A new approach to life
Health An alternate therapy to kick your old habits that die hard
It started with just one or two a day and now I can’t live without it. It relieves my stress and makes my mind alert.
How
often do we hear people say this when asked to quit smoking or any
other addictive habit? For a few, what started off casually as a stress
buster grips them so gradually that they don’t realise they are getting
addicted. Many people desperately wish to release themselves from a
toxic practice, whether it is alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual addiction,
negative thinking, insomnia or depression.
To address
multiple issues on how to overcome numerous toxic habits, the National
Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) protocol in association
with 7-Radiations-SATCH (Sanctum of Alternate Therapies and Conscious
Healing) will conduct a workshop for the first time in the city. The
session focuses on complete wellness therapy using standardised
auricular-acupuncture techniques that deal with any kind of craving or
addiction or emotional, behavioral and mental restlessness. The
treatment deals with both acute and chronic pains that many suffer
quietly.
Suneel Vatsyayan, Chairman of NADA India
Foundation says, “The therapy aims at bringing new life for those who
want to overcome any kind of disorder or pathological pain through
relaxation techniques.”
J. Maria Doss, a medical
practitioner from Bangalore, talks of the benefits of the therapy.
“Auricular-acupuncture therapy aims at treating people without using any
medicines,” she says. “It is safe and globally accepted technique that
has no side effects and follows simple relaxation methods. By
identifying the points such as shen men, sympathetic, point zero,
tranquilizer and lung point in the auricle (external ear), the urge to
smoke or drink will be viewed in a different perspective altogether.”
She says the person will be transformed and able to withdraw from any
type of addiction.
R. Rachana, alternative therapist
of 7-Radiations-SATCH, explains the methods used. “Each treatment is
case specific and lies in identifying the right points in the ear.
Probes help in identifying the pathological points and treating them
accordingly.”
A workshop will be held by NADA
protocol on Sunday between 10 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. at 7 Radiations-SATCH,
Pedawaltair. The entry fee is Rs. 1000. For further details phone
