Geno Homoeopathy is transforming healing with non-invasive tests. Monika Thakur tells you more about this
Many people prefer homoeopathy treatment. Bringing a new innovation in this field, Dr Batra’s geno-homoeopathy, as the name suggests, is a genetically personalised homoeopathic care which gives a glimpse of your genes that have been inherited from your family. It is a concept that is different from homeopathy; it is a scientific addition to homeopathy.
It is a gene-targeted homoeopathic treatment that is scientifically precise, safe and uniquely planned just for you. Dr Akshay Batra, CEO, Dr Batra’s, says: “The tests that the patients are asked to undergo tell us what the patient is suffering from currently. Geno Homeopathy has the power to identify what ailments are you more prone to. Holistic treatment is suggested to the patients as per their genetic make-up.”
An added advantage of the tests is that the patients get advise on diet, nutrition and lifestyle changes that will help the treatment outcome. The new concept uses genes in identifying how strong your genes are for a particular ailment. If you are aware of the ailments that you might suffer in future, you can prevent them now. For example, if there is Diabetes in a patient’s genes but has no visible symptoms of the disease at present, the doctor will advise the right diet and the exercises that can keep Diabetes at bay. The geno homeopathy also matches your weakness to the readily available homeopathic medicines which will give you the best suitable results.
The advantage for the patients is that unnecessary tests are eleiminated. Diabetes, PCOD, Zinc deficiencies, allergies are some of the ailments that can be identified with the help of the Geno homeopathy. “It can save people discomfort that comes with the usual invasive examination like a blood test . With the introduction of Geno Homeopathy, the tests are very simple, the saliva sample of a patient is collected, a solvent is added to it and the same is sent to the labs for further testing,” Dr Batra tells you.
Talking about the lack of awareness as one of the biggest challenge facing Geno homeopathy, Dr Batra tells you that genetics is well-known internationally, but it is still not that well-appreciated in India. “Geno Homeopathy has made an impact globally and the best example for that would be Angelina Jolie who found out through the same tests that the cancer gene was very strong in her genes. As a result of this learning, she underwent the required treatment and saved herself from such a dread full disease. She has also been a proponent of Genetics and Genome and also went about spreading awareness on the same. Implementation is another challenge that comes in the way,” he says.
Since the tests are completely non- invasive as there are no needles and no pricks so the question of side effects does not arise.
Affordability is always a question in healthcare. The costs of these tests internationally is about Rs 25,000 to Rs 1lakh per test. Dr Batra, whose aim is to make this concept a success in the country says: “We have committed volumes to our partners who are doing tests for us and they have set laboratories in India and the costs of the tests have been reduced to Rs 7,000 per test, which is fairly affordable. We are also offering free tests to the patients who are taking our treatments because our goal is not to make money but to get better results for our patients,” Dr Batra tells you.
