Alternative Therapies

Other natural therapies at the clinic

Alongside the therapies listed on this website, Arogyam Sutra's team uses other traditional, drug-free techniques from naturopathy, yoga and Indian wellness traditions. Which of these you are offered depends on your consultation.

Typical examples in a nature-cure clinic include:

• Hydrotherapy. The use of water at different temperatures, such as hip baths, foot baths, compresses, wraps and steam.
• Mud therapy. Cooling mud packs applied to the abdomen, eyes or other areas, and in some settings full mud baths.
• Packs and fomentation. Hot and cold applications to the back, abdomen, chest or joints.
• Massage. Relaxing oil massage in the naturopathy and Ayurveda traditions.
• Diet and fasting therapy. Supervised light diets, juice or fruit days and mono-diets, only where suitable.
• Relaxation therapies. Guided relaxation, breathing practices and yoga nidra.

Please ask the clinic which of these are currently available.

How we choose what to offer

Every therapy is suggested only after the consultant has understood your health history, current medicines and goals. The aim is a plan that fits your life, with simple practices to continue at home.

Precautions

Hot applications, steam and fasting are not suitable for everyone. Please tell the team if you are pregnant, have high or low blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, skin conditions, poor sensation in your hands or feet, or any recent illness.
