Whatever one aspires to achieve in life,
be it Dharma [righteousness], Artha
[wealth], Kama
[desires] or Moksha [liberation] it can be
achieved only if the body is in a state

physician. And the statement makes

Pranic Healing or
Energy Healing
Pranic Healing is the use of the
universal life energy, also known as
Prana, to create health and well-being.
It is a safe and gentle method of
treatment that works with the energy
field that surrounds every individual.
Pranic Healing involves the transference
of this vital energy to the affected
parts of the body to activate the body's
self-healing capacity.
Pranic Healing is not intended to
replace orthodox medicine, but rather to
complement it. The Pranic Healing Centre
offers support for Diabetes,
Hypertension, Arthritis, Heart Disease,
Backache, Respiratory Problems,
Migraine, Menopausal Distress,
Depression, Insomnia and Skin Disorders.
Our healers "scan" with their sensitive
hands to diagnose the problem and
together with Pranic Healing, meditation
and counseling help release any
imbalance.

Sleep Clinic
Sleep Medicine is an evolving medical
specialty. Although sleep patterns
change throughout life, adequate sleep
is an essential part of physical and
emotional health at every stage of life.
According to research, more than half of
all the people over the age of 65
experience disturbed sleep. For some,
these disturbances may center on
difficulty with sleep, while others may
have trouble with mood or performance
during the day. Sleep disorders, sleep
deprivation and sleepiness impact
daytime efficiency and have an overall
impact on health, which is not often
recognized. Although sleep plays an
important role in our life, most of us
tend to ignore problems related to
sleep.
The Sleep clinic at the Wellness centre
aims to evaluate and manage the entire
range of sleep disorders.

DBC Spine Care Centre
Back pain is perhaps the most common
medical condition that cuts across all
age groups. It is estimated that four
out of every five people suffer from
this condition during their lives. In
India, the problem is just as rampant
with the emerging corporate lifestyles
and lack of attention to persistent back
pain. Dubbed as India's first
spine-specific adaptive therapy,
Documentation Based Care (DBC) utilises
the latest approach to chronic pain
management, makes use of special
software and analysis models to document
specific deficiencies in the body and
develops customised programmes before
rectifying it. The concept differs from
conventional physiotherapy in that it
ensures that the patient is protected
from re-injury after undergoing the
treatment.
