Siravedhana
Siravedhana, also known as Marma Chikitsa (Marmapoint therapy), is an integral part of Ayurveda and utilizes an energetic pathway and point system similar to other forms of healing arts practiced in East Asia. It was almost a lost healing art within the practice of Ayurveda due to many factors. There has been considerable effort in the past few years to revive the practice of this energetically based therapy. Dr. Danesh Surya has studied and practiced this style of treatment throughout his career and integrates a modern approach to this ancient healing art. He uses soft laser, micro-current and manual therapies including the use of various gentle therapeutic tools in the application of Siravedhana. This technique can obtain all the healing effects and benefits of other forms of East Asian techniques without using needles. This makes this energy system style of treatment opens the healing technique to a wider segment of the population since most people cringe at the thought of being stuck with needles.
Siravedhana can be used to treat the imbalances in the body that present as physical disease while also helping to balance the emotions and mood. The therapy looks similar to other therapies such as acupressure or acupuncture since it focuses on opening the circulation through various pathways and points on the body (marma points). Tongue, pulse and other Asian medicine styles of assessment are used, similar to Chinese Medicine. However, there are differences in the terminology and differentiation of a patient's condition that are unique to Ayurveda in determining an individual's specific constitution and patterns of imbalance according to the three doshas.
Dr. Danesh uses a variety of traditional and modern techniques in his practice of Siravedhana including thermal, manual, electrical and photonic (laser) techniques to influence the body's healing potential within the practice of this Ayurvedic healing art. He addresses a wide variety of health and wellness concerns combining this effective therapy with the other aspects of Ayurveda including herbal medicines. Patients find treatments to be very relaxing, rejuvenating and revitalizing.
