Ayurveda in Sanskrit means “Veda of Ayus” or in English “knowledge of life”. In recent years this 3000 years old medical system has gained universal acclaim for its curative powers and the ability to maintain physical, mental and spiritual health without the burdens of toxicity and the side effects.

The traditional science of Ayurveda has been handed down through centuries by ancient physicians who practiced and preached the “Pancha bhuthas” and “Thridosha” theories of Ayurveda.

Ozone therapy is a medical treatment that involves the administration of ozone gas (O₃) to patients for therapeutic purposes. Proponents claim that ozone can help increase oxygen supply to tissues, stimulate the immune system, and improve circulation. It is often applied through methods such as injections, insufflation, or topical applications.

While some practitioners advocate for ozone therapy in treating various conditions—such as infections, wounds, and certain chronic diseases—it's important to note that the scientific support for these claims is limited.

Functional medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of diseases rather than merely treating symptoms. It emphasizes a patient-centered model, taking into account individual genetics, lifestyle, environment, and emotional well-being.

Practitioners of functional medicine often use a variety of diagnostic tools, including lab tests and comprehensive health assessments, to understand the unique factors influencing a patient's health. 

Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a healthcare profession focused on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of physical impairments, disabilities, and pain. It aims to improve movement, restore function, and enhance the quality of life for individuals of all ages.

Physiotherapists use various techniques and modalities, including:

• Exercise therapy: Customized exercise programs to strengthen muscles and improve mobility.
• Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques to manipulate joints and soft tissues.
• Electrotherapy: Use of electrical modalities to relieve pain and promote healing.
• Education and advice: Guidance on posture, ergonomics, and injury prevention.

Physiotherapy can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, neurological disorders, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain. The goal is to help patients achieve optimal physical function and independence.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and balance. It is based on the concept of Qi (pronounced "chee"), which is believed to be the life force or energy flowing through the body. According to this philosophy, blockages or imbalances in Qi can lead to illness.

Practitioners use acupuncture to address various health issues, including pain management, stress relief, digestive problems, and more. The treatment is thought to stimulate the nervous system, increase blood flow, and encourage the body's natural healing processes.

Acupuncture is typically performed by trained professionals and is considered safe when done by qualified practitioners. While some studies support its effectiveness for certain conditions, results can vary, and it's often recommended as part of a broader treatment plan.

Diet therapy, also known as nutritional therapy, involves the use of specific dietary practices to manage or treat health conditions and promote overall well-being. This approach emphasizes the importance of nutrition in preventing and managing diseases and often includes personalized meal plans, food recommendations, and lifestyle changes.

Key aspects of diet therapy include:

• Individualization: Tailoring dietary plans to meet the specific needs, preferences, and health goals of the individual.
• Focus on Whole Foods: Emphasizing the consumption of whole, minimally processed foods rich in nutrients.
• Addressing Specific Conditions: Using diet to help manage or alleviate symptoms of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and obesity.
• Education and Support: Providing guidance on healthy eating habits, portion control, and meal preparation.

Cupping therapy is a traditional healing practice that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction is believed to help with pain relief, inflammation, blood flow, and relaxation. The cups can be made of various materials, such as glass, bamboo, silicone, or plastic.

There are two main types of cupping:

1. Dry cupping: Involves creating a vacuum inside the cups, which are then placed on the skin for a set period.
2. Wet cupping: Involves both suction and controlled skin incisions, allowing for the extraction of a small amount of blood, which is thought to remove toxins.

Cupping therapy is often used in conjunction with other treatments, such as acupuncture or massage, and is commonly associated with traditional Chinese medicine, though variations exist in other cultures. While many people report benefits such as reduced muscle tension and improved circulation, scientific evidence on its effectiveness is mixed. As with any therapy, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before trying cupping.
