Dubai: Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old Indian health system that is believed to cure all internal and external ailments by a combination of its eight branches, has been approved by
the Dubai Ministry of Health and the Dubai Health Authority. Those who use it believe it to be a complete system of medicine, whether the area for treatment is internal and external. “The basic principle of Ayurveda is that there are three energies in our body - Vata, Pitta and Kapha - which are controlling all of our functions,” Gulf News quoted Dr Asha Jones, an Ayurvedic practitioner at the Dubai
Herbal Treatment Centre (DHTC), as saying. Vata is responsible for all movement in the body and is the most important of the three doshas. Pitta is responsible
for all metabolisms in the body. Kapha provides the structures and the lubrication
that the body needs. “If they are balanced, our body will be perfectly healthy.
“When we see a patient, we see what energies have gone up or down with the main
purpose of balancing these energies. “The main aim of treatment is to remove toxins
from the body and healing from ourselves. “It is very popular in India and now
it is accepted worldwide. Ayurveda has no side effects if you are diagnosed properly,”
she said. More and more patients are beginning to realise the benefits of traditional
healing. “People are becoming aware of the side effects of medicines they take.
“Ayurveda has no side effects. I think that is the main reason people are getting
attracted to Ayurveda,” Jones said. Durga M., a 47-year-old marketing researcher
and professor, suffered from severe sciatica for two years. She was limping from
pain and could barely walk.. for months, she had used pain pills in an effort
to find relief. Then she discovered Ayurveda. “I wanted something that would help
me now and in the future as well,” Durga said. “I was told that pain pills would
mess up my sciatica even worse,” she said. She took Ayurvedic medicines and 14
therapy sessions. She will return to DHTC next winter to continue treatment and
permanently expel sciatica from her life. “I did believe in Ayurveda, but the problem was it was expensive-- but my friend dragged me there and I could tell immediate results. I was living with knee pains for a couple years. I didn’t go for knee pains but this treatment helped in curing my knee pains as well,” Durga added.
