Integrated Medicine, a solution for SAFE DIABETES MANAGEMENT

Integrative Medicine is a transformation in healthcare with evidence based practices to achieve sustainable health. It is a concept to strengthen the treating modalities by adding the merits of modern and traditional systems. Integrated medicine is based on the facts that: Every medical system has merits and demerits. Every medical system has its limitations and, None of the medical system is useless. Our tradition & culture is to respect all.

Under such circumstances, the only alternative is to take the best of both worlds (modern and traditional) together and develop effective management of disorder, which is more safer, reduces risks and dependency on long-term medication.

WELLBEEING, is a unit of Aurazia Wellness Pvt Ltd., located in Sahakarnagar, an integrated lifestyle health center providing Diabetes Reversal Program through integrating modern and traditional system of medicines.

“The cause of diabetes is due to lifestyle deviation that strongly contributing for insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production, how can this problem be solved only by treating or managing with medicine? Medicine only focuses on keeping the blood sugar under control, which is only a symptom. It has proven by many research papers, that treating diabetes should go beyond just controlling the blood sugar level, instead stimulate/revive insulin secretion naturally” Says Dr. Rama Mishra, MBBS, MD, Physician and Diabetologist at WELLBEEING clinic.

Dr Kaveri Kuttappa, Ayurveda Physician and also the program Director at the center adds “this can be attained by well guided lifestyle modification program and by combing the benefits of both discipline of medicines – while allopath focuses on screening and providing medicine, traditional science like Ayurveda and Naturopathy focuses on treating the root cause naturally and there by stimulating the natural secretion of insulin”.

WELLBEEING health center, Bangalore has established an Integrated Health Centre with good results and has established significant success on Reversing Diabetes with large number of diabetic patients data bringing them out of insulin, or medication or tapering them down from larger doses of medication. The center also has safe solutions to other disorders such as weight loss program, women’s health, Thyroid, Arthritis, Back pain, Migraine, High cholesterol, and various other integrated programs especially for these lifestyle disorders which generally requires long-term medication. Being an ISO 2008 company, and the winner of Best Start Up Award’ 2017 - ASSOCHAM- Karnataka, the goal of the organization is to develop and provide safer options to those who are suffering from these chronic disorders.

The concept of health care at WELLBEEING is balancing body-mind-spirit. With the alarming statistics of lifestyle disorders today, it's time for people to wake up to the real cause of this catastrophe.

When people recognize the value for it, reforms would be made. Forces will come together to bring systems together and make it more as a movement and order of the day. In fact Government has taken some good initiatives in this direction which is quite encouraging such as formation of National Policy for Integrative Medicine, converting 1.5 lakh PHCs (Primary Health clinics) into health and wellness centers and increasing awareness on importance of prevention and reducing the hospitalization cost. Let’s all join our hands together in making this body a better place to live in and build a sustainable health care!
