Abstract
Abstract
A case report about a female patient has been presented here, who was suffering from various symptoms associated with Hyperacidity, as well as some other ailments.
Based on the principles of Ayurveda, an integrative approach including Panchakarma Therapy, was administered to the patient, in a Spiritual Environment, over a period of 10 days (wherein no therapy was administered on the 4th day).
The patient experienced almost complete relief in the symptoms of Hyperacidity like acidic regurgitation and heaviness in abdomen, as well as complete relief in pain in bilateral (B/L) knee joints. Overall, the patient was feeling very good, light, relaxed, and fresh in the mind after the completion of the therapy.
Thus, integrative approach including Panchakarma Therapy, administered in a Spiritual Environment, showed encouraging results in the management of symptoms associated with Hyperacidity, as well as some other ailments, in a short duration of time.
