Packs make the skin smoother, regulate body temperature, relax the muscles and joints and relieve inflammation and pain.
A) Mud Packs
The dark colour of Mud absorbs sunlight into the body while the moisture keeps the body cool. This relaxes muscles, reduces inflammations and relieves pain. Its minerals replenish and sooth the skin. Thus, this is useful in the treatment of Arthritis and Skin Diseases.
B) Wet Sheet Pack
The whole body is wrapped in a wet sheet, which in turn is wrapped in a dry blanket for regulating evaporation. This pack is useful in cases of fever especially in typhoid and continued fevers, and benefits those suffering from insomnia, epilepsy and infantile convulsions. It is useful in relieving chronic cold and bronchitis and helps in the treatment of rheumatism and obesity.
B1) Cold Compress
Cold packs regulate body temperature, slow down blood circulation thereby relieving inflammation, swelling and pain.
B2) Heat Compress
Heat Packs help to relax body muscles and relieve pain. Heat dilates the blood vessels thereby increasing flow of oxygen and nutrients to the muscle/ body part being treated.
Acupressure is an alternative medicine technique in which practitioners use their hands, elbows, or feet to apply pressure to specific points along the body’s “meridians.” The premise is that illness can occur when one of these meridians are blocked or out of balance; acupressure is thought to relieve blockages so energy can flow freely again, restoring wellness. Furthermore, Acupressure can decrease nausea for chemotherapy patients and reduce anxiety in people scheduled to have surgery.
Acupuncture is an alternative medicine technique in which disposable needles are used by a practitioner to penetrating the skin at various pressure points throughout the body. This releases body pain especially in the neck and back regions.
EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation) is a non-invasive treatment for Angina (chest pain caused by coronary heart diseases). During the treatment, the patient lies on a comfortable treatment table with large blood pressure-like cuffs wrapped around the thighs, calves and buttocks. A continuous ECG (Electro Cardiogram) is used to set a rhythm of inflation and deflation for the cuffs, such that they inflate while the heart is at rest and deflate at the end of the rest period, just before the next heartbeat. The special sensor applied to the finger checks the oxygen level in the blood and monitors the pressure waves created by the cuffs.
Approximately 80% of patients who complete the 35-hour course of EECP® Therapy experience significant symptom relief that may last up to three years.
