Geriatric Care

Geriatric (old age) care

The most common health concerns for our seniors are :

  • Arthritis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Heart diseases
  • Cancer
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Parkinsonism
  • Depression
  • Dementia

We at Prana HYC, not only focus on the physical health of our seniors but also on their mental, emotional, and intellectual health.

Alzheimer’s is a progressive and fatal brain disorder, causing memory loss, and problems with thinking and behaviour, severe enough to affect work and also personal, family and social life. As the disease progresses, the patient loses all self-care abilities, becomes dependent, and cannot bathe, dress or feed himself/ herself. There is no cure for this condition, but homoeopathy with the help of yoga and pranayam and supplemented with counselling can provide hope to the sufferer and the family members, by arresting the progress of memory loss without any side effects. I must say we have all the above modalities under one roof, here at Prana HYC.

Similarly, Depression is a threat to senior health. Depression can lower immunity and can compromise a person’s ability to fight infections.

The common symptoms of depression are persistent feelings of sadness, loneliness, and loss of interest even in life. In such cases, it is essential to address the possible underlying causes and associated conditions like nutrient deficiencies, alcohol consumption, hypoglycemia, diabetes, any incurable disorders, menopausal syndrome in women, etc.

Dementia is not a specific disease. It’s an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills. It reduces a person’s ability to perform everyday activities.

All these disorders make our Senior Citizens a Liability for their families instead of being an Asset.

We at Prana ensure their physical, emotional and intellectual well-being through holistic treatment of Homoeopathy, Yoga and Nutrition.
