Margherita Civil Hospital in Assam has emerged as a beacon of hope for patients seeking holistic and traditional medical treatments.
Since March 8, 2019, under the dedicated guidance of Dr Sashindra Barman, a Co-District Medical Officer and a passionate advocate for Ayurveda, the hospital has been offering Panchakarma therapy—a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine.
Panchakarma, a detoxification and rejuvenation therapy, has treated over 700 patients suffering from a range of ailments, including paralysis, neurological disorders, arthritis, and even poisoning.
This ancient form of treatment uses herbal remedies and natural therapies to restore balance and promote health, drawing from a 5,000-year-old tradition that had once been on the verge of extinction.
The word "Ayurveda," derived from the Sanskrit terms Ayur (life) and Veda (science or knowledge), literally means "the science of life." It emphasizes a balanced lifestyle and natural healing. Thanks to Dr. Barman's relentless efforts, this traditional medical practice has found a new lease of life in Margherita.
Dr Barman's vision and dedication have transformed Margherita Civil Hospital into a centre of excellence for Panchakarma therapy, attracting patients from diverse backgrounds. His work highlights the importance of preserving and integrating ancient wisdom into modern healthcare.
Patients undergoing Panchakarma therapy at the hospital have reported significant improvements in their health. The holistic approach not only addresses physical ailments but also promotes mental well-being, making it a preferred choice for many seeking alternative treatments.
Margherita Civil Hospital’s success story is a testament to the enduring relevance of Ayurveda in today’s medical landscape. It showcases how traditional systems of medicine when practised with dedication and expertise, can complement modern healthcare and offer effective solutions to chronic conditions.
