A holistic treatment or a holistic approach is based on the perspective that a disease reflects the health of not just the afflicted part, system or organ, but of the entire being. For instance, a skin disorder In Holistic approach would not be targeted superficially, but the underlying causes that made the skin abnormal would be sought. The investigation will therefore target a wide range of possible causes (autoimmune conditions, gastro-intestinal disorders or cancer etc.) to seek perfect healing.
Real holistic treatment is highly individualized. The strategy is to seek healing of the symptoms as well as the deeper causes, the impact of the disease on the person's life & relationships, and the person's overall physical and mental condition.
Holistic healing is a highly challenging practice of science that requires attention to details and the capacity of synthesis. The healer should be able to see the big picture and understand the fundamental structure of the person.Advancement in modern medicine has led to the phenomena of super specialization, where humans are often viewed as a collection of organs. Consequently, treatment focuses on the concerned parts of the body or organs. The flaw of this approach is that it overlooks the three critical aspects of human being : body, mind, and spirit. These three integral elements are critical for our well-being. Hence we must constantly sustain a perfect, dynamic balance of these . Holistic approach views the patient as a single, whole entity as opposed to an assortment of organs as viewed by western medical system. Holistic treatment therefore focuses on all the critical needs of the patient - social, environmental, nutritional, physical, and spiritual. Which makes it a pure and wholesome system designed to achieve perfect healing.
"The mind is an epiphenomenon of the body, and the body is an epiphenomenon of the mind. We operate as body-minds. The body is the visibility of the soul, and the soul is the life of the body. You cannot deal with everything by sheer will power or mental approaches. We are embodied in a physical cosmos, and we have our bill to pay to physical existence. And that includes our relationship to the physical aspect of the earth; it means to plants, stones, and animals."
Edward C. Whitmont
Holistic treatment attaches paramount importance to the critical trio Mind, Body, and Spirit . At the core of holistic treatment is the defense and immune system of the patient, which the treatment aims to strengthen; because disease prevention and healing are at their best when the defense and immune systems are strong.
Well-Being encompasses all our parts, not just the physical body. When our emotions are in turmoil or the mind is bombarded with toxic thoughts, our health is seriously challenged. It is vital to achieve & sustain balance in your life by nurturing your whole person. It includes spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical needs.
Mind, Body, Spirit concept is key to the holistic medicine approach. It views the these elements as three distinct levels : the mind being the mental level, body being the physical and emotional level, and Spirit being the spiritual level. Sometimes it is referred to Mind Body, in which the mind is the mental and spiritual level, body is the emotional and physical level as well as the economic and social levels. The Mind, Body or Mind, Body, Spirit holistic medicine alternative approach has been scientifically documented as successful by The Center for Mind-Body Medicine with post traumatic stress syndrome clients in countries subjected to war.
The mind, body, spirit approach is holistic. It aims to correct imbalances of the patient on multiple levels, such as the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, economic, and social. The approach targets the sources of what created the imbalance, recognizes the symptoms, and corrects them to achieve perfect healing.
The mind is an integral part of the human being. It must constantly remain in best health . When it is weak or under attack, it is manifested in many ways - all negatively on the body. Modern day life and jobs often inflicts heavy stress on the mind, which is quite vulnerable. Stress can lead to mental and physical illness. Hence de-stressing is vital to ensure optimum health when you are constantly exposed to toxic environment. At NIMS we offer effective stress elimination programs.
The human body – throughout its existence – is constantly subjected to a variety of stressful actions , movements, or routine tasks. It needs to be rejuvenated frequently to ensure optimum performance and to keep you perfectly fit. Repetitive and routine tasks take a heavy toll on the body. Excessive toxation and negligence lead to pestering ailments such as aches, fatigue, and restriction of vigorous physical activity or movements. At NIMS we help you restore your vigor. Our rejuvenation programs are designed to keep you totally fit.

It is a prudent methodology to safely restore your health.
Our evaluation is different from the conventional method that often ignores the patient's choices, lifestyle, and mental health. To cite an example, the most common treatments for lowering cholesterol are statin drugs and bile acid sequestrants. But, while they are effective at lowering cholesterol, both may lead to side effects that are far more serious than the condition for which they are prescribed.(The manufacturers of statin drugs list more than 130 possible side effects).Our patient interaction has been designed to be an effective two way communication. Our physicians strongly believes in the importance of meticulously examining the person's medical & lifestyle history and in gathering comprehensive feedback. Such prudent assessment results in the formulation of highly personalized, health restorative prescriptions. Our physicians focus not just on medicines. Rather, they recommend the most effective & suitable detoxification program, diet, exercise, nutritional supplements, and rejuvenation programs for you. Whenever necessary, they also recommend the best lab testing and additional screening to ensure an intelligent assessment.

Our integrative system will help you regain your lost vigor and happiness. So start your healing process right now, and transform yourself.
Our expert healthcare professionals comply with global quality standards of practice with regular updates of research in the healthcare industry.
Operational Excellence bolstered by Quality Assurance is critical to sustain high performance and customer satisfaction. When it comes to choosing a medical centre, clinical excellence is probably the most vital and differentiating factor for people. Hence we have adopted a policy of ensuring the best Quality Management systems for the benefit of all our customers. They include :
>> Accreditations (Planning stage)
>> NIMS Infection Control Program (planning stage)
The Quality Assurance and Clinical Excellence at NIMS Hospitals will be ensured by implementing the various global accreditation programs. In addition, we will be deploying various internal quality control systems based on TQM that address quality, infection control, patient safety, and evidence based clinical processes.
NIMS will be seeking major accreditations such as those described below as part of our relentless pursuit of excellence.
The Joint Commission International (JCI) is a U.S based accreditation body dedicated to improving healthcare quality and safety around the world. The accreditation is an international gold standard for hospitals.
JCI works directly with healthcare organizations to achieve their goals of providing quality clinical care and services in safe, efficient, and well-managed facilities. JCI assesses through a rigorous on site survey process, a healthcare provider's quality in the following key areas -
>> Access to health care
>> Health Assessment and care processes
>> Education and rights of individuals
>> Management of information and human resources
>> Safety of facility
>> Infection control
>> Collaborative integrated management
>> Facility management
>> Performance Measurement
>> Education & Rights of Patients
National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) is a constituent board of Quality Council of India, set up to establish and operate accreditation programs for healthcare organizations. The board is structured to cater to much desired needs of the consumers and to set benchmarks for progress of health industry.
National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) is an autonomous body under the aegis of Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, and is registered under the Societies Act 1860. NABL was established with the objective to provide Government, Industry Associations and Industry in general with a scheme for third-party assessment of the quality and technical competence of testing and calibration laboratories. Government of India has authorized NABL as the accreditation body for Testing and Calibration Laboratories.
In order to achieve this objective, NABL provides laboratory accreditation services to laboratories that are performing tests / calibrations in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 15189:2007 for medical laboratories. NABL accreditation system complies with ISO/IEC 17011:2004 and Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC) MR001. Based on evaluation of NABL operations by APLAC in 2000, NABL has been granted signatory member status by APLAC and International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) under their Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs). Under these MRAs, the reports issued by NABL accredited laboratories are considered to be equivalent to reports issued by laboratories accredited by (currently) 76 accreditation bodies in 64 economies. NABL has undergone re-evaluation by four member APLAC evaluation team in July 2008. APLAC/ILAC has recommended NABL's Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) status for further four years with extension of scope for Medical Testing laboratory as per new international standard ISO 15189:2007.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a network of the national standards institutes of 151 countries, on the basis of one member per country. A Central Secretariat based out of Geneva, Switzerland, co-ordinates the system. NIMS Hospitals, Chennai was the first hospital in India to be awarded an ISO 9002 certification.
The ISO 9000 series is concerned with 'quality management'. It is a certification affirming the organization's ability to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting customer and applicable regulatory requirements and continually to improve its performance in this regard. The ISO standards are a guarantee of quality across boundaries and geographies. They are an assurance to the international patient of the safety and reliability of NIMS's services against global benchmarks.
NIMS Hospital has a robust infection control program designed with the understanding the control and prevention of infection in our patients and the staff who care for them, is an absolute moral commitment and responsibility. Therefore, we have designed a comprehensive infection prevention and control program.
The Infection Control program covers policies on hand hygiene, occupational health, isolation, infectious diseases notification, clinical sample collection, environmental hygiene, antibiotic usage and infection prevention in practice settings and visitor areas. It also focuses on prevention of nosocomial infections especially ventilator associated infection, surgical site infections, UTI and Intravascular device related infections and also on control of communicable diseases by policies on patient care related activities. The policies and guidelines laid down are evidence based on current scientific knowledge and recommendations from National and International societies and organizations.
The Infection Control program is supported by information management in relation to microbial surveillance and notifiable diseases. Guidelines for periodic audits are also provided so that evaluation and quality control is undertaken. The overall aim of the Program is to guide doctors and health care workers on minimizing patients' infection risk and ensuring safety.
Standard or Universal Precautions to ensure safety of healthcare worker. Practice of Universal and Standard Precautions, will be stringently followed. Orientation and teaching/training programs will be carried out at the time of induction and on a regular basis for all employees on Standard Precautions and also on key Infection control norms such as Hand Hygiene practices. Our Staff health policy ensures that all staff are vaccinated or has immunity to Hepatitis B and Varicella. Screening and appropriate vaccination of food handlers will also be ensured.
Hand Hygiene Initiative. Safe water supply in all patient care areas for hand washing and alcohol based hand rubs at all patient beds will be ensured and vigilant observational audits will be performed periodically to ensure high compliance to hand hygiene at patient care areas.
Use of Clinical practice guidelines and protocols. Guidelines are followed for usage and care of intravascular devices, catheters, and in the usage of other such invasive devices. Care of equipment, linen disinfection, air conditioning for operating rooms and CCUs as well as management of blood spills and needle stick injuries is done according to International protocols. We also have an established waste management policy and lab safety program.
Management of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms – the antibiotic stewardship program. With advent of newer antibiotics there has been a steady rise in the incidence of antibiotic resistance. While antibiotic resistance is a worldwide phenomenon, the nature of antibiotic resistance varies globally. To curb this vicious trend, this is an important aspect of our Infection control program. We will be following an Antibiotic Stewardship program wherein antibiotic prescription, dosage and appropriateness are strictly monitored and rationalized and resistant organisms identified, tracked and followed up meticulously. We also have stringent guidelines on antibiotic use and procedures on monitoring antibiotic use, as well as protocols for isolation of those affected with such organisms.
Isolation protocols. Communicable disease identification and prevention of spread is outlined, and so are isolation protocols and procedures and barrier nursing.
Environmental sampling. Environmental monitoring of Operating rooms, Critical care units, and other patient care areas will be conducted through air sampling. Additionally, disinfection and sterilization processes will be monitored, drinking water and dialysis water analysis will be done and food safety standards and guidelines will be laid down and followed.
Visitor Control. We have a visitation protocol and all visitors are alerted on infection control practices through guidelines written on visitor passes.
Tracking Infection control data. All our centers can track infection control parameters and these will be benchmarked with standards and variations and values are thoroughly analyzed. Periodically clinical studies on infection control, pathogens and other related areas will also be carried out .All infection control parameters will be tracked as part of the NIMS XL CLINICAL EXCELLENCE initiative of NIMS hospitals where key Quality parameters of each centre is entered on an Online Dashboard, scored and reviewed by the highest Leadership of the group each month.

We have several Wellness Packages and also unique Medical Programs to address specific medical issues.
3. What is the fundamental difference between the approaches of Ayurveda and conventional medicine ?
Ayurveda offers a preventive approach to health that is not offered by conventional medicine. Modern medicine tries to offer health prevention, but does not offer preventive medicine in the same way that Ayurveda does.
Ayurveda offers prevention by detecting and correcting imbalances in the bodies subtle energies (doshas, vata, pitta, and kapha), long before any disease has stricken you. Modern medicine basically lacks such form of diagnosis. It only hopes to detect disease by looking for the symptoms.
4. What else makes NIMS an ideal choice for those who seek perfect healing ?
Our goal is to promote holistic living. Profit making is not our sole purpose.
We offer a pristine environment in a 35 acre organic farm to aid in the revival of our guests.
Our huge organic farm is the prime source of food to all our guests. We cultivate a wide range of medicinal plants, spices, herbs, fruits, and vegetables.
We have an eco-friendly approach that is aimed a conserving energy & natural resources.
5. What kinds of Wellness Packages are available?
We offer a variety of Wellness Packages - including Stress elimination, Rejuvenation & Detoxification packages, and skin & beauty care programs. Most of them are customized.
6. How do you assess the patient and plan the treatment ?
We offer treatments based on all the major Integrative Medicines – Allopathy, Ayurveda, Siddha, and Homeopathy. Prior to any treatment or therapy, we conduct a careful Holistic Health Evaluation. The doctors will then communicate the relevant details with the patient as the first key step in designing the best treatment program.
7. What kind of treatments could I expect?
If you are here just for a relaxing break you can choose whichever Wellness Package you like; and the treatments mentioned will be given to you according to the treatment hours in a day. Treatments will be all customized even if it is a set Package.
If however you want to address a medical issue when you have initially opted for a Wellness Package, we will do it after
conducting a Holistic Health Evaluation with the doctor. Changes in the treatment program will be made afterwards.
If you are here on a Medical Programme then the treatment programme will be designed after the Holistic Health Evaluation with the doctor. The treatment programme will integrate different Systems of Medicine and Complementary Therapies based on the person's needs.
8. What makes Ayurvedic massage and spa treatment distinct?
Different types of medicated oils and balms are used in the massage. It has proven effect on the body and mind.
Often, the massage involves vigorous strokes, and rubbing, which is stimulating to the muscles.
After the massage, the person is given a herbal steam for the body alone; because heat to the head is not recommended in Ayurveda.
As per tradition, male therapists massage male patients, and female therapists massage female patients. This may be because the massage strokes come quite close to the groin area and for women the chest area is also massaged.
Ayurvedic Spa treatments that are based on Ayurvedic knowledge work at a very deep level to thoroughly cleanse the body of toxins and remove physiological imbalances. Ayurvedic treatments - unlike other spa treatments – addresses the exact needs of the patient based on their doshas. Unlike like other forms of spa treatments, the Ayurvedic approach is very compre hensive and precise.
9. What re the restrictions during an Ayurvedic treatment?
As part of Ayurvedic protocol, the person should avoid rigorous physical activities (running, brisk walking, swimming etc). Low impact activities are permitted. Meditation and Relaxation techniques are recommended.
To help the eyes, only light reading is recommended. That's why we discourage watching TV in the rooms during the
treatment period. It is good to listen to soothing music.
The body must be allowed to achieve healing by avoiding forms of strain to all parts of the body. It should be noted that by complying with the basic rules described above, the effects of the treatment will be highest and will be felt after the course.
10. What about the safety and efficacy of Ayurvedic medicines ?
Ayurvedic medicines are quite safe, when they are prescribed and prepared by qualified doctors. All Ayurvedic medicines
are made from natural sources. A study published in the recent past in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine
showed that authentic Ayurvedic treatments offered by experts can reduce fat soluble toxins by about 50%. This study
was the first published study on humans to demonstrate that a specific detoxification regimen can significantly reduce levels of lipophilic toxicants in the blood - the toxicants that are known to be associated with chronic disorders.
