Denver, October 26, 2007 — PlacidWay, a leading health and wellness tourism company, has announced a strategic alliance with New Delhi-based Jiva Ayurveda to provide holistic and herbal Ayurvedic treatments.
Distressed by the increasing cost of health-care in the United States, patients are traveling abroad to seek high-quality, low cost medical alternatives. According to the National Center for Policy Analysis, in 2005 more the 500,000 Americans traveled to foreign destinations to seek medical treatment. While patients seek traditional medicine alternatives, the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine has also noted that one out of three Americans were seeking out complementary and alternative medicine to supplement traditional care.
In response, Jiva Ayurveda is attracting international patients each year to its Faridabad, India clinic. According to Dr. Partap Chauhan, Director of Jiva, “Many people arrive here with chronic problems such as arthritis, migraines, diabetes, heart problems, and obesity. We provide them with fully-customized solutions comprising herbal medicines, special meals, panchkarma therapies, yoga, meditation, and pranayam to maintain optimum health and prevent illness.”
