Back pain compromises the quality of our lives, affects careers, hobbies, restricts freedom of social interactions and even our personal lives. It can also cripple us. Surgery can provide a temporary solution to the pain but our movements and flexibility remain restricted. Are you willing to look at a fundamental solution for getting back your ‘quality of life’? Then you should consider Ayurveda and Marmayogi for the fundamental solution.
There are three main reasons why patients from 25+ countries swear by Marmmayogi. But before that we're sure you would like to know how Ayurveda can treat your joint/muscle pain and give you a higher 'quality of life'.
OSTEO ARTHRITIS: Degeneration of the cartilages and weakening of the ligaments holding the joints in position. Could lead to creation of bony spurs.
Symptoms and Reasons for Osteoarthritis: Pain, numbness, inflammation, redness, weakness and stiffness of muscles. People could have some or all of these major symptoms. Generally aggravated due to lifestyle, injury, posture, psychological stress, improper bending or sitting. Could be due to metabolic disorders, or even genetic. Could also lead to deformity and joint breakdown.
Ayurveda Assessment: Degeneration of the soft tissues resulting in calcination and formation of bony spurs. Bones grind against each other due to cartilage degeneration. The spurs protrude onto the surrounding tissues, causing pain and inflammation. Tightened muscles and ligaments prevent free flow of blood and neuro signals. Energy channels get blocked. All this leads to toxin build-up.
Ayurveda Treatment: Purpose is to arrest the degeneration of soft tissue and growth of spur. The approach is to remove the toxins and to strengthen the muscles so that it doesn’t deteriorate further. Hence it becomes important to address at the initial stage itself, so that spur formation and degeneration of soft tissue can be reduced. Moreover if the alignment of the joints have been disturbed, it can be brought back to position using specialised Marma Ayurveda massages**.
Stage one: Reduce inflammation through heat packs and internal anti-inflammatory medicines. Lot of the toxins get reabsorbed into the blood and gets eliminated through sweat, urine and stools. Stage two: Muscle tightness have to be released and circulation improved. Oil lubrication using hot oils and therapeutic massages does just that. Yoga asanas are effective during this stage. Stage three: Elimination of the accumulated toxins using enema, sweating and purgation. Pranayama is effective at this stage. Stage four: The weakened muscles, ligaments, nerves, joints are strengthened using special medicines and special massages** along with internal medicines. Follow-up stage: For a reasonable period after discharge, the patient has to continue internal medicines, good food, good lifestyle and Yoga .This will help to consolidate the effectiveness of the treatment.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: It is an auto immune disease caused due to the inflammation of the soft tissues like cartilages, ligaments and joint fluids
Symptoms and Reasons for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Morning stiffness, pain and numbness due to inflammation. Person could wake up due to pain and it reduces when he becomes active. Left untreated inflammation leads to calcination and fusing of the joints. Inflammation could spread to other organs like heart, lungs, eyes etc. Generally aggravated due to lifestyle, injury, posture and psychological stress. Improper metabolism is a major factor.
Ayurveda Assessment: Inflammation leads to toxin build-up. Dryness of tissues, fluids leads to stiffness of ligaments and muscles. The tissues get slowly replaced by calcium deposits resulting in fusing of the joints. Blood circulation and neurological functions get impaired due to blockage of energy channels. Improper metabolism is the main cause and cause accumulation of toxins.
Ayurveda Treatment: The purpose is to reduce the inflammation by medicated water, powders and to allow the toxins to break down. Once the toxins start to move out of the joints, inflammation reduces. Only then further lubrication and strengthening treatment can be done. Since it is related to metabolism, revival of the ‘metabolic fire’ and immuno modulation becomes critical. These various stages of treatment support this purpose.
Stage one: Reduce inflammation through heat packs and internal anti-inflammatory medicines. Lot of the toxins get reabsorbed into the blood and gets eliminated through sweat, urine and stools. Stage two: Muscle tightness have to be released and circulation improved. Oil lubrication using hot oils and therapeutic massages does just that. Yoga asanas are effective during this stage. Stage three: Elimination of the accumulated toxins using enema, sweating and purgation. Pranayama is effective at this stage. Stage four: The weakened muscles, ligaments, nerves, joints are strengthened using special medicines and special massages** along with internal medicines. Follow-up stage: For a reasonable period after discharge, the patient has to continue internal medicines, good food, good lifestyle and Yoga . All this will help to rekindle the ‘metabolic fire’.

GOUT: It is a metabolic disorder which results in excess uric acid in the body and deposits in joints.
Symptoms and Reasons for Gout: Hot and painful swelling in the joint with stiffness. Severe joint pain when touched. Excess uric acid present in blood stream, tissues and joints due to improper metabolism. Generally aggravated due to lifestyle, injury, posture and psychological stress. Initially in lower limbs and joints, it could spread to all joints. It is crippling and painful.
Ayurveda assessment: Improper elimination from the body and improper metabolism at various stages leads to uric acid build-up. It form sodium urate crystals in the joints leading to degeneration of soft tissues, further leading to inflammation. Tightened muscles and ligaments prevent free flow of blood and neuro signals. Energy channels get blocked. All this leads to toxin build-up.
Ayurveda Treatment: The purpose is to liquefy the urate crystals through medicated heat packs and pastes, so that they are reabsorbed into the blood stream. Improve elimination of the uric acid through internal medicines and by drinking special mediated water. These various stages of treatment support this purpose.
Stage one: Reduce inflammation through heat packs and internal anti-inflammatory medicines. Lot of the toxins get reabsorbed into the blood and gets eliminated through sweat, urine and stools. Stage two: Muscle tightness have to be released and circulation improved. Oil lubrication using hot oils and therapeutic massages does just that. Yoga asanas are effective during this stage.

FROZEN SHOULDER: The shoulder joint loses its flexibility gradually and subsequently freezes.
Symptoms and Reasons: Immobility of the shoulder. Pain and swelling. Lack of usage could lead to degeneration of tissues causing further deterioration. Left untreated, it could lead to wasting of hand muscles due to non-usage.
Ayurveda assessment: The shoulder joint capsule thickens and wraps itself over the shoulder joint, restricting movement. This finally leads to freezing over. Degeneration of the tissues could ensue. Tightened muscles and ligaments prevent free flow of blood and neuro signals. Energy channels get blocked. All this leads to toxin build-up.
Ayurveda Treatment: Purpose is to loosen the joint using heat packs, pastes and oil lubrication. During the process, at the appropriate time, the shoulder joint is completely disengaged using Marma massages**. The various phases support the purpose.
Stage one: Reduce inflammation through heat packs and internal anti-inflammatory medicines. Lot of the toxins get reabsorbed into the blood and gets eliminated through sweat, urine and stools. Stage two: Muscle tightness have to be released and circulation improved. Oil lubrication using hot oils and therapeutic massages does just that. Yoga asanas are effective during this stage.

Now the 3 reasons why patients from 25+ countries trust us.
Reason one: Marma Ayurveda
Like most Ayurveda hospitals we also do the the oil baths, massages and heat packs. What differentiates us is that, we also add-on a specialized branch of Kerala Ayurveda called Marma Ayurveda.
What is Marma Ayurveda? It is common knowledge that healing is much faster when the mind energy supports the treatment on the physical body. The mind-body is connected by energy channels which get blocked or weakened due to the disease. By cleaning and strengthening these channels through Marma Ayurveda, the mind energy flows freely towards the diseased parts. At Marmmayogi, Marma Ayurveda is done along with the Ayurveda treatments, making the massages and therapies far more effective. With Marma Yoga and Marma Meditation, the additional focus on mind-body channels is complete. All this makes the healing process faster. (KNOW MORE ABOUT MARMA AYURVEDA)
Reason two: Personalised attention and treatment
While the common Ayurveda treatments (massages and oil baths) are done by trained therapists, Marma therapy needs years of practice. The chief physician Dr. Manoj, who comes with a family tradition of 250 years, has been personally trained by his grandfather. Dr. Manoj has to do it personally on each patient. Since there is a limit to the number of patients Dr. Manoj can personally attend, we are a small hospital with limited number of rooms. With the doctor and his family staying on the premises, our patients are also pleasantly surprised with the family atmosphere and personalized attention.

Marma Therapy by the Doctor
While Traditional Kerala Ayurveda Therapy is done by Therapists, the Marma Therapy is done by Dr Manoj specific to the health issue.
Reason three: Special proprietary medicines
With a family tradition of 250 years, many highly effective medicines have been handed down over generations. These medicines are not available outside. Fresh herbs collected from the herbal garden are used very frequently in the treatments. All this makes the process far more effective.
