Nadi Mardan Kriya is an ancient Indian rehabilitative therapy based on the Vedic principles & philosophy. This natural healing therapy deals with nerves, muscles, joints and blood & lymphatic channels. Authorities in the field believe that the body is co-ordinated by three different humors or energy forces as Vata (air) Pitta (bile) and Kapha (water). Neurotherapy helps in restoring and balancing the energy forces of the body that regulates the physiological equilibrium to perform better function of the body, mind and the spirit. Ayurveda deals almost in all branches of medical science. ‘Nadi Vigyan’ (knowledge of nervous system) is one of them. Neurotherapy has always been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a rehabilitative treatment known by different names. Some of the traditional names by which Ayurvedic Neurotherapy is known in India are ‘Ladara’ in North India and as ‘Kerali Massage’ in the South. Ayurvedic Neurotherapy was re-pioneered by Mr. Lajpatrai Mehra in Bombay, India. The term Neurotherapy (neuro means nadi or nerves; therapy is application), was coined in 1950’s. Ayurvedic Neurotherapy, places chief emphasis upon the organism’s integrity of the body’s mechanism as being the most important factor in the maintenance of health.

Ayurvedic Neurotherapy is a complete system of healing, incorporating mechanical, psychological, bio-force, and biochemical aspects. It discovers the root cause of the disease and treats the same in an integrated manner. The disorder of the bodily organs causes an imbalance in the biochemical forces leading to the development of dis-eases. The therapist activates or deactivates the organ(s), through pressure or massage on the nerve channels to stimulate or depress the blood, & other body fluids and the nerve currents so as to restore the balance and harmony of the body thus helping the body regain its equilibrium.

Ayurvedic Neurotherapy, an integrated system of healing, has contributed greatly to alternative medicine. It is used as a therapy for chronic as well as acute diseases. It does not merely concentrate on particular malfunctioning of a system or disease, but deals broadly with the whole body. Ayurvedic Neurotherapy helps healing and treating diseases from fever to cancer, the common cold to heart disease, arthritis to multiple sclerosis etc. However, it does not deal with surgical issues (e.g. hernia).
