AYURVEDA

Ayurveda, one of the oldest systems of medicine and health care dating back to 5000 years are guided by three major bio energies called Vata (air principle), Pitta (fire principle) & Kapha(Water & Earth principle).  To maintain the balance of Vata, Pitta, Kapha, ayurvedic treatments are offered which includes many ancient techniques like Abhayanga, Shirodhara with herbal oil, Panchakarma procedures, Tarpana, Shiro Vasti, internal herbal medications, and many more. Hence, Ayurveda helps in finding the bridge to balance the well-being of an individual with nature’s laws.

DIET & NUTRITION

Food is the primary component in this program! Food is Medicine! Understanding this concept in an easy way is to follow your routine keeping the “Sun” as the guide. Wake up just before the sunrise, after all natural cleansing, expose to sun light to imbibe the warmth and energy from Sun (your first food and primary source of energy!!!). Breakfast must be like the morning warmth of Sun – gentle, easily digestible Lunch again like the quality of Sun – items that increases the body warmth / temperature (maximum calorie of the day), good quality complete meal Supper like the setting sun – warm, but calming, light and easily digestible and EARLY Night if really needed like the Moon – extremely light (reflective of Sun light) semi solid to liquid type only, which are not physically taxing (that requires minimum digestion). As there is Eclipse periodically, develop the habit of abstaining from food as well periodically – Fasting!

PHYSIOTHERAPY

Physiotherapy is a medical treatment and speciality to address the illness or injuries that limit a person’s ability to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives.

A modern gym at SPPC: Considering India’s rapidly growing need of wellness and fitness among the people of all ages, Didi Maa Sadhvi Ritambhara Ji gifted a prime and fully equipped gym to East Delhi people. SPPC tied up with FITREAKS GROUP a premium chain of Fitness Centre in Delhi, to set up the gym.

So if you are looking for a wellness centre right in India's national capital and want to detox without burning a hole in your pocket, SPPC is where you should head.

As one of the senior trustee members put it: "The polluted Environment, the sedentary lifestyles and stressful eco system that we are all part of Today, necessitates that we take up yoga and even other forms of exercise as norm rather than an exception. We as human being would not want to stay in a high life state comprising of good physical health and stress free life for a short or temporary period, it has to be for long term and sustained."

"Hence, we must introduce yoga, Ayurveda and naturopathy in our life, this would gradually also tern us around better Human Beings and which would intern create an more stable societal fabric."
