It helps women to find their body rhythm, which is closely linked to nature. MIDDLE EAST MEDICAL CENTER AYURVEDA FOR WOMEN The ancient Indian herbal system of medicine has many important and useful herbs for women. “A woman’s body is wonderfully complex and delicate,” says Dr Athulya Unnikrishnan, alternative medicine practitioner at Middle East Medical Center (MEM). “Multiple roles as a mother, daughter, wife, homemaker and wage earner are physically and mentally quite taxing. As a woman, you might share some common health risks with men, such as hypertension, diabetes et cetera. But because of your special reproductive role, you are at risk of some distinctly female disorders. “In my experience as an alternative medicine practitioner, 70 per cent of women in Bahrain suffer from menstrual disorders, pregnancy-related and menopausal discomforts, back pain, frozen shoulder, knee joint pain, early osteoarthritic diseases, as well as disc- and nerve-related conditions such as sciatica, varicose veins et cetera.” The causes behind femaleoriented diseases include obesity, junk food habits, overeating of fatty foods, hormonal imbalance, physical inactivity, medication side effects, psychological and genetic factors and vitamin deficiencies, to name a few. Various other job-related discomforts such as cervical spondylitis and lumbar spondylitis are seen mainly in those who sit all day at work sitting in front of their computers.
