Sports Medicine

According to ayurveda diseases occur in the body due to two factors one is nija(within the body),other is aganthu(external factors), sports injuries mainly occur due to sudden impact or due to continues wear and tare. when an injury occur due to sudden impact, body respond to that condition ,which lead to immobility and other inflammatory responses, its a protective mechanism of body. due to excessive body activity strained muscles, ligaments and tendons can get injured excess of toxin can accumulate in individual organ systems and can lower both mental and physical sharpness.

In KAH we have special panchakarma procedures which will refresh body and mind,improves the logical capacity along with accuracy and power to withstand  stress.
