Healing from Chronic Pain and Obesity Begins Internally

The inspiring journey of a 33-year-old suffering from Chronic Pain, Obesity and Hypothyroidism…

LIFE BEFORE ATMANTAN

After being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis just five months ago and having coped with Hypothyroidism for years (15 years), this 33-year-old lady guest was determined to take control of her health. Also dealing with grade 3 obesity, she decided it was time she sought Atmantan’s support in finding better ways to manage her condition and healing holistically.

HEALING JOURNEY AT ATMANTAN

Upon her arrival, she had a consultation with the Doctor, during which her complete medical history was reviewed, diagnostic tests were conducted and her blood works were analysed. She was then prescribed a 28-night Ayurveda Panchakarma retreat to focus on improving her joint and bone health, manage her hypothyroidism, and enable her weight loss goals.

Atmantan is known for facilitating integrated wellness for all its guests. Thus, the personalised programme for the guest included various therapies from Ayurveda and other holistic sciences such as acupuncture and physiotherapy for pain relief. Following this integrative approach, the Doctor prescribed a combination of treatments in tandem with Ayurvedic therapies through the month-long duration. Targeted treatments of Padabhyanga (Helps with lower limb fatigue, activates metabolism, and prevents degeneration), Janu Vasti [A1] (gives relief from arthritis, reduces inflammation, while lubricating the joints and enhancing flexibility), Choorna Pinda Sweda (a great therapy to relieve aches and strengthen muscles), along with regular Physiotherapy and other wellness services like deep tissue massage and hot stone therapy were prescribed too. All these aide recovery and revive the body’s innate healing.

Along side this, she was also recommended certain daily fitness activities and Yoga sessions including therapeutic yoga for arthritis to enable ease of movement throughout her time at the wellness centre.

For the duration of her stay, she was also prescribed a grain-free, low carbohydrate and moderate protein diet. She was also prescribed with a therapeutic liquid fast for 5 days for the purpose of flushing out the cellular toxins and to reboot the gut. The diet was also supplemented with Atmantan Naturals Boswellia Max (to reduce pain, swelling and inflammation in the joints) and Natflam-6 ( to fight to reduce systemic inflammations),  and Thyrocare (for improved thyroid performance and hormone balancing effect) Additionally, Ashwagandha, Triphala, and Liver flush shots were part of her recommended meal plan.

HER TRANSFORMATION | AYURVEDA PANCHAKARMA | 28 NIGHTS

Please Note: These results may vary depending upon body type and pre-conditions.

Her 28-day retreat at our wellness centre yielded outstanding results!

She visibly experienced significant improvements in her overall well-being and was feeling more energetic and positive about her health journey. Her physical pain levels had significantly decreased from 9 to 4 during her stay at the centre and further reduced to 2 post the 1 month follow up after leaving the centre allowing her to comfortably manage her day-to-day activities. This proved to her that she could achieve significant relief from her Rheumatoid Arthritis and manage her pain more proactively. She felt extremely empowered and felt confident to continue with this improved lifestyle back home.

Even her thyroid levels were normalised, and her medicines were also tapered!

Her weight had reduced by an impressive 13 kgs, contributing to a substantial drop in her BMI from 53.8 to 48.6. In addition, even her visceral fat (the fat around one’s organs) had decreased from 37 to 33. Her fat mass had substantially reduced by 20 kgs (going down from 97.4 kgs to 77.4 kgs)! TSH, which was 5.6 on admission, reduced to 4.3 after 28 days and further decreased to 4.0 after 2 months of admission though her thyroid medications were tapered only 15 days after admission.

With a newfound sense of determination, she was committed to her transformation. She was determined to take back the integrating practices she had learnt here into her daily life. As she signed up for the Atmantan Aftercare programme, she knew that the guidance of the Doctors would ensure her continued improvement and management.
