Naturopathy
Medicine less, natural forms of healing!
Naturopathy is an art and science of healthy living and a drugless system of healing based on well-founded philosophy. It is a distinct and complete system of health care. Six foundational principles underpin the practice of naturopathy: The healing power of nature, First do no harm, Find and treat the cause whenever possible, not only the symptoms, Treat the whole person, Education and Prevention. These six principles are kept in mind when our naturopaths take your case, develop a treatment plan and also offer maintenance for long-term good health.
Naturopathy is both an art and a science. Naturopaths in Sri Sri Ayurveda Hospital are well-experienced preventive medicine specialists using scientific evidence as well as traditional evidence in practicing holistic forms of health care.

Acupressure
Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers or any blunted objects to press key points called as ‘Acu Points’ (Energy stored points) on the surface rhythmically on the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities.
Cupping therapy
Cupping is a therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to remove stagnation and stimulate the flow of qi (chi). Qi is the free flow of vital energy circulating through the body and the world around us, if the qi is disrupted or disturbed, it can create stagnation (blockages) or imbalances in the body.
The benefits of cupping include local pain relief and muscle relaxation. Cupping improves overall health by removing the energy blockages that TCM practitioners identify as barriers to the flow of healthy energy or qi. For athletes, cupping may help increase blood flow to a particular muscle region or help reduce pain. Numerous athletes from the Olympics in Rio 2016 used cupping. This was easily seen by circular markings on some of the U.S. swim team members.
Moxa
According to alternative medicine practitioners, the heat generated during moxibustion helps increase the flow of vital energy throughout the body via certain pathways. In traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating the flow of chi is considered essential to achieving health and wellness. In fact, this approach to healthcare is based on the belief that blockages in the flow of chi contribute to physical and mental health problems.
