Rising incidence of chronic diseases, a greater need for a holistic approach to medicine is turning more people towards Naturopathy.
Bangalore: Rising incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases and greater awareness on the need for diet and lifestyle management is prompting new interest in naturopathy based medicine in India. With as many as 14,000 patients being treated for a variety of diseases, Jindal Naturecure Institute has emerged as a leader in providing alternative medicine in the country.
Non-communicable chronic diseases are currently responsible for more than 61% of the deaths in the country. With modern medicine proving inadequate to offer comprehensive and long-lasting solutions to chronic diseases, an increasing number of people are today turning to a drugless herbal approach. This can be gauged by the fact that among the most common diseases for which patients seek treatment at JNI includes Hypertension, Diabetes Type 1 and 2, Obesity, PCOD, Hypothyroidism, Chronic Constipation, Insomnia, Bronchial Asthma, Migraine, osteoarthritis, cervical lumbar spondylosis and dyslipidemia.
In 40 years of its existence, JNI has seen a steady rise in a number of patients. Initially, only a small number of patients with knowledge or curiosity about Naturopathy and obesity-related issues were visiting JNI, but over time naturopathy`s principle of addressing the cause of the disease and not just the symptoms has gained greater value. This approach is Holistic and JNI has over the years documented it with adequate research. While 10 years back, the average number of annual patients visiting the institute was around 6000, it has gone up to 14000 today.
“Adverse side effects, drug resistance, and rising costs of treatment for non-communicable diseases have forced patients to look for alternative systems of medicine, especially since a lot of these conditions do not respond effectively to traditional pharmaceuticals. Patients seek much more than just treatment of symptoms; they want the root cause of their disease to be addressed through naturopathy. More people today prefer a natural approach and this is clearly evident from the increasing number of patients visiting JNI every year.
We focus on a drug-less approach, promoting the power of the human body to heal it. We have even had many modern medicine doctors from across the country visiting our Institute, wanting to know how naturopathy can help treat patients suffering from osteoarthritis, diabetes, obesity, depression, rheumatic conditions and insomnia” said Mr. K. R Raghunath, Sr. Chairman, Jindal Naturecure Institute.
Today Naturopathy is seen as a natural healing science to cure lifestyle diseases. People’s expectations from Naturopathy have increased over the time. Today, JNI stands for a centre of excellence in alternative treatment in India, based mainly on Naturopathy, yoga and diet with strict discipline for modification of lifestyle to achieve detoxification of the body and mind.
In fact, today the term “integrated medicine” is gaining greater acceptance across the world as more mainstream medicine practitioners also realize the need for a holistic approach to treatment and prevention of NCDs.
Jindal Naturecure Institute (JNI) has conducted extensive research in devising a comprehensive medicine system, utilizing nature cure, yoga, diet and meditation with particular emphasis on all non-commercial chronic and acute diseases, especially diabetes, asthma, hypertension, and arthritis for over 31 years with excellent results. In such condition naturopathic approach is more effective than drugging which only suppresses the disease, giving rise to other ailments.
“India is in the middle of a silent public health crisis and naturopathy might help us understand the scope and scale of the crisis.
It provides a more expansionist and preventive model of holistic care, countering the reductionist and reactionary approach of pharmacology. Naturopaths treat the root cause of diseases and not just the symptoms. Our approach is more integrated and we take into account the patient’s physical, mental, emotional health while considering all the social and environmental factors. By taking a more patient-centric approach, we have successfully managed to curtail the progression of NCD symptoms in our patients, and their expectation from naturopathy has increased over time” said Mr. K.R Raghunath, Chairman, Jindal Naturecure Institute.
