Ageing- Aged persons are defined as those over the age of sixty. When a person reaches the age of fifty, their life is considered to have begun once they have completed the rituals of childhood and have begun the process of aging (Tibbitts). In addition, Hutchinson defines "young-old" as someone who has just turned 60 and "old-old" as a person who has reached the age of 75 years or older.
· A variety of molecular and cellular damage accumulates over time as the result of ageing at the biological level. As a result, physical and mental capacity gradually decline, disease risks increase, and death follows. This change, however, is neither linear nor consistent, and it is only loosely related to a person's age in years. Despite some 70-year-olds enjoying excellent health and functioning, others are frail and require substantial assistance.
· The process of growing older can also involve other life transitions, such as retirement, moving to a different place to live, and the loss of friends and partners. It is critical to consider not only approaches to minimize the negative effects of aging but also ways to proactively combat the losses connected with aging, but also approaches to promote recovery, adaptation, on, and psychosocial growth.
AYUSH-
Ayurveda- The system of medicine known as Ayurveda originated in the Indian subcontinent. According to historians, it dates back some 5,000 years. Ayurveda literally translates to 'science of life' as the word 'ayus' is conjugated with the Sanskrit word 'Veda', meaning 'life'. Ayurveda emphasizes healthy living while over-treating diseases, unlike other medicinal systems. Ayurveda's primary concept is to personalize the healing process.
Humans are comprised of four basic elements known as dosha, dhatu, mala, and Agni according to Ayurveda. In Ayurveda, all these body fundamentals hold immense significance. Ayurvedic treatment is also referred to as the 'Mool Siddhant' or the 'basic principles of Ayurveda'.
Homeopathy- Almost everywhere in the world, homeopathy is today a rapidly growing system. Its safety and gentleness have made it a household name in India. A rough study of approximately 10% of the Indian population indicates that homeopathy is the second most popular system of medicine.
Since the early 18th century, homeopathy has been practiced in India. A number of health care services are provided by a national system of medicine, which has been recognized as one of the country's roots and traditions. The strength of its approach lies in the way it promotes inner balance at mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical levels in order to treat the sick individual holistically.
Unani- India has a long and impressive history with the Unani System of Medicine. Around the eleventh century, Arabs and Persians brought it to India. In terms of the practice of Unani medicine, India is one of the leading countries today. Unani educational, research and health care institutions are most numerous in this country.
Unani originated in Greece, as its name indicates. Hippocrates is credited with establishing the Unani system. In its present form, the system is a result of the Arabs who, in addition to saving much of the Greek literature by translating it into Arabic, also contributed to the development of medicine at the time. They used a variety of science disciplines in this process, including Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Therapeutics, and Surgery.
Unani Medicines have become more effective with the use of traditional medical systems from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Persia, India, and China. India soon embraced the Unani System of Medicine after it was introduced by the Arabs. Scholars of the Unani System were patronized by the Delhi Sultans (rulers) and even enrolled as state employees and court physicians.
Yoga- Our ancestors passed down yoga as a gift to us over five centuries ago, which is an ancient wealth of wisdom. Unfortunately, in today's world, yoga is only practiced as physical postures or asanas. In reality, yoga encompasses much more than just physical exercise.
The Sanskrit root word 'yuj' means to unite, which is where yoga gets its name. Jivatma and Paramatma represent the union of the individual soul (jivatma) with the universal soul (Paramatma). By achieving a state of mind in harmony with their surroundings, they can become in harmony with their surroundings.
The yoga sutras of Patanjali, a textbook on yoga, describe eight limbs of yoga:
The observance of rules and observances (Yama and Niyama), postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), withdrawal Pratyahara (control of the senses), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (absorption into the supreme). Hatha yoga practitioners developed additional techniques aside from cleansing procedures (kriya), gestures (mudra), and locks (bandhas).
Siddha- As per the Siddha system, the body is made up of three elements, seven basic tissues, as well as waste products such as sweat, urine, and feces. The human body is built from food, which is transformed into humor, body tissues, and waste products. Humor is considered healthy when it is in balance, and its disturbance or imbalance leads to illness or disease. There are also spiritual considerations in this system. Exponents of this system believe this state can be achieved through meditation and medicine.
First Aid- An initial response to a disease or injury is called first aid. Most of the time, this treatment is administered by a non-expert, but trained staff member until a more comprehensive treatment can be provided. Minor injuries or illnesses may not require any additional medical attention beyond first aid. The basic techniques can often be learned without a lot of equipment and maybe lifesaving in some cases.
Purpose of First Aid
Aims- A first aid provider offers first assistance or supports a person who is injured or suffering from an illness, before an ambulance, a qualified paramedic, or a doctor arrives, or before they get to a facility offering professional medical care. Providing First Aid does not require the administration of medicine or the diagnosis of disease.
Emergency situations or accidents often cause injuries that require immediate medical treatment and transportation to a healthcare facility.
