ALLOPATHY (Modern Western Medicine)

Allopathy claims and is respected to be the path to health care in our contemporary times with conventional means. At large Allopathy deploys drugs and procedures to the symptoms of sickness. Allopathy is predominantly popular in the Western world and has reached popularity across the world.

The West has led the world in Allopathic medical science, developing drugs and devices; however nations like India are leading the way in healthcare delivery – in terms of expertise, technology, cost and research. India contributes a large role in this field mainly due to its huge readily available cutting edge medical infrastructure, good supply source of Western educated medical talent including doctors, nurses, pharmacists and lab assistants, cosmopolitan outlook of cities with hotels, well-developed ecosystem of partners. India has excellent providers of modern medical treatment services.

India's unique strength is its importance to democratic human values!

India is home to some of world’s superlative healthcare infrastructure with cutting edge tech equipped multi-specialty hospitals with JCI of US and the finest doctors in specialized medical disciplines.

Every medical procedure carries risks. Many of these risks are the same that you would have no matter where you were having a medical procedure.

Pre-trip planning and review of your current health condition can help mitigate unintended risks. Further, it is important to use credible medical travel facilitators or medical travel programs that will typically require the use of a Joint Commission International (JCI) Accredited facility or a facility that has an international equivalent to this accreditation.

The JCI accreditation is too stringent and a very expensive status to retain and accomplish. Hence availing treatment from a JCI certified provider superior by all means and is comparatively expensive to the non JCI accredited options of hospitals. Hence, for cost conscious patients NABH accredited hospitals are certainly an “at-par option”. We facilitate our services to providers of either accreditation. It is the sole discretion of the patient with respect to the choice of the facility where they wish to receive the treatment.

Practically every type of aliments that the modern medicine treats at anywhere in the world from Dental care to Stem cell therapy are available in JCI certified facilities in India. However the following are the most popular health care services availed form Indian hospitals by foreign patients.

Ayurveda is natural, logical, spiritual, personal, scientific, yet a satisfying way of living a life!
Ayurveda offers treatments and medicines to diseases that Allopathy does not have any prescribed medicines/formulations. Lifestyle health disorders such as Jaundice, Diabetics, Gout etc... Ayurveda offers time proven natural resolutions, practices and remedies to these ailments.

The Government of India has a devoted ministry department called “AYUSH” promoting research, developments and controls. This ancient, indigenous medicine practice of Asian region is commonly called as Ayurveda – in Sanskrit is translated to “The science of life” , based on the Vedic wisdom that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the physical, mental, social, moral, and spiritual welfare.. It’s one of the world's oldest, holistic (“whole-body”) healing systems of natural healing. It was developed and is evidently practiced more than 5,000 years ago in India. Let us be thankful to the Vedic wisdom of the IndHian Sages!

Customized Panchkarma therapies help to alleviate specific health problems.

Traditional, regional practice of this system by the different social class creeds and the wonderful mosaic of varied religions in the Asian continent gave birth to the following most popular and established traditional Health systems in India – Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa (ayush = life)

Uniqueness of genuine Ayurveda:

Besides dealing with principles for preventive maintenance of health, Ayurveda has also developed a wide range of therapeutic measures to combat illness. Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of medicine dealing with both the Preventive and Curative aspects of life in a most comprehensive way.
When it comes to health and patient treatments, Ayurveda prefer to call it straight as sick-care; instead of the disguised pseudo term Health-care. The Indian stream of Health science is rooted on the preventive medicine with the help of the abundant essences of spices and herbs grown in the most vivid, fertile organic lands on Earth. Mother Nature flourishes in the most favoring Indian tropical weather for life to breed in its fullest!
Ayurveda – the science of life – is based on Panchabhootha (Five Elements) theory and principles of Tridosha (three humors). Health is the state when these three humors – Vata, Pitta and Kapha - are in balance and an equilibrium state; disease is the condition when they are imbalanced. The basics of Ayurvedic treatment is to bring back the organic balance of the body through proper food, lifestyle and medicines. When the imbalance is very high, disease becomes chronic and more advanced procedures like “Panchakarma” may be required. Panchakarma is the ultimate detox therapy that helps to clean the system, correcting metabolism and regulate immune system. It is carried out in phases of 7, 14, 21 and 28 days preceded by various massage and heating techniques to prepare body for detoxing scientifically. Internal medicines that have healing properties are also administered during the course of treatment. They also work as antioxidants and cleansing medicines.

“Allopathy” Vs “Ayurveda”

A comparison between Modern Medicine (Allopathy) Vs Indian Traditional holistic Medicine (Ayurveda).

Ayurveda believes that humans are a manifestation of thoughts that create our bodies. In western medicine, we are a material (body) which creates thoughts. This is the basic difference and the reason you may choose Ayurveda because it works using an expansive model that involves the manipulation and understanding of the stream of consciousness and not merely matter (which is one manifestation of consciousness).
Traditional western medicine (and mostly other healing modalities) treats only a part of the patient – the part which is deemed to be ill – the material part. The Ayurvedic approach treats the whole person (physically, emotionally, mentally, socially, and spiritually) in the belief that one cannot safely split a person into parts. For example, the Ayurvedic healer may assess a person’s thought process, believing that thoughts manifest themselves in the biochemistry of the body. In western medicine, after extensive diagnostics, often the disease or cluster of symptoms is isolated, and the disease becomes the sole area of attention of traditional physicians. Triumph over a particular disease or set of symptoms is considered restoration of health. Not so in Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is a natural therapy; most of the Ayurvedic medicines are organic essences of Herbs, spices, plant based oleoresins and natural oils hence, it has no or fewer side effects or almost no complications (when taken responsibly and on the advice of an expert) whereas, other systems of medicine often have lots of side effects and can potentially cause several complications.
The Allopathic medical system, medication of chronic diseases, is comprised of steroids and immuno suppressant drugs, which have various side effects. In this context Ayurvedic concepts are very important. They are time tested, all natural and free from side-effects. This is the reason that Ayurveda is being accepted all over the world.
Ayurvedic practitioners view the human being as a whole while diagnosing the disease and administering the treatment. This specific concept is lacking in the modern system of medicine.
The concept of the self (Sva) is different from person to person and from the Allopathic world of ideal blood counts, ideal height/weight ratios and ideal heart rates, etc.
Ayurveda regards everyone as unique, a brand-new painting with its own set of colors. So, what may be normal to one and constitute his or her health may be quite abnormal to another. In Ayurveda, everyone is not the same. It offers the encouragement and tools for self-analysis, understanding one’s native nature (Prakriti) and departure from one’s native nature (Vikruti). Ayurveda recommends a return to nature, restores balance to the body, mind and spirit complex, to what is simple and intrinsic to a person’s life, and provides information to make responsible choices that promote good physical and mental health.

This contemporary institutional knowledge IndHia is blessed with in both Allopathy and Ayurveda enables Her to be the healer of the World!

Basics of Health and Medical Tourism to India:

The advantages are updated facilities, instrumentation, qualified and certified professionals, customer service and most importantly the savings in cost of treatments. Most of the sophisticated treatments are at 20% or lesser prices of The USA. Procedures such as Hip replacement, Heart by-pass, Organ transplant, Stem cell therapy are availed in India with considerable savings. Patients of complicated procedures should consider medical journey more as a business trip than a leisure junket. The savings you sock away from your medical-health-trip could be deployed for a separate vacation, celebrating your health once your immediate health need is resolved.
India being an erstwhile British colonial commonwealth country, is an English speaking country, with doctors and nurses mostly expatriates returned to their home after education and gaining professional exposure in the West.
