With naturopathy and yoga therapy showing positive results in HIV-positive patients, the National Institute of Naturopathy’s (NIN) sanatorium in Panchgani plans to extend the facility — available only to women patients now — to male patients as well.
The institute has convened a meeting with NGOs and Integrated Counselling and Testing Centres here on November 19. Director Dr Babu Joseph said in a release that this would be the second panel meeting on the naturopathy sanatorium for HIV-positive patients.
Project coordinator Dr Dhananjay Arankalle said interventions like therapeutic juices, organic food and yoga techniques had helped HIV-positive patients live a better and healthier life. He said there had been positive results among these patients at the sanatorium, which was started a year ago as a pre-Anti Retroviral Treatment (ART) centre.
