Functionally integrated³    evidence based²    traditional health systems¹

The important aspect of what is done at Our Native Village is that we will be delivering functionally integrated³ evidence based² traditional health systems¹.

¹ Traditional health systems: The traditional health systems Our Native Village will uses is Ayurveda, naturopathy, yoga (asanas, pranayams, mudras) meditation, acupuncture and nutrition.

² Evidence based: All the traditional health systems that Our Native Village delivers is evidence based. The treatment protocols have proven scientific evidence that has been published in peer review journals.

Why do we only use evidence based medicine? Until now mainstream allopathic medicine professionals have not accepted traditional health systems the traditional health professionals have not been able to show evidence for their treatment methodologies. Knowing that the allopathic system is based purely on evidence based modern science thinking, the rejection of traditional health systems has been understandable. The argument that Ayurveda and yoga are thousands of years old has never been convincing for the allopathic professionals and to those who are purely rational in their thinking. However everyone is receptive to evidence based traditional health systems  and some allopathic physicians are willing to go to the extent of prescribing evidence based Traditional health systems  for their patients.

³ Functionally integrated: Functional integration of traditional health systems is when where individual units of all forms of traditional health systems are integrated into one treatment. This has not happened in India. We see physical integration, when we see a yoga therapist in an allopathic hospital, or an ayurvedic physician in a naturopathic hospital etc. In these instances, the traditional health systems unit becomes an option for patients and is not functionally built into the treatment plan. However at Our Native Village we have functionally integrated all traditional health systems into the treatment plan. A common treatment plan is developed which has components of the different traditional health systems, where in the different traditional health systems contribute to the overall treatment in a quantum manner (sum of the parts is bigger than the whole). This becomes particularly important when treating neuro conditions along with allopathic treatments.
 

• In cases where patients are already following treatment prescribed by their treating neurologist/neuro surgeon, this will be continued.
• An allopathic doctor at our end will take care of medical management, and will be in touch with the consulting neurologist or the hospitals neuro team.
• Conventional neuro rehab will be followed, but will be enriched with rehab principles and protocols from traditional health systems.
• As mentioned already, the main systems used are Yoga (pranayams, asanas, mudras), Meditation, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Acupuncture & Nutrition, and all these conform to evidence based scientifically proven protocols from the traditional health systems.
