Methods/Modes of Therapy
At Aantarya, we have brought together a number of techniques classified under different methods/modes of therapy. It essentially involves observational diagnosis followed by a customised and selective approach to therapy. A synergy of the selected processes leads to effective healing.
Acupressure and Acupuncture:
Acupressure and acupuncture focus on the root cause of the condition, rather than looking for quick fixes for the symptoms. Further, it is important for the healer to make a strong connection with the patient for the therapy to be more effective. Intuition in diagnosis and selection of an appropriate protocol is the cornerstone to revealing and treating the underlying cause of a disorder. In trained hands, acupuncture can be used in tandem with modern medicine, and even alleviate its side effects. It can be adopted both as first aid to avert serious conditions, as well as to treat several acute and chronic disorders. Uniquely, it can boost immunity, fight infection and maintain homeostasis.
How does it work?
As per the theories of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), imbalance of the energy systems in a being leads to disease. The healer works towards correcting and harmonising the Qi or prana whose uninterrupted flow is the key to good health. In the absence of a smooth flow an excess or deficiency of energy is created. The therapy involves channelling the energy as required to achieve balance.
Yoga Therapy:
For the restless mind yoga gives solace. For the sick, it is a boon. For the common people, it is the fashion of the day to keep themselves fit and beautiful. Some use it for developing memory, intelligence and creativity. Specialists use it to unfold deeper levels of consciousness and move towards perfection. Yoga therapy could play a vital role in preventing diseases and promoting positive health. It is a holistic treatment for illness encompassing physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions.
How does it work?

Daily practice slows down the breath, calms the mind and relaxes the body, and helps overcome such disorders.
