My experience with some natural therapies

I have been practicing the various natural therapies since the last 40 years, and successfully helped more than 100 thousand patients suffering from different diseases. I can say that the natural therapies should be learned and practiced by all the persons who are interested in the good health of their family. These therapies should be included in their daily lifestyle so that they remain healthy and also get cured of the minor illness without much expenses and side effects, very fast. 
Amazing results are obtained in most of the cases if these various natural therapies are combined and used for the benefit of the ailing humanity. 

I have successfully treated various long standing cases originating due to the non alignment of single or multiple vertebras, such as of Joint pains (except those suffering from rheumatic arthritis), knees pain, backache, frozen shoulder, writer’s cramp, tennis elbow, stiff neck, snoring, sneezing, sinusitis, asthma induced by motion and exertion, chest pain, stammering, cramps anywhere within the body, pain, numbness, tingling sensations and various discomforts felt by the patients in different positions while sitting, sleeping, walking, driving, eating etc.

Acupressure and Reflexology

There are many forms of acupressure therapy which are in practice throughout the world. Some of them to name are meridian therapy, zone therapy, Sujok therapy, auricular reflexology, hand and foot reflexology etc. In acupressure and reflexology therapies, moderate pressure is given on the relevant points located on the soles and palms and different areas of the body which helps in removing all types of blockages in the systems which in turn activates the proper flow of the vital energy, the blood, the lymph etc. Though it is a very simple therapy, it gives instant and amazing results which no one can even dream of. 

Acupuncture
In acupuncture more or less the same points as in acupressure, are pricked with fine needles by experts to stimulate the nerves to bring about the cure by establishing natural circulations in the body, for various diseases. The acupuncture treatment should be taken only from the qualified therapists. There are chances of getting certain infections and side effects, if the treatment is given by untrained person. 

Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Tibetan medicine, Chinese medicine etc.

All of these systems mostly use herbs to prepare medicines for the cure of various diseases and these are very much effective and without side effects. Most of the formulations are prepared after extensive research since thousands of years. 

Now days due to the relentless increase in the prices of allopathic medicines and their side effects, more and more people are turning towards these systems. 

It is advisable to use these medicines under the supervision of the experts and persons who are qualified in their respective field. In all of these systems, the diagnosis is done by feeling the pulse of the patient, which is very accurate, but now only few experts are alive and this pulse diagnosis technique is almost extinct and the practitioners rely on the modern diagnostic technique. It is necessary to revive and use the pulse diagnosis system along with the modern system otherwise we would loose this technique for ever.

One such simple ayurvedic medicine is, “trifala powder”, which has cured many long standing cases of Migraine headache, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, chronic cough and cold, asthmatic attack associated with dust and cold allergy, acidity, gastric symptoms, constipation, piles, excess heat in the body. 

Only half teaspoon of this powder, taken with water in empty stomach, early in the morning, induces a slight loose motion but the patients get miraculous results within a very short period. I have tried this on thousands of patients and got excellent results almost in all the cases. Not even a single case of adverse effect has been reported so far. The ayurvedic medicines, if prescribed rightly, give excellent and permanent results even in chronic and hopeless cases.

In natural systems of healing the whole body of the patient is taken into consideration irrespective of the location of the problem because there several problems which show up at different location of the body whereas the root cause may be somewhere else. As in the case of migraine headache, sinusitis, and allergic rhinitis and in several cases of asthma it has been seen that the patient has excess of heat in the stomach and the digestive system. This heat increases with the intake of medicines like antibiotics, pain killers and anti-allergic medicines.

The patients feel little relief for the time being due to the action of these strong medicines but later on the problem arises with more intensity and stronger medicine would be required next time to suppress the problem. In natural systems, these cases are treated by reducing the excess heat in the digestive system and this brings about a permanent cure to the problems.

Homoeopathy

This system of medicine is based on the principle “Like cures Like”. In this system most of the remedies are prepared from the natural resources. The remedies are administered in such a minute dose that the raw material used to prepare the remedy is not visible if they are analysed.  

If the selection of the correct remedy is done as per the symptoms, narrated by the patient and his diagnostic reports and the visible symptoms, only a couple of doses are enough to give total cure. These remedies work instantly when they are put on the tongue of the patient and within very short time the patient starts feeling better.

The remedies are prepared by vibrations and works on the vital force of the patient, unlike in the case of other medicines, where they reach the stomach and the intestines of the patients and absorbed there and mix with the blood and carried to the different parts of the body to give the relief.

In several cases, Homeopathic medicines have given miraculous results in acute and chronic diseases alike, some of them to mention are depression, insomnia, vertigo, migraine headache,  bleeding from the mouth and nose, pus discharge from the ears, ulcers, skin diseases like excessive sweating, itching, allergies, eczema, psoriasis, chronic and non-healing wounds, burning sensation in the abdomen and of other parts, frequent urge to pass urine and stool, bedwetting of children, loss of appetite, excessive hunger, constipation and related problems like gastritis and piles etc, urinary tract infections and stones, menstrual irregularities and discharge of various nature, fearful and disturbing dreams, internal bleedings, from any orifice, chronic cough and cold, hepatitis, jaundice and as palliative treatment in serious and terminal cases of cancer. 

Naturopathy

According to the natural therapies our bodies are made up of five basic natural elements they are Air, Water, Fire, Space and Earth. All these elements have direct relation with our bodies and any type of imbalance in these elements causes illness. In Naturopathy normally these five elements are used to bring about a balance in the body. 

The Naturopathy basically aims at cleansing our bodies of various toxins with cause obstructions and become the breeding ground for various disease causing bacteria and viruses. Naturopathy includes different types of hot and cold baths such as water bath, steam bath, sun bath, mud bath, exercises, meditation, change in food and living habits.

Manipulative therapies

These include physical manipulations by experts like osteopaths, chiropractic therapists, bone setters, physiotherapist etc. These therapies are useful for pains, immobility of limbs, paralysis, polio and post operative and other similar cases. 

These therapies are also very effective in variety of problems and give great relief to the patients. These are very much helpful for the sports persons and other patients who do not show any specific problems in the diagnostic systems but still suffer a lot, are cured by these simple techniques easily.

I have been practicing several natural therapies including the manipulation of spine since last 35 years and I have succeeded in removing the collar belts, lumbar belts, knee caps, anklets, elbow bands being used by the patients having problems like vertigo, muscular cramps, post operative immovability of limbs, frozen shoulder, writer’s cramps, tennis elbow, stiff neck, backache, spondylosis, ankle pains etc., 

Treatment through meditation and religious rituals by the traditional healers like Monks, Exorcists, Reiki masters, Pranic healers, Hypnotists etc.

There are several persons who inherit or learn some sort of healing powers and techniques from their ancestors. They heal the patients by chanting several types of mantra (religious hymns) and performing religious rituals.

In this 21^st century when the science has developed various diagnostic and healing systems, these systems seem to be absurd but on several occasions, they have shown miraculous results specially, where other healing systems have failed even to diagnose the problem. I have seen myself several patients of these kind, being treated and cured by these types of traditional healers. 

There are lots of such instances where people suffering from epilepsy, fear, bouts of madness, viewing of various types of dreams since years, which do not show any abnormality in the modern diagnostic systems, are cured very easily by these persons. Some of these persons are said to be empowered and blessed by some deities. 

Though it cannot be proved scientifically how it works but, when we come across some diseases like this and experience the healing by these healers, than only we believe in their systems. Ultimately, we are interested in the cure and not in its scientific background, especially in those cases where the science has failed to give the expected cure. In India there are several religious places where many types of diseases are cured just by performing several rituals.

Yoga excercises and pranayams (breathing excercises)

These exercises were developed by ancient saints who used to practice them to enhance their body mind and spirit to make them perfect for meditation and enlightenment. These exercises tone up each and every cell of the body making each and every system of the body perfect in their functions. The yoga exercises include various free hand exercises which have been in practice for the benefit of physical, mental and spiritual health.

Previously, people practiced yoga only to keep them healthy but now, world famous Yoga Guru Swami Ramdevji, has taught the whole world how to practice yoga and pranayams to maintain good health and also how to regain the  normal health, which we have lost due erroneous living and eating habits.

 Millions of people have left bad habits and started practicing the simple techniques of Yoga and Pranayam daily and got rid of their various incurable diseases, at their home itself. By practicing these simple techniques, one can purify his body, mind and spirit for attainment of ultimate goal of becoming one with the supreme power “GOD” which is the essence of the term “ YOGA”.

Pranayam means breathing as per yogic system, it can keep us healthy and also cure several diseases by regulating the flow of life energy to each and every cell of the body. It is an integrated system comprising of physical and mental exercises by which everyone irrespective of caste, creed and religion, can practice and get the benefits.

Religious belief and exorcism.

The scientists do not believe in systems which are not explored by science, but when we come across situations in which the science fails in its efforts, the doctors themselves advise us to pray to the almighty, for help.

Astrology, Palmistry, Vastu Shastra, Feng-sui, Gem Therapy etc. as system of healing

All the above systems are prevalent since thousands of years and being used by millions of persons through out the universe. These systems have helped a lot of persons suffering from various mental and physical problems. The astrology, palmistry and gem therapy advice to wear rings with different gems mounted on them, prescribe certain rituals, to remove the bad effect of different planets and their movements, on the human beings. 

Vastu Shastra and Feng-sui advise to change direction of the furniture, rooms, and modifications by removing some walls, entrances, kitchen, toilets, living room and the use of certain idols, wall hangings, etc to bring a balance and remove the ill effects on body and mind, at home and offices etc. according to their principles. 

These therapies are based on ancient science and on several occasions they are found useful, but since their functioning cannot be shown or proved to the modern science, they are believed to be faith healing. However, if other systems and therapies fail we must try these therapies for possible solution to our problem.

Home remedies for minor ailments

There are many techniques which we have experienced in our lives, which are very effective for minor problems such as Grandma’s medical tips which are worth learning by all. Many people know a lot of herbs and plants which are available locally in different parts of the world which have miraculous healing effect for different ailments. There are many items in the kitchen which have tremendous healing

effects like Turmeric ,which is very useful in various diseases

including the cancer and as immunity builder in corona pandemic.    

Modern medicines and the traditional systems of healing

Our lives have undergone unexpected changes due the research and development in science. The things which we see and use now, were hardly imagined by general people. The life has become so fast and sophisticated that we do not have time to look into the most important issues like our health. Whenever we have some trouble either we neglect the same or just take some medicines and proceed forwards to our work. If the problem is minor we become well and if we are not cured we go for further investigations and medication for the treatment.  

We are always in a hurry to get the problem removed from our body at the earliest. The modern medicine has played a vital role in this field. There may be lot of side effect in the medicines but in order to get quick relief, we overlook the same. One medicine is accompanied by a couple of other medicines to counter its side effects. We all are well aware of the fact that day by day the medicines are becoming costlier and beyond the reach of ordinary people who earn a very little amount for their livelihood.

We can save a lot of our precious time and money which is required for tackling with the diseases, if we spend some time daily to keep our bodies fit with regular physical exercise, balanced diet, positive thinking and natural living etc. These are some of the basic requirements for a healthy life. These keep the diseases away and even if we get ill, we can regain our normal health very fast by various natural techniques.

 The natural therapies and medicines strengthen the inner curative powers so that, the disease causing elements are thrown out from the body. The modern medicines kill the viruses and bacteria with strong antibiotics and other strong medicines which also have lot of adverse effect on the body of the patients. However, if need arises in case of emergencies, these strong medicines should also be taken to get immediate relief.

Our body is embedded with natural healing capabilities. If there is some problem, the nature gives us the signals in various forms, such as pains, itching, eruptions, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, dizziness, irregular bowels, irregular blood pressure, fever, indigestion etc. The need in these cases is to diagnose the root cause instead of suppressing them. If we try to suppress these symptoms with strong medication, the problems seem to disappear temporarily but later, they are likely to grow into a serious and more complicated one. 

Exposure to strong chemicals and radiation etc., start various side effects which later, give birth to various types of diseases. Many people take medication on their own without being prescribed by qualified doctors, which is very harmful practice. The modern medicines popularity owes to its fast action on the diseases which is very important in case of acute problems. In case of chronic problems, the medicines have to be taken for long period of time and as such the natural therapies and the medicines prepared from herbs etc. can be taken as they are effective, cheap and without side effects. The natural therapies make the body stronger by increasing its immunity against diseases.

Evolution of Natural therapies

In the olden days when the people were hurt by some thing or when they fell down, they used to message that area; some times they applied some natural herbs to the area and got cured. When they got cold they used to have sunbath or got warmth from the fire or warm water, when they got burnt they used to pour cold water on the area. These were the natural systems of healing which the people practiced in olden days. Later, numerous persons researched in this field and compiled their studies into research papers and books. Later we start calling it Naturopathy.  People used the leaves, the roots, the stems, and the bark of the different plants, to cure the diseases. They crushed the herbs and prepared paste to apply on the wound and fractured bones, used stem of neem and babool tree to clean the teeth etc.

In different parts of the world there are various plants and herbs and various types of natural therapies which the people have been using since generations but their knowledge was limited to their locality only. Now with the use of modern media and other systems these can be brought to the knowledge of the people of other places, so that, the same may also be used by all and also, the knowledge may be exchanged with the people of other places for the benefit of the humanity at large.

Some of them natural therapies, to be named, are Naturopathy, Ayurvedic medicines , Yoga and Pranayam, Acupressure, Acupuncture, Magneto therapy, Massage Techniques, Homoeopathy, Siddha, Unani medicines, Tibetan medicines, Reiki, Hypnosis, etc. 

Besides, these therapies, there are several other methods of treatment by traditional healers who, by some sort of exorcism, treat the patients of several diseases which are thought incurable by any other system of medicine. In case of illness, it is always the best to try the natural therapies. If it does not work one can go for the modern medicine, hospitalisation and surgeries etc.  If the modern medicine fails to give the desired results, the patient can at any time opt for the natural therapies, which always have hope for the desperate cases at any stage of illness, till the last breath of the patient, suffering from any disease. It is observed that most of these therapies are very easy to practice by oneself at home, very cheap (most of them are free), without any side effect.

The modern medicine world should use the natural healing therapies as complimentary to their system as they can help tremendously in curing various diseases. On several occasions it is has been observed that the modern medical persons try to create confusion among the ailing persons regarding the natural therapies projecting them as useless and harmful. However, it has been noticed that countless persons are suffering a lot due to the side effects of chemical medication, excess doses, and self-medication and not by the natural therapies. 

Nowadays, all the persons, the world over, are inclined to go for the natural therapies because of their efficacy, especially in chronic illness.

The modern medical science calls it as faith healing because it has not been proven scientifically as to how they work, though many of us have come across and observed miracles in our lives, some time or the other. Some persons who have inherited the manipulating techniques from their ancestors set bones and nerves so miraculously, that, several new and old cases of pains and immobility and numbness of limbs etc. are cured within spur of a moment. Some therapists treat the patients without any charge, while others do it professionally duly, charging fees for their services.

How do the natural therapies work?

Almost all the natural therapies help in removing the very root cause of the problem, may it be due the slackness or over activeness of the organs, deficient circulation of blood, malfunctions of the endocrine glands, imbalance of the body mind and spirit, lack of various natural chemicals in the body due the imbalanced diet and improper assimilation of the food taken, insufficient exercises and sedentary life, toxicity due to the pollutions of various kinds, over use of fertilisers and pesticides, use of artificial preservatives and colours in food, taking too much of medicines, use of tobacco, drugs etc. wrong postures, remaining in single posture for long time, luxurious living habits etc.

The natural therapies bring about a balance in functioning of all the systems of the body. In this process it may take some time and it may even require more than one natural therapy at a time to give the cure. In case the patient is under the medication for blood pressure, diabetes, heart problem, kidney troubles, asthma etc. the medicines should not be stopped, instead, the natural therapies could be tried side by side along with the medicines. The cure depends on the condition of the patient, the period of illness, proper use of the therapies etc.

Since generations the natural therapies have cured many cases but, the same is not recognised by the medical world due to lack of research in this field to find out how do these therapies work. Finally, it is said that these are faith healing only, without any scientific back ground. It is not fair to conclude that which can not proved or seen is of no use and does not have any value. As in the case of Homoeopathy remedies, no medicine is found on analysis, it has not been accepted as medicine and is said to have only a placebo effect. The action of the homeopathic medicines is beyond the understanding of the modern medical science and as such, they call it placebo and not a medicine. The patients cannot be treated by placebo effect, if it were so, than all the other systems of medicine could also have used the same technique, without giving the medicine they could have treated the patients with placebos and there would have been no need of any medicines.

If something is beyond our understanding and knowledge, it is not wise to deny its existence and its functions. We all have heard people saying that the ‘GOD’ is omnipresent; we cannot challenge this only because we have not seen him. We have seen many bone setters, message therapists, exorcists, religious followers etc., the world over, who have been treating people successfully since generations with their traditional techniques. They may not have place in the medical science but they actually are very much effective than the modern medicines. No one should be deprived of these systems of treatment due to the lack of awareness. If any thing is doing good to the humanity is should be widely be accepted and practiced. 

Almost all the natural therapies help to strengthen the immune system of the body so that, the body becomes strong and the disease are thrown out of the body from their very root. We have various natural therapies at our disposal for the cure of our diseases; we should try the therapies which are more effective for our particular problems, after a detailed study of their efficacy mentioned in the leaflets and books written after extensive research and practice. Some therapies have been found more effective for some diseases while some other therapies are found more effective for some other diseases. If the patients suffering from any chronic disease are fed up of taking the modern treatment, they can at any stage come to the Mother Nature and try its various therapies which have very soothing affect. All the systems of healing have their limitations. In some cases, we may not get the desired results, but we can rest assured of the zero side effect.

The need of the hour is to preserve the natural therapies which have proved to be effective since generations.

There is an urgent need for the recognition of these therapies by the medical world and the Government of all the countries, so that, the ailing persons may get the benefits of these wonderful and amazing therapies. Countless therapists all over the world have died along with their experience without being able pass it to the next generation. It is high time that we make a sincere effort to give due importance and save this invaluable heritage of ancient civilizations and the experiences of our ancestors from extinction. These therapists should be given chance to prove the efficacy of their therapy, by allowing them to treat people, and if found really effective and flawless, these therapies should be tried by the medical world with open mind and heart and the research should be done extensively.

This work must be done by universities world over, by identifying various therapies after the due trial of their efficacy on patients, arranging for the research, development, propagation and preserving them for the benefit of ailing persons. These therapies should be taught in the institutions and proper qualification system should be set up, duly giving the practitioners and the students the knowledge of human anatomy, functions of different organs, necessary for the treatment of the patients, so that, the patients do not fall prey to the quacks and half trained practitioners and risk their lives.

The necessary steps should be taken to recognize and establish these therapies as a lawful system of treatment and necessary institutes should be established for imparting their knowledge. The existing institutes should also be streamlined and be brought under the law of the land governing the medicine and the health. In this way the unscrupulous practice of the system could be avoided. The medical claim insurance and other facilities could also be extended to these systems of healing.

The Government of India has taken the initiative in this field by establishing “AYUSH” a new department which deals with the propagation of various natural therapies. There are numerous individuals and organizations throughout India and the world over who have been working relentlessly in this field since their establishment but are still unknown to the suffering persons and the public in general. Several times it happens that there are very simple methods of treating our problems, very near to us, but we are unaware due their non-exposure. The need of the hour is to recognize these individuals and organizations and prepare a directory, so that, they are brought to the knowledge of the public in general and the medical world in the larger interest. 

About Author

About me

Hello friends, I am Gajanand Agarwal, aged about 66 years, born and brought up in a business family, in the small Himalayan state of Sikkim, India. My exposure to various religious and social welfare organisations has always made me interested in social welfare. In the year 1984, I came across a book “Health in your hands” by Dr. Devendra Vora, on acupressure and other natural therapies. I tried several techniques mentioned in the book and found them very effective and without any side effect. I had a chance to undergo a practical training camp conducted by Dr. Devendra Vora in 1994.

After having gained practical knowledge about of these therapies I decided to run free treatment camp in Gangtok, Sikkim, every Sunday from October 1994. Lot of people from different walks of life, suffering from various diseases, from common cold to cancer, came to me for help.  I got the opportunity to help thousands of persons. I attended seminars, training camps, and programs on TV etc.  After having tried these therapies myself and convinced by their efficacy, I advise the same to the patients, when I get positive feedback from them my confidence continues to increase day by day.

Initially, I started with acupressure therapy nearly 40 years back and later developed interest in other natural therapies like yoga, naturopathy, magneto therapy, Reiki and did diploma courses in them. I got basic idea about Homeopathy in the year 1995, studied many books and tried some medicines and I found these remedies work like miracle, only a few doses are sufficient to bring about relief and cure to the patients. Generally, people have a wrong notion, that Homoeopathy remedies work very slowly and have to be taken for long period, but from my past 30 is years of experience, I have noticed that Homeopathy remedies are one of the fastest acting remedies.

I got various opportunities to conduct training cum treatment camps in social welfare organisations, army units, schools, and religious centres on several occasions. Several of my articles were published in news papers and magazines. Several times recorded and live phone in programs, on local cable TV network and the All India Radio, Gangtok, were given which were very helpful to the viewers.
