Applied Acupuncture

 

Applied Acupuncture is a unique concept of therapeutic practice founded as a result of a decade of research work by Dr.R.Thayumanavan in the field of Acupuncture & other Alternative medical systems. It is a whole-person, relationship based model of care that uses a multi-disciplinary approach. Designed to create the best path of healthcare for each individual, Applied Acupuncture combines conventional Chinese Acupuncture methods with modern scientific researches by the way making a holistic approach for more accurate diagnosis of ailments to ensure a better health experience. Both Doctors and Patients alike are bonding with the philosophy of Applied Acupuncture and its whole-person approach focused on treating the person, not just their present symptoms.

 

The partnership between Patient and Practitioner is essential in delivering the best medicine practices from a cohesive balance of conventional, alternative, and complementary therapies. A guiding principle within Applied Acupuncture is to use methods that have high-quality scientific evidence to support them.

Sujok Acupuncture

 

Sujok Acupuncture is a Korean method where the treatment is performed on both hands. It is based upon the theory, that the hand is a micro-universe of the human body. The backside of the body is represented on the backside of the hand and the foreside on the palm of the hand. The functions of human physiology can be influenced by stimulating specific corresponding points on the hand for the treatment and prevention of specific conditions and for health maintenance. Similar to the Chinese Acupuncture, all sorts of diseases are successfully treated worldwide with Sujok Acupuncture.

It is one of the most efficacious acupuncture treatment experienced in clinical practice. There are several options to using needles and this is extremely important in certain circumstances:

​

• When a person has a fear of needles

• When a child needs treatment

• When a person is too sensitive to the treatment

​​

Auricular Acupuncture

 

The theory is that the ear is a micro system for the rest of the body, in contrast to the acupuncture macro system of meridian channels that extend over the whole body. The ear represents the whole anatomical body, but in an upside down orientation. The ear is compared to an inverted fetus, with the head on the lower ear lobe, the feet at the top of the ear, and the rest of the body in-between. There are up to 200 acupuncture points on the outer ear, each point named after an anatomic area or body function, such as hips, knees, stomach and heart.

The corresponding points are stimulated to encourage the body to heal itself. Each acu-point on the ear triggers an electrical impulse from the ear to the brain and then to the specific area of the body being treated.

Auricular acupuncture helps headaches, body pain, sleep troubles, depression, stress, anxiety, addiction, fear, obesity, hypertension, anger and food cravings by regulating the sympathetic nervous system. Mentally and emotionally, it promotes feeling clear, calm, alert and focused.

 

Cupping

 

Cupping is a safe, non-invasive, and an inexpensive technique, which practitioners use to treat a myriad of conditions, like colds and flu, upper respiratory infections, and problems of the internal organs. Recently, cupping has been in the media for muscular pain, bone pain and spasms, particularly on the back and shoulders, and also helps successfully cellulites.  Cupping therapy stimulates micro blood circulation, to the localized area. The cups are round and are usually made of glass. The cups are warmed inside, which creates a vacuum. The cups are then placed over the selected area, which is usually on the patient's back.

Cupping is primarily used when the Qi is inhibited at certain points, or when Qi stagnation needs to be drawn to the surface of the body from deep within. Cups are sometimes placed over an acupuncture needle that has been inserted. Moving or sliding cupping, which is a variation, may also be performed.

 

Moxibustion

 

Moxibustion is the process of burning an herb called moxa (artemisia vulgaris, commonly known as mugwort), which provides warmth at specific acupuncture points. While acupuncture can only manipulate Qi that is already available in the body, moxibustion adds Qi to the body. This makes the treatment of choice for breech presentation when used during the final month of pregnancy. The turning of breech babies has long been well known to respond to moxibustion. By burning moxa over acupuncture point, it can relax the muscles in the uterus, allowing the baby to turn. Moxibustion has unique healing properties as it warms the area, increases circulation, and alleviates pain. Practitioners of Acupuncture also use moxibustion to prevent illness, boost immunity and increase vitality. Moxibustion can be applied directly to the body, indirectly to the body on top of a layer of ginger, garlic or salt, near the body if moxa sticks are used, or attached to needle handles when used in combination with acupuncture.

 

 

Detox Foot Spa

 

Why do we need to detoxify our body?

We are all exposed to toxins every day, in the water, food, air etc. Drugs become part of our toxic load. Most people have metal toxins in their body as well.

​

How does the System work?

The foot spa contains water, a saline solution and an electromagnetic device called an array. The System produces a charge which stimulates the cells within the body. The positive and negative charges in the water allow the body to attract and use the negative ions to re-balance and release toxins. The most convenient and effective way to release these toxins is through the 4000 pores on the feet. Following a treatment the body will continue to detoxify for up to 48 hours.The System helps to re-balance and re-establish the Bio-Energetic Fields of the body. The water change colors because of the interaction of the toxins released from the body in combination with the metal from the array when creating an ionic field in the foot spa. Practitioners link color changes to areas of the body, based on the clinical results.

Wellness Meditation

 

A perfect health can be attained only when the body, mind & spirit are in harmony. Apart from medicine, there are still more areas to be uncovered in finding the exact cause & effect of a disease, where the modern medicine fails to answer it when a disease occurs first and sometimes reoccurs even after treatment. In such conditions we can term the disease is ‘deeply rooted in the spirit’ and Meditation becomes the only key to access our spirit. At Guru Ram, we assist people to get them involved in our ‘Wellness Meditation’ program aimed at “Cleansing One’s Spirit”, where we help them to obtain the wellness at the spiritual level, thereby attaining a sound body & sound mind.

Staying true to our mission, we stress that all therapies are fully physician supervised and have high quality scientific research to support them.
