DHARANA’S WELLBEING APPROACH
DHARANA’S WELLBEING APPROACH
PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE
We understand that the most important prerequisite for a successful wellness programme is an in-depth assessment and diagnosis. As such, your wellbeing programme begins with a thorough evaluation and a series of diagnostic tests to help determine your current health status and needs. This detailed, in-depth approach involves unique testing procedures from varying modalities to detect aberrations in health at an early stage whilst respecting each individual’s unique nature.
OUR PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE TESTING PROTOCOLS INCLUDE FOUR MODALITIES
NON-INVASIVE TESTING
To build a comprehensive physical health profile of your body, our wellness specialists utilise state-of-the-art technology to conduct a series of diagnostics. These might include Iridology, Spectrophotometry Analysis, and Body Composition Analysis.
AYURVEDIC ANALYSIS
Ayurveda, the oldest surviving complete system of knowledge in the world, offers a trusted route to assessing our constitutions. By addressing imbalances of the three primary bio-energetic principles or doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha – which regulate all body and mind functions, we can get to the root cause of health issues rather than offering only temporary solutions. Our highly respected doctors will determine your Prakruti (original nature), assess the imbalances you may be experiencing and thus recommend a curated Dincharya (daily routine) and Ritucharya (seasonal routine).
NATUROPATHY
Traditional Naturopathic Medicine uses natural remedies and therapies to treat the whole person. From Acupuncture, nutrition, colonic irrigation, exercise and herbal medicines, the principles of Naturopathy (first used by the Hippocratic School of Medicine in Greece in about 400 BC) promote the body’s intrinsic healing system to sustain and restore health. Our doctors can recommend the best natural therapies to enhance your healing and wellbeing programme.
PHYSICAL RESTORATION
Knowledge is power. Let’s discover your body’s unique composition – distribution of fat, lean mass, and bone mass and then assess your current fitness levels, the condition of your body’s systems and how many calories you burn when you work out. Our team can then help personalise a programme to best suit you. This analysis is especially helpful for those concerned with rehabilitation from heart disease and other chronic and metabolic conditions. One-to-one motivation and support will help you to sustain a new-found agility and flexibility as well as a renewed perception of your physical self. For everyone, and especially those without serious ailments, Dharana guests can enjoy treks and nature trails as part of our all-encompassing approach to physical restoration.
HEALING NUTRITION
Wholesome, fresh, pure, seasonal and local – the food philosophy at Dharana Shillim is simple. With its roots in age-old Ayurvedic traditions, our menus are inspired by modern food research and nutritional philosophies. Slow cooking techniques and a reverence for the earth’s abundance help to preserve the natural flavours of our food. Those on dedicated wellbeing programmes will receive bespoke menus and in-depth advice specific to their needs. All diets and preferences can be catered for too.
EMOTIONAL BALANCE
Our body affects our mind, and our mind affects our body. As such, purifying and focusing the mind is equally important to any physical actions taken, which is why we offer so many mind-soothing practices, from focused Counselling for specific issues to Meditations and Sound Healing. We believe understanding ourselves and our personalities can help us to better cope with our response patterns to others. Our experts offer varying emotionally balancing routes, including the ability to create a behavioural assessment profile called ‘DiSC®’ (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness) for you. This will help you to understand better and correct your emotional and mental responses to the world. An additional ‘Polysomnography’ test allows us to study your sleep patterns, thus easing any psychological and physiological issues and ensuring deeper rest.
SPIRITUAL HARMONY
To be spiritually well is to be connected to something greater than ourselves. It is about adopting a set of higher values to live by. This provides us with a sense of purpose and meaning beyond the materialistic world. It imbues our daily life with a sense of divinity and invites us to operate from a place of duty so that we might best serve our world. Embodying core Indian Vedic principles, and embracing the timeless practices of Yoga, Pranayama, and Meditation, at Dharana we have created a sensitive environment to encourage your spiritual growth and journey to conscious being. Of course, the physical cleansing of the body and subsequent healing also play a pivotal role in encouraging a state of calm connection and greater consciousness.
