends a balanced diet. It is good to eat sweet, sour, and salty foods and avoid bitter, spicy, and tart foods. It is necessary to exclude the use of alcoholic beverages and refined sugar, it can be replaced with honey. Limit coffee and acidic foods. It is useful to eat fresh vegetables, spinach, asparagus, sweet and juicy fruits, fresh milk - a source of calcium, hot water or ginger tea. It is undesirable to eat hard cheese and ice cream. It is important to eat at the same time. Santarpana, a course of specially selected medicinal herbs, will be an excellent addition to your diet.
