COIMBATORE: City-based Sri Ramakrishna Hospital and Chennai-based Buddhi Clinic opened a brain and mind care centre here on Monday.
The firms plan to combine scientific knowledge along with ancient medical practices like ayurveda to treat neurological and mental health issues. They hope the integrated approach will improve quality of life for patients with neuro-disabilities and mental health problems.
The centre has created a range of interventions for pain, mental health, lifestyle and disability, said Dr Ennappadam S Krishnamoorthy of Buddhi Clinic. “Allopathy, along with traditional healing therapies, can restore equilibrium of the brain and mind interface. This integrated approach offers 14 non-pharmacological treatment modalities that are an amalgamation of modern science and ancient wisdom,” he said.
