Visit to Sri Sri Ayurveda Hospital Bangalore

Thanks to modern gadgets! most of us today are engaged in a lifestyle where businesses, communication, travel etc have become less tedious compared to what it was say half a century back. Unfortunately instead of easing life it has made the world more competitive, complex, and stressful. Several stress related diseases have crept into our lives and they are ruining lives from a very early age. People have no option but to resort to medicines. Recently I was at Sri Sri Ayurveda Hospital in Bangalore which practices alternative medicine.

Sri Sri Ayurveda Hospital is a popular Indian Ayurveda hospital in Bangalore. The hospital practices Ayurveda Medicine. It is one of the various branches of medical science.

People have found solutions and remedies to their ailments in Ayurveda. Ayurveda science originated in India 5000 years back and is  practiced. The PR Officer of the Ayurveda center took me around the Ayurveda hospital  managed by Sri Sri Ravishankar Ashram.

Hospitals are not a happy place to visit, this too was no different. However listening to some of the success stories of Ayurveda medicines and practices revived my drooping spirits. I was astonished to see the numerable kind of therapies and treatments available. They have doctors in almost all disciplines of medicine.

The hospital is fully functional and is sought after by just not the locals but also by many Indian and international patients. On addition to the routine childbirth cases, they handle many types of physical ailments. They even take up complex cancer cases.

Though the administration feels sad that most cancer patients arrive there in the 4th stage of cancer for treatment when everybody else has given up hope. But in those cases too the Ayurveda doctors keep treating the patients.

One particular case a doctor discussed with me was that of a patient with varicose veins. Her feet had turned blue and she was in a desperate condition both physically and mentally. The concerned department in the hospital took up the case; she underwent ‘leech therapy’. At the end of the course she was running around!

Dental and Ophthalmic Departments

Their dental department boasts of painless tooth extraction. The concept of painless extraction of tooth appealed to me, I promised myself to here if I ever needed one.

The leech therapy they use treat gum disorder sounded so novel to me. Leeches are first purified, (they have their process of sterilizing them) after that they are placed over the inflamed gums. I was like OMG! But then if it ensures complete cure, it better be taken.

Similarly in Ophthalmic department (the departments there have names in Sanskrit and this one is Shalakya Tantra) too they have treatments for visual defects. And they have several success stories where patients who have come with spectacles have returned with improved vision.

I witnessed the process of ‘Tarpana’ on a patient. It is a modified procedure of medication where medicine is filled in the eye for a prescribed time. The mom seemed quite hopeful for her son!

Possible Role in Medical Tourism

Off shoring treatment facilities is the next big thing in health care! Companies abroad tie up with ‘city based high tech hospitals’ and ‘alternative medicines hospitals’ here in India, for their employee’ health care programs. This enables them to cut their organizations’ health care costs. Sri Sri Ayurveda Center in Bangalore is one of the hospitals sought by foreigners.

Incidentally it is institutes like this which has helped India soar to the topmost position in the field of medical tourism!
