TOWARDS A HOLISTIC THINKING – HEALTH & WELLNESS FROM A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE – Report

Summary

Dr Jyothsana briefed about how modern day living is rife with stress and the constant triggers cause imprints in our lives. These get manifested into chronic conditions and become a major cause of worry. It is worth our time to adhere to the adage “prevention is better than cure”, very easily said than done says Dr. Jyothsna.
Dr Jyothsna stressed on the point chronic stress is the single most reason for life style diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cancer etc. Chronic stress pre-disposes us to such conditions. Stress effects the immune system and many of the life style diseases are latent and take time to manifest. The attack is severe when the immune system is weak. Today there are blood tests available to check stress levels of individuals and accordingly take a holistic approach to ones health issues.

During the session Dr Jyothsna explained the holistic or integrative approach to health and what it really looks like and the different ways it can help one achieve “optimal health” from the inside out. Treatment of chronic diseases like cancer are highly intensive interventions and thereby drastically effect the immune system. T-cell transfer therapy is a type of immunotherapy that makes your own immune cells better able to attack cancer. An integrative and complementary plant based therapy approach would greatly help in seting right the immune system. Dr Jyothsna also shared about the ayurvedic product swasth rakshak which can help boost the immune system.

Dr Jyothsna concluded the session expressing the fact that there is an urgent need to change the paradigm in our everyday lives to bring a change in our lives. These approaches seek to address the underlying causes of illness and disease rather than just treating the symptoms.
