Ayurveda Go To Index Page Naturopathy experts concerned over untrained professionals Coimbatore:
Naturopathy experts in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, particularly in Coimbatore,
are expressing concern over the mushrooming of a number of unprofessionally
managed herbal massage centres. Most of them have sprung up around tourist
spots with tall claims of providing Ayurvedic treatment for all kinds
of physical ailments. "There are some crude methods of practice done
in some picnic spots like Kutralam and Okanakkal. Actually when it is
done without any physician's supervision or when it is done by an untrained
messeur, it increases the invertebral disprolapse, pain or it also proves
very harmful for cervical spondylitis patients," said Dr. Uma, an Ayurvedic
specialist based in Coimbatore. Haunted by the toxic side effects of
modern drugs, people from across the world flock to India looking for
succour from alternative medicinal therapies. Experts, however, caution
that there are only a few selective people who understand Ayurveda and
the impact of its treatment. In India, Ayurveda evolved as a system
of medicine around 600 B.C. Though it was found in Himalayas, it developed
in southern Kerala due to favourable climatic conditions.
