Dear respected Vaidyas, I am a born blind suffering with Retinitis Pigmentosa

and Atrophy. For the past one year, I am taking ayurvedic treatment from

Sreedhareeyam Ayurvedic and Eye Research Center, Kerala and experiencing good

progress of my vision. I have recently come to know of an Acupuncture

treatment by a delhi-based doctor for diseases that I am suffering with, that

is, RP and Atrophy. Having spoken to various patients taking acupuncture

treatment, my evaluation is that they are having tremendous/excptional

improvements in their vision within a span of a few weeks. I would now like to

seek the opinions whether I can go for the acupuncture treatment along with or

without ayurvedic treatment. Ayurvedic treatment is very slow. Whereas,

acupuncture is very fast with almost immediate results. Will there be a clash

between these two treatments? Does one treatment adversely effect on the other?

I would appreciate to hear detailed views/suggestions/opinions in this regard

from all in general and from those who specialise in ayurvedic and acupuncture

treatments. I am very thankful for your replies which I hope will receive soon.

P. Subramani.

DEAR SUBRAMANI SIR, IF YOU ARE TAKING THE AYURVEDIC

MEDICINES ORALLY , AND NO LOCAL LEPA, ASCHOTAN, ANJAN POORAN WITH

GHRITA AT THE EYESITE,THEN YOU CAN GO FOR ACCUPUNCTURE,IF ANY LOCAL

AUSHADHIKARAN ,STHANIC SNEHAN, NETRA CHIKITSA IS GOING ON THEN NO

ACUPUNCTURE. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH ORAL AYURVEDIC MEDICATION AND

LOCAL ACUPUNCTURE,dr. pandit sawant

With due respect to other wise counselling online, as

far as I know, there is no conflict taking both

Ayurveda and accupuncture treatments together. On the

other hand, I would also advise doing pranayams, the

seven basic pranayams on which there is a VCD made by

Swami Ramdevji's trust at Haridwar. These CDs are

available at all important music stores and AH Wheeler

shops at the railway stations.

Best luck,

S. M. Acharya

Dear Acharya,

In fact, Ayurvedic medicines have no conflict with any other system of healing,

even allopathy. I have observed that most of the times, Ayurvedic medicines

enhance the beneficial effects of other medicines or activities.It is most

probably the conflict in the minds of practitioners, who wish water-tight

compartmentalism to safe-guard their own interests and prevent losing their

client ie patient, hence create the idea of incompatibility / conflict between

two different systems.

Ayurvedic treatment results can be slow, but slow and steady wins the race.

Taking accupuncture or other alternative treatment along with ayurveda OK, but

listen to your body as accupuncture also manipulates central nervous system.

When patients under heavy antibiotics in pre and post

surgery conditions developed mouth ulcers, lack of hunger,

constipation etc this author has given them ayurvedic suggestions after approval

of attending surgeon and results were always positive.

 

When certain conditions where central nervous system is predominantly

involved, however, " alloptahy mixed with ayurveda, even in neglible

proportion " , has produced undesirable results. A case of a

lady patient is mentioned at

 

http://health.ayurveda/message/9348

 

But this does not mean hard opinion, each case is unique.

 

This post also illustrates how slow ayurveda treatment can be. And how

vaidya has to make his own mixtures instead of going in " ready

medicine " of pharmacies. Every patient is unique. While ready formulations suit

most, exceptional cases are there. Trifla churna causing constipation has been

the experience of a vaidya in this group, posted in archives!
