Abstract:

Heart – Mind Yoga is based on the principle that our heart and mind  is a couple with two way communication between the heart and the brain and they work together in ensuring the overall wellbeing. Using breathing, positive affirmations, visualization, primordial sounds, positive emotions, a beautiful state is produced in which our body - mind system works better.

 This paper is based on the study conducted for about two years in the Integrative Oncology Department of a Leading Hospital for the patients and their caregivers. The main aim was to improve their quality of life, feeling mentally and emotionally more relaxed and positive, to change the mind set from suffering and worrying to feeling good and positive.

A feedback questionnaire using a 6 point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 5 was used to get feedback. Questions were asked about their satisfaction and usefulness of the session.

Total 107 people attended the session and 74 people could give the feedback . All the people who attended the sessions liked it and felt relaxed and better and felt that it will help them in their treatment. 78% rated 4 and 5  on the scale 0-5 conveying that sessions were very useful.

The study helped in designing the session in the hospital environment. Heart – Mind Yoga can help the people in health and wellness in improving the quality of their services and also improving the quality of life for the patients

Abstract:

Physical Observation for Nutritional Deficiencies: Learning how to observe physical features can help one determine nutritional deficiency patterns and health needs prior to disease occurring. This information is imperative in today's health care and in the "sub-clinical" patient, before disease progresses to outright symptoms and blood changes. Traditional doctors used physical observations of our body to confirm our health issues. They did not and could not rely on testing or blood work. Physical observations enable one to take the guess work out of nutritional deficiencies and organ health patterns. This class insures a measurement of patient evaluation as a critical tool in the medical toolbox. If pre-and post-nutritional evaluations and sound patient observations are added, the practitioner can confirm the findings while creating a recordable and even visual benchmark for patients to see the change and progress. This approach heightens the practitioner's ability to identify root causes, target priorities, and integrate patient interaction, while improving understanding, retention and compliance. Using functional assessments of the digestive system, thyroid, adrenals, and more, the health and direction of care becomes more obvious to see, treat, and monitor. While correlating specific observations and testing procedures, one can determine organ health, utilization of nutritional factors, and what direction is best for the client. We will look at the tongue, face, nails, reflex points, simple office testing procedures and holistic care to determine how to help our patients through physical observations for nutritional deficiencies

Abstract:

Background/ Objectives and Goals：Osteoarthritis is a common problem often resulting disabilities in elders. The knee is the most commonly reported site of osteoarthritis pain complaints. Aromatherapy is a homeopathy treatment that has increasingly become recognized as a legitimate medical treatment in healthcare system around the world. The aim of this study investigated the effectiveness of aromatherapy in relieving knee pain in the elderly. We carried out in three different communities. A random envelope was used to randomly allocate patients to the intervention group or the control group. A total of 78 elders with knee pain were randomized allocated to 2 groups, 38 participants were in experimental group and 40 participants were in the control group. No significant differences in demographics and health conditions between two groups were noted. For the elders in experimental group we applied essential oils to both knees for 15minutes twice a week for two months. For the elders in control group, we applied mineral oil with no essential oils to both knees, and also for the same way with  the experimental group. Changes in joint pain, joint degree of stiffness and the degree of joint pain affect on daily life functions were measured using the Western Ontario and McMaster universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC^®) of pain. Data were descriptively and analysed using Stata version 14.2 software. The mean scores in both groups for joint pain, joint degree of stiffness and the degree of joint pain effect on daily life functions in WOMAC^® were reduced significantly at both 1 and 2 months (p < 0.001). Nevertheless, in first month of intervention, the scores of pain, stiffness and motor disturbance in the essential oil experimental group were reduced significantly more the mineral oil placebo group

Abstract:

The human body is made of trillions of cells. Each cell has a primary function which helps in functioning the body properly and in maintaining health. Cell health affects body health. Cells are the  building blocks of our body. The tiny cell of our body is our inner  giant.

To overcome any disorder you need to take care of ‘Ki – Ketsu’ ( energy – blood) and these are interrelated as energy is required to carry the blood and blood carries the energy. The Cells survive on two sources- one Super – refined energy from air ( air prana) and the other Super – refined energy from food (food prana). Blood is the mother of our cells. One can learn to revitalize and program these cells for achieving better health. Give love and affection to your building blocks (cells). Cells has a definite life span which varies from a few hours to many years. Today we know that stem cells possess the potential of creating a whole body .The research by cell – biologist has indicated that the manifestation of DNA depends not only on DNA but by the energetic environment around the individual cells and authors have developed a systematic procedure using BMP to create the desired energetic environment .

In the workshop the method will be shared through a practical exercise – inducing balance and harmony, activating the 3 vital energy centres with primordial sounds, becoming aware of own heart – beat, purifying the heart and filling it with healing energy and directing it to the desired areas for cellular healing.  

The workshop will highlight  “How Heart – Mind Continuum” helps in ensuring the overall wellbeing.

Abstract:

Age-related cognitive decline has become an important public health issue. Qigong (QG) is an increasingly popular multimodal mind–body exercise that provides moderate aerobic, agility, and mobility training. Although several studies have reported the effects of Tai Chi, a kind of QG, on cognitive and physical outcome in elders, but the evidence remains limited regarding whether the QG exercise might improve cognitive, physical and psychological ability on cognitive decline in older adults.

Seven databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied/Health Literature, Excerpta Medica Database, the Cochrane Library, National Knowledge Infrastructure, airitiLibrary) were searched for studies that evaluated the effectiveness of Qigong on cognitive decline in older adults. The initial search yielded 854 articles; after evaluating against inclusion criteria and removing duplicates, 12 studies of QG exercise remained.

Nine randomized controlled trials included quantitative synthesis, with 959 participants, were identified. Meta-analysis of outcome related significant improvements for QG exercise compared to no exercise or stretching/toning controls on measures of global cognitive ability (MD=0.87, 95% CI=0.28, 1.46, p=0.004, I²=0%; measured by). And the result related significant improvements on measures of learning and memory ability(MD=0.26, 95% CI=0.08, 0.45, p=0.005, I²=0%), execution capacity(MD=-0.45, 95% CI=-0.09, -0.8, p=0.01, I²=48% ), low leg function (MD=–0.37, 95% CI=–0.75, –0.05, p=0.02, I²=0%). However, the result of depression was no significant change (MD=-0.006, 95% CI=-0.59, 0.47, p=0.83, I²=49%).

QG exercise was positive effects on global cognitive ability, learning and memory ability, execution capacity, low leg function. However, the result of depression was no significant change.

Chen, Pei-Chun working  in traditional massage field for almost 10 years. During clinical practice, she found a lot of interesting ideas from traditional massage, and she want to investigate it.  So, while  working,  she also taking graduate study in injury prevention and control graduate school of Taipei Medical University. Now, she is in  2nd year of study.

The domain of my research is about the pain measurement in traditional massage.

Abstract:

In Taiwan, many different shapes of buffalo horn are used in the traditional massage to release the deep soft tissue pain. However, the treatment protocol for each patient is difficult to identify because pain measurement is still subjective and difficult to be quantitative. Therefore, the study is to develop a novel soft tissue tension detector and validate the validity and reliability.

This detector is composed of two parts; one part is the buffalo horn, the massage tool, with the load cell sensor, and the other part is the monitor, which provides the static maximum peak force and dynamic reaction force data during massage. Additionally, the buffalo horn has two ends; one is the 8mm diameters sphere end.  As far as the other end, there are five 2mm sphere forming a quincuncial. The validity was examined by comparing the forces from the detector with obtained by the electronic scale from 100g to 9 kg. The test-retest reliability was using identical procedures on two separate. Pearson correlation was used to validate and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated to determine the test-retest reliability.

Excellent correlation was observed between the detector and the electronic scale for the 90 different forces for the 8mm (r=.998) and 2mm*5 (r=.975). Furthermore, excellent ICC values was also demonstrated for the 8mm (r=.99) and 2mm*5 (r=.89) (p<0.01).

The result represents the novel detector for measuring force is valid and reliable. The detector would provide the data instantly, and record the soft tissue tension (reaction force) during traditional massage.

Abstract:

Recently, a great deal of interest has been developed by consumers towards bioactive peptides as potential biomaterials. In this study, two bioactive peptides derived from gastric enzymatic hydrolysate of Spirulina maxima including P1 (LDAVNR; 686 Da) and P2 (MMLDF; 655 Da) have been determined for its anti-oxidant, anti-allergy, and anti-inflammation in vitro. For antioxidant activity, peptides P1 and P2 have been evidenced to be effective in scavenging DPPH and ABTS⁺ radicals. These peptides exhibited protective effect against DNA damage induced by oxidant H₂O₂. Moreover, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was reduced in RBL-2H3 mast cells and EA.hy926 endothelial cells as the cells treated with peptides P1 or P2. For anti-allergic activity, P1 and P2 were found to be effective against FcεRI-mediated RBL-2H3 mast cell activation via decreasing histamine and β-hexosaminidase release and IL-4 and IL-13 productions. The inhibitory activity of P1 was found to be due to decrease mast cell activation via blockade of FcεRI-IgE interaction, while P2 was observed to suppress PLCγ activation, thus attenuating intracellular calcium elevation and mas cell degranulation. For anti-inflammatory activity, P1 and P2 exhibited inhibitory activities on the production and expression of IL-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in EA.hy926 endothelial cells induced by histamine. Furthermore, P1 and P2 suppressed the production of adhesion molecules via down-regulating Egr-1 expression. Taken together, both peptides P1 and P2 from Spirulina maxima have been identified as great potential biomaterials for alternative medicine application against allergic and inflammatory responses.
