Dr.Commander Selvam
This blog is to attarct all those people who are expecting some scandal or wrong things about His Holiness Dr.Commander Selvam Siddhar. Our Intention is to throw light on the true nature of Dr.Commander selvam siddhar and enlighten you all, about his true self.
Atharva
Veda -Siddha Massage
Siddha massage is an ancient science which, although originated thousands of years
ago, is still used as a treatment for many problems and ailments. Additionally
to the nutrition suggestions, Siddha oil massages are recommended for
relaxation of body and mind as well as for stimulation of nerves and muscles. Presently Swamiji Sri Selvam siddhar is the
only Hindu in he whole north America who knows
the secrets and a scholar of
Atharva Vedic Siddha massage which is of thousands of years old kept
secret.
In ancient times, Siddha massages were such a commonly known
practice throughout India ,
that Siddha practitioners and clinics did not even offer them. People consulted
Siddha doctors only for particular treatments and special needs in order to
receive a specific treatment. Nowadays however you will find Siddha massage
offers in all Siddha clinics and also in wellness spas.
Through the detoxifying process as well as the relaxation of
the mind, Siddha massage also has a great effect on your mental and
psychological state. When your mind can relax from the stress and overwhelming
input of your surroundings, it has time to sort thoughts and emotions.
In Hindu traditions it is even today usual to give an Siddha
massage to both, the bride and the groom, as a special ceremony that lets them
relax and makes their skin soft and glow from inside. The soothing relaxation
helps a couple - newlyweds or not - to share and give love. Siddha massages are
thus even recommended for partners who wish to maintain a loving relationship.
Therapeutic Treatment
Today's busy, modern world offers many advantages but is at
the same time a challenge for the human mind and body. Constant stress and
pressure weigh heavy on our minds while long sitting and working hours as well
as a permanently wrong posture give strain to our body. While a lot of people
are disappointed with the treatment that allopathic medicine offers, those who have experienced Siddha Massages and
procedures are often convinced by the results: they feel better, muscles could
relax, strain and stress was lifted and pain could thus be reduced. These are
the most common and recommended procedures: Pizhichil, Njavarakizhi,
Abhayangam, Shirodhara, Shirovasti, Elakizhi and Ubatan.
Abhyangam-
Siddhar style
Abhyangam is that what most people will imagine when they
hear 'Siddha oil massage'. Herbal medicated oil is used to massage the entire body.
While doing this, the therapist takes care to press the 107 vital points,
called marmas, of the body.
This massage obviously has great benefits on the entire
body. It enhances the blood circulation, it tones your muscles, rejuvenates
your skin, strengthens the tissues and relaxes your nerves. Through the
relaxation of the body your mind is soothed. Your body and immune system can
resist influences from outside better. You have better sleep, your skin shines
and you feel young and full of power.
Shirodhara- Siddhar
style
Shirodhara is probably one of the most widely known Siddha
treatments. It is a gentle massage as well as treatment in which oil with Siddha
herbs is poured onto your forehead in a continuous stream.
The effect of Shirodhara is often described as a rarely
experienced relaxation of the mind. Any stress and tension is relieved which
has a relaxing effect on your mental and emotional situation. Shirodhara is
thus strongly recommended for people suffering from insomnia, depression or burn-out.
Sleep is improved, concentration gets easier and it can even change your
general attitude towards more positivity.
If the therapist uses buttermilk instead of oil, the therapy
is called Takradhara.
Pizhichil or
Sarvangadhara- Siddhar style
’Pizhichil’ literally means squeezing. It is however not the
body that is squeezed but a piece of cloth which the therapist dips
periodically into a bowl containing warm oil with Siddha herbs. This oil is
thus squeezed onto your body in a continuous stream over a longer period of
time. The whole body except for head and neck thus experienced this warming and
relaxing stream of oil.
Apart from its obvious soothing effect on the mind,
Pizhichil relaxes the muscles of the whole body while the herbs reach deeper
into the body tissues. Pizhichil is recommended for problems caused by the
dosha Vata. It has beneficial effects for patients with muscle spasms, frequent
cramps and even paralysis and hemiplegia.
Njavarakizhi- Siddhar
style
In preparation for Njavarakizhi, oil with Siddha herbs is
applied all over the body. After that you receive a massage with a warm bundle
filled with Siddha herbs and medicine and dipped into warm milk.
The warmth, further supported by the Siddha massage and
herbs, makes the body sweat out toxins. Through the rubbing with the bundle,
dead skin is removed so that new skin can grow. This process not only makes
your skin shine through the revitalisation and thus gives the impression of a
rejuvenating therapy but also helps against certain skin disorders and
impurities. Apart from this effect, Siddha suggests this therapy for all types
of rheumatism, pain in the joints and arthritis. Its relaxing and soothing
effect is helpful during the convalescence period after traumatic experiences.
General weakness is another reason for an Siddha doctor to recommend this
massage. Patients suffering from paralysis have experienced relief after
repeated application of this and other treatments over a prolonged period of
time.
Shirovasti- Siddhar
style
Usually Snehana (oiling) and Swedana (sweating, for example
through steam) is done before one starts a Shirovasti treatment. For
Shirovasti, a crown or cap is formed out of a hard cloth that is then fixed
with a paste to the head so that it can be filled from the top without leaking.
Warm oil with Siddha herbs is filled into the cap and remains there for some
time.
The benefits of this treatment go far from a relief of
headaches and earache to a a distince improval of all sensory functions. The
warm oil stimulates nerves at the top of your head and is thus recommended for
diseases and problems connected with your cranial nerves. Siddha recommends the
treatment for facial paralysis, cataract and glaucoma but also for
schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, memory loss, insomnia and
disorientation. It is described as a Shamana treatment rather than a Shodhana
treatment, which means that it alleviates problems rather than cure them
completely.
Elakizhi- Siddhar
style
For Elakizhi your therapist will prepare bundles of various
herbs and herbal powder. These bundles are warmed in Siddha oils and then used
for massaging your body.
Elakizhi is a therapy that revitalizes your skin. Blood
circulation is increased and your body sweats out toxins. Your skin releases
these toxins and through the massage, dead skin particles are removed. Swamiji also recommend this massage against joint
pain, muscle cramps and arthritis. Of course the massage also reduces any
stress levels in your body.
Ubatan- Siddhar style
Ubatan is a Beauty Massage. It is used to help the elderly
and special techniques have been developed for young mothers as well as
babies.All those treatments can be performed on a healthy person, too, simply
to strengthen the immune system and giving back energy to the body. For
patients, a Siddha doctor usually recommends different combinations of
treatments and herbs. Specific Siddha massage therapies are used in certain
therapeutic treatments like in Panchakarma purification.
If you would like to experience different Siddha massages
and Siddha treatments, you are welcome to come to a Yoga and Siddha retreat to
the Ashram.
