Hyderabad: Diseases of the body are not only related to physical wounds but also to spiritual, mental and emotional wounds that an individual suffers. While the physical part is diagnosed and treated by doctors, the wounds of the mind, emotion and spirit are often not touched, stated Dr Ashwani Chopra, eminent gastroenterologist who is into psychosomatic healing.
Dr Chopra was in the city on Friday evening to deliver a talk on “Healing Through the Power of Mind” at the FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO). He said, “Being from the allopathic field of medicine, the work that science has done in terms of treatment can’t be negated. But there are times when patients do not respond to medicine. These cases are a challenge and that is where I started picking up alternative methods of treatment and found that those patients who believed, showed fantastic results.”
A practicing gastroenterologist in New Delhi, Dr Chopra uses allopathic treatment for patients but if they are not satisfied, he suggests alternative methods. Talking about a patient who suffered from acute diabetes and who often ended up in hospital with complications, he said that after several visits when he spoke about his emotional stress the cure came by.
He added, “The patient had many repressed feelings. He could not deal with it anymore and that was the reason for the complications. Once he started talking his diabetes came under complete control.”
Like him, there are thousands whom the doctor has treated. He found patients with strong will responded very well, thanks to their positive attitude towards life. He then got into understanding the mind, counseling patients, encouraging them to open up, talk about their past and understand where the cause of the agony lay. He said, “The disease is the front end of the problem. Its manifestation is a string of events, which have happened over a period of time.”
