OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a condition where the patient is obsessed or stuck-up with one particular thought process or involved in some action/ work repeatedly. In some patients this condition may develope suicidal tendency, depending on the kind of thought that troubles them. Though many patients are aware of their problem and desperately wish to come out of it, they are compelled to continue a hapless life, without finding an effective remedy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Aversion therapy alone is proving to be less effective or ineffective in many cases in managing the OCD problem. We realize that it can't just be done with mental exercise alone, as it has much more to do with the body as a whole on physical, mental and spiritual well-being . Advanced Ayurvedic approaches on OCD cases at Dr.Nambiar's Ayurveda have shown significant changes in their behavior and thought process. it is observed that, over a period of time, the patient is able to overcome the condition gradually. There are significant improvement noted in their ability to suppress /overpower the negative thought with the positive one. The frequency of the episodes start receding to a good extend and they eventually, lead a normal life leaving behind their compelled obsessiveness to one particular thought or action. - Dr.Nambiar’s Advanced Ayurveda Aundh, Pune.

Do you experience Pain, tingling sense, numbness in one or both hands, wrist and fingers then it might be due to the compression of a nerve against the bony structure mostly the median nerve that passes in-between the small carpel bones inside the wrist that extends up to the finger tips. This disease is called as CTS or Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. Any kind of over usage of hand and wrist repeatedly for a longer period by bending laterally or rotating is the main cause of this problem. People from IT sectors or whoever uses the mouse in a wrong position, housewives, maids and laborer are the mostly affected. This could be treated successfully in a couple of week without surgery / cortisone injection, at Dr.Nambiar's Advanced Ayurveda. Earliest the measures taken, quicker the relief you achieve. HOW TO AVOID CTS - Practice warm-up exercise for hands and wrist every time before starting any manual work, by 1. slowly rotating hands in clockwise and anti- clockwise direction. 2. stretching wrist by holding both hands together with crossed fingers for about half a minute each.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skeletal system. Especially affecting the spine and Sacro-illiac joint. The early symptom starts with pain in either or both of the SI joint. Later the lower part of spine and /or the upper part of spine gets involved with pain and stiffness. Morning stiffness, mild feverishness are often complained by patients in the initial stage. Gradually it spreads to the other vertebral levels, intercostal joints on chest, resulting to limitted mobility with severe pain, postural abnormalities, buttock pain, hip pain, peripheral arthritis. This being an auto-immune disease and a systemic disease, any coexistence of other disorders involving other joints and systems cant be ruled out. Systemic inflammation is evident as the extra articular manifestations, like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Acute Uvitis, Psoriasis, cardiovascular disease. In modern medicine the anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids and Biologics are being advised which may coverup the inflammation, pain but they suppress the immune function of the body as well. Patients with presenting complaints of pain in the sacro-iliac joint and stiffness in the spine are advised for tests like HLA B27, CRP to rule out AS. if they come up as positive, an effective treatment could be provided to arrest and reverse at an earier stage itself by observing the diet and lifestyle as practiced in ayurveda for the kind of disturbance in the bio-energies basically all the three dosha and dhatu like Asthi and Majja. The therapies and medications followed in ayurveda here are proven to be effective in reversing the disease. In the initial week, the anti-inflammatory medicines and steroids are withdrawn as the pain subsides and the flexibility in spine and joints improves to a good extent. Further, the posture and the general well being of the patient improves well. The systemic involvement also subsides and patient start leading a normal life without any support of pain killers.

The fact that we have'nt ever realised is that 95 % of the joint diseases do not require surgery. Any kind of inflamation associated with or without pain in joints are called as Arthritis. Among the types of arthritis, the commonly seen are - Osteo-arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Gout arthritis, Psoriatic arthritis and Septic arthritis. Dificiencies in vitamins & minerals  especially calcium and vitamin-D can also lead to certain joint diseases.  There are few viral diseases that affect the immunity, cause weekness and debilitate the joint function like chikungunia. Joint deformity caused over a period of time either due to excess wear and tear or as a result of chronic degenerative joint diseases  may require surgical intervention to restore mobility. Therefore in such cases partial or total joint replacement are recommended. Majority of the cases who are recommended with Joint replacement surgery are Osteo arthritis or AVN sufferers. Osteo- arthritis is a degenerative joint disease. Osteo arthritis in the initial and 2nd degree can be treated and restored to its normal function and in 3rd degree  the process of degeneration could be arrested /deleyed and maintained with effective ayurvedic therapies and certain exercises. In 4th degree of OA where the miniscus  between the knee joints are worn out and the bones touch each other to erode their surfaces and the joint goes out of alignment then knee replacement is the last resort. It is true that maximum of the joint diseases do not require surgery but among the rest of them which required surgery some are because of our negligence, ignorance  and lack of awareness about the disease and its proper treatment. If proper measures are taken in the very early stage, we can arrest or deley even the degenerative joint diseases like osteo-arthritis and Avascular-necrosis which are  recommended with surgery after the condition deteriorates to the 3rd or 4th stage. Thus preserving and maintaining the wellness of joints should be given a priority.  

Spondylosis is a degenerative disc disease that is associated with the intervertebral discs made of thick ligament found in between the vertebra, that gives a cushion effect and support to the spine. Any past history of trauma or repeated jerk while commuting on bad roads or by sitting or lying down in bad postures and sedentary lifestyle leads to this disease. spondylosis affected in the neck area among the cervical vertebrae is called as cervical spondylosis and when it affects the low back involving the lumbar and sacral areas of the spine, it is called as lumbar spondylosis. This problem is treated well with various specific Ayurveda therapies (in a course period of 14 to 28 days) designed as per the experience of the physician. This unique approach of therapies and medication are observed to be able to strengthen and support the tissues, ligaments and muscles of the spine and nourish the affected discs and prevent further degeneration, reduces inflammation among the tissues and ligaments to a great extend, minimize or zero down the neural root compression and stabilize the health of the vertebral column. Further the precautions are to be strictly followed to attain good recovery and prolonged benefits. Kindly refer ' Testimony' section to view our Patient's feedback and our success stories.
