Dear Guest,

‘Chernobyl’ of the 1986 fame has over the years become a global household word for being the biggest technological catastrophe and causing over 1.5 million people as victims of radiation poisoning, birth defects, loss of vision and appetite, cancer, thyroid disease, anemia, and depressed immune system. Chernobyl symbolizes atonement for our unrestrained yearning for progress. According to a recent research conducted at the Swedish National Institute for Working Life and the University of Oerebro, heavy users of wireless mobile phones face increased risks of developing severe brain tumors. So today, the ultimate question is: In quest of development where is man heading? What we need to realize is, its hi-time to halt and reorganize our way of life. Ayurveda, as in the case of Chernobyl where it played a vital role in treating and reducing illnesses associated with the accident, whether caused directly by radiation or by indirect stress and anxiety that has set apart life in the affected countries over the past 15 years, has by and large come to be looked upon as a universal health care system. At IVAC, we identify with the current health scenario caused by numerous technological factors such as processed food products, polluted environment, access to health-hazarding gadgets and machines, ingestion of chemicals in various ways and also physical and mental overburdening through work, flawed relations and negative emotions. Since wellbeing isn’t merely depended on physical healthiness, we do not just heal diseased body and soul but assist in lifestyle modifications to achieve holistic health. Walk with us along the path of an ayurvedic expedition that’s in-tune with modern concepts to purge sufferings, ailments and to ensure lasting peace and prosperity.

Regards,
Dr. Talavane Krishna
Founder President and Managing Director

Explain Ayurveda’s take on cancer

Ayurveda describes that in cancer, the blood becomes impure due to aggravation of one or more doshas (vata, pitta and kapha). Smoking, chewing tobacco, consuming alcohol, drug addiction, breathing in chemical fumes, eating foods that use high amount of preservatives, or vegetables and fruits that have been heavily processed with chemicals during cultivation are some factors amongst others that aggravate doshas in the body. Soon this impure blood along with the aggravated dosha circulates in the whole body and relocates in a region (organ/system) that has weak immunity. As a result the normal function of blood in that region is disrupted. This leads to improper cell division, which is termed as cancer.

Comment on IVAC’s assistance in healing cancer

Keeping Ayurveda’s scope and limitations in mind IVAC offers lot of support and comfort to patients Post Cancer treatment. To help deal with ablative surgery, radiation damage, chemotherapy hazards, toxicity of drugs and the weakness that follows, specific rejuvenation therapies and rasayanas are prescribed. Shodhana, Abhyanga & Sweda, and Panchakarma therapies (ayurvedic detox program) like Vamana, Virechana, Basti and Nasya are recommended to restore the immune system, by our Vaidyas based on one’s constitution and medical treatment undertaken. The chief focus is to improve vitality and rejuvenate the entire body since unlike other medical systems, ayurveda believes in finding and treating the root cause of a disease.
