Siddha Medicine Practice approved in Bahrain

New guidelines have come into force regulating Bahrain's alternative medicine industry.

The National Health Regulatory Authority (NHRA) board has issued four directives to control the sale and prescription of traditional, complementary and alternative medicine (TCAM) following concern about the credibility of some businesses.

NHRA chief executive officer Dr Bahaa Eldin Fateha said that the directives were being implemented with immediate effect.

However, Bahrain's existing TCAM institutions will be given a grace period or six months to correct their status and obtain the necessary licences.

"Traditional healers, who have been practising for generations, can continue their practice but will have to update their level of knowledge on infection control," he said.

"Some practices such as cupping (known as Hujama where the 'bad blood' is sucked out of the body) can lead to spread of diseases, particularly hepatitis and skin infections."

Dr Fateha said a list of approved specialities of TCAM, based on World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines, had been approved for TCAM in Bahrain.

Effectiveness

"These include 13 specialities with proven effectiveness on health and in relieving or treating diseases," he said.

Dr Fateha said the approved specialities included acupuncture, Ayurveda, siddha, massage therapy, chiropractic, herbal therapy, homoeopathy, naturopathy, osteopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Japanese medicine, traditional Mongolian medicine and Unani medicine.

"On the other hand, another nine specialities have been approved, where WHO guidelines have recognised their positive effect on health and on treating and or treating some ailments," he said.

These include aroma therapy, bach flower remedies, colon therapy, chelation therapy, cupping, craniosacral therapy, colon hydrotherapy, reflexology and hydrotherapy.

Siddha Medicine therapy for Autism at Chennai

Swabhimaan is a Trust, lead by Dr.Partheeban a Siddha Medical Graduate working for the welfare of people with autism in India. It is located by the second largest coastline in the world, at the suburbs of Chennai.

The trust was principally started as a Indian medical research center, where yoga, siddha medicines, ayurvedic massages and naturopathy treatments are customized according to the needs of children with autism and found that children were happier and far more co operative. Autism, is a spectrum disorder where no two children are alike. It is a multifaceted disorder, where the various problems of the child cannot be addressed by a single professional. This alone was not enough as we could not cater to their multiple needs. Therefore the trust expanded the center.

Hysteria (சூதிகாவாதம்) in Siddha Medicine

Hysteria in Siddha Medicine

Article by

Divya Jayachandran

It is one of a psychiatric aspects, of much importance since it's prevalence is increasing now a days. This disorder should be clearly understood by the doctor and the relatives of the patient as well, because the symptoms shown by the patient may create an atmosphere of tension around and the physician may misinterpret these symptoms.

In General

Hysteria, in its colloquial use, describes unmanageable emotional excesses. People who are "hysterical" often lose self-control due to an overwhelming fear that may be caused by multiple events in one's past that involved some sort of severe conflict; the fear can be centered on a body part, or, most commonly, on an imagined problem with that body part.

Medical Pluralism hits Business Minds

A new institute, with help from the Tatas, will integrate ayurveda with modern medicine to take medical pluralism forward.

Earlier this month, something unusual happened in India’s high-tech city of Bangalore. Tradition and modernity met in harmony and with a desire to look forward, not back. Ratan Tata, a Parsi, belonging to the most anglicised among Indian communities, and head of a multi-billion-dollar business empire that draws its life blood from knowledge born out of science, inaugurated a research centre that had ‘ayurveda’ as part of its tag line.

The Institute of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine (I-AIM), with a 100-bed hospital, funded by Tata Trust, will try to create a new space for medical pluralism by integrating modern allopathy with the traditional systems of medicine recognised in India - ayurveda, siddha, unani, homeopathy and Tibetan medicine (Sowa-rigpa).

It will cover the entire range of

Siddha wing in all PHCs soon

All primary health centres in the State will soon have a Siddha wing, said Deputy Chief Minister M.K. Stalin here on 2 April 2010.

Inaugurating a seminar on “Tamil medicine, its ancientness and individuality,” Mr. Stalin said realising the importance and efficacy of Siddha medicines, the State government opened Siddha medicine departments in different parts of the State. It is also instrumental in allotting land for the National Institute of Siddha in Tambaram, where 1,000 outpatients were being treated daily. It had also sanctioned five acres in Tambaram for conducting research on Tamil medicines. The State government was also considering the Centre's request for 25 acres in Padappai near Tambaram for setting up an herbal farm.

The Deputy Chief Minister appealed to allopathic and Siddha doctors to work in coordination without any bias. Siddha doctors should take steps to protect the native medicines and continue their research work.He wanted Tamil scholars to bring out in book form what was available in manuscripts to help highlight the greatness of Tamil medicines.

Quoting from various Tamil poems, Mr. Stalin said there were many records to prove that ancient Tamil Nadu was famous for its native medicines.

M. Rajendran, Vice-Chancellor of Tamil University, presiding over the seminar, wanted Siddha doctors to find medicines for new diseases which had been surfacing at regular intervals.

Mayil Vahanan Natarajan, Vice-Chancellor of the Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, said the efficacy of Siddha medicine had not been tapped fully. S. Thanickachalam of the Sri Ramachandra Medical University, Puthu Jayaprakash Narayanan, chairman, Siddha Advisory Council, and R.T. Sabapathi Mohan of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, spoke.
