A ready reckoner to health care institutes
Though several of these alternative medicine and fitness traditions had diminished over the last few centuries, there has been a revival, especially since independence, and a lot of headway has been made in establishing institutes where these vital sciences are not only taught, they are also offered as courses to visitors. A few selected institutes are mentioned here, as ready reference. GOVERNMENT YOGIC TREATMENT CUM RESEARCH CENTRE  Rare because it is the only government-supported yoga centre in India , the institute was stablished in 1961. Ever since, it has found yoga-based remedies for ailments such as asthma, diabetes, and other internal disorders. No medicines are used in the treatment, with yoga being the only method of finding relief from chronic problems. Naturopaths work in a fully-equipped laboratory, and treatment for its patients who reside on the premises is free, as is the board and lodging.   NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF AYURVEDA  Established as an ayurvedic college in 1946 by the former rulers of Jaipur, it has since been upgraded, and its impressive complex on Amber Road houses thirteen departments of medicine and an attached hospital. It has a fine collection of medicinal plants, and its own pharmacy where herbal and vegetable drugs are manufactured.   NATURE CURE CENTRE  Colloquially called Prakritik Chikitsalaya, this nature cure institute has been a pioneer in the field since five decades. A health farm, it uses the five elements in its treatment with fasting, sun bathing, mud baths, wet sheet packs, steam baths, and water therapy to offer remedies for arthritis, acidity, asthma and other respiratory ailments, bronchitis, colitis, diabetes, heart problems, obesity, jaundice, and lumber spondylitis. Set in a garden complex, and with separate wards for men and women, it also has a juice centre, dairy farm, acupressure pathway and physiotherapy centre within its three acre premises.   NAVNEET PRAKRITIK YOGA CHIKITSA DHAM  Located outside Jaipur, this yoga and naturopathy centre is a modern complex where sadhaks (promotives) rather than patients are provided hope in the treatment of a very large number of diseases and disorders. No medication is offered, and with gentle exercise, clean living, and natural foods, cures are found to the debilitating ailments from which people suffer.   RAJASTHAN SWASTHYA YOG PARISHAD  Yoga consists of breathing and physical exercise, and the proper manner in which these are performed can lead to amazing results in people, curing them of ailments and increasing the longevity of their lives. The organisation here is a training centre in yoga, and has as many as ten other centre in Jaipur alone, with more outside the city.   VIPASSANA DHAMMATHALI CENTRE FOR MEDITATION One of the branches of the institute in Maharashtra , this beautiful centre disburses training in the ancient technique of vipassana meditation as practiced two-and-a-half-thousand years ago by Gautam Buddha. The complex has a distinctive Buddhist look, and there is a central meditation hall for one-hundred-and-fifty people as well as one-hundred-and-sixty cells. Meditation courses at the complex last ten days for beginners, and longer ones of twenty, thirty and forty-five days duration for the more experienced. There are also refresher courses for old students of one, three and ten days.   YOGA SADHANA ASHRAM  A prominent yoga centre, started in 1969, the ashram nestles in a serene environment, and besides regular classes in the morning and evening, also has courses lasting three months to a  year. Besides yoga, it also undertakes the yogic treatment of cardiac problems, psychic disorders, blood pressure complaints, and spondylitis.   OTHER INSTITUTES IN JAIPUR  Besides these, there are a number of other centres in Jaipur that are associated with natural or alternative forms of medicine. These include the Todarmal  Homeopathic and Acupressure Chikitsalaya for acupressure and naturopathy; and the Yoga Acupressure Magnetic Chikitsa Paramarsh Kendra for acupressure healing.
