Twelve ways to
heal at the root.

IYKA-ARAM is an integrative healthcare clinic — naturopathy and yoga, functional medicine, and evidence-based drugless therapies, delivered in Shillong and online. Each service below sets out what a course of treatment involves and what it is meant to leave you with.

Acupuncture

Precision needling to regulate pain, nerve function and energy flow.

How it works

  1. A first consultation maps your symptom history alongside sleep, digestion and stress load, with pulse and tongue assessment.
  2. Single-use sterile needles are placed at selected points and left in place while you rest, typically for twenty to thirty minutes.
  3. Sessions run as a short course rather than one-offs, with the point selection adjusted each visit as your response is reviewed.

Long-term benefits

  • Pain episodes that arrive less often and settle faster, with less reliance on symptomatic relief.
  • A calmer stress response and steadier sleep as the nervous system stops running hot.
  • A maintenance rhythm — occasional top-up sessions, not open-ended treatment.

Naturopathy

Drug-free healing using natural methods and the body's own repair capacity.

How it works

  1. A full case history covering diet, hydration, sleep, elimination, movement and the shape of your ordinary day.
  2. Treatment draws on natural therapeutics — hydrotherapy, therapeutic diet, fasting protocols, mud and sun therapy — chosen for your presentation.
  3. You leave with a routine to run at home; clinic sessions reinforce it and the plan is revised at each review.

Long-term benefits

  • Habits that hold after the programme ends, rather than results that fade with the last appointment.
  • Less dependence on symptomatic medication over time, managed in step with your prescriber.
  • A clearer read on which foods and routines your body actually responds to.

Yoga Therapy

Therapeutic yoga for chronic conditions and mental wellness, in-clinic or live online.

How it works

  1. An assessment of posture, breath pattern and mobility, read against the specific condition being addressed.
  2. A practice is built for you — asana, pranayama and relaxation — scaled to what you can sustain rather than what a class would do.
  3. Delivered in-clinic or live online, with a short daily home practice carrying the work between sessions.

Long-term benefits

  • Mobility and strength gains that hold, reducing how often chronic pain recurs.
  • A self-regulation tool for anxiety and sleep that you can use without a therapist present.
  • A practice you own — independence is the goal, not a standing appointment.

Ozone Therapy

Oxygen-based therapy used as one arm of a wider plan for inflammation and recovery.

How it works

  1. Screening comes first: suitability is assessed against your history, current medication and any contraindications.
  2. Medical-grade ozone is delivered by the route appropriate to your case, at a measured dose, in a clinical setting.
  3. A defined short course, with your response reviewed throughout and the plan stopped or adjusted on what it shows.

Long-term benefits

  • Lower inflammatory load and better recovery capacity between treatments.
  • Support for immune resilience alongside — never instead of — the rest of your care.
  • Progress judged against markers and function, not impressions.

Functional Medicine Consultation

Root-cause analysis to understand what is actually driving your symptoms.

How it works

  1. A long first consultation — an hour or more — covering your timeline, triggers, family history and every prior investigation you can bring.
  2. Targeted testing only where the result would change the plan, rather than a panel ordered by default.
  3. A written plan addressing the drivers found, sequenced so you are never running six things at once, with reviews booked to adjust it.

Long-term benefits

  • Answers framed around cause rather than symptom suppression.
  • Fewer competing interventions, because the plan is ordered rather than piled up.
  • A documented health record you carry forward, whoever you see next.

Functional Nutrition Consultation

Food as medicine — therapeutic diet plans built around what you will realistically eat.

How it works

  1. Diet history and symptom mapping, with relevant nutritional testing where it adds something.
  2. A therapeutic plan built from foods you can source locally and will actually cook.
  3. Structured reintroduction and review, so any restriction is temporary and has a stated purpose.

Long-term benefits

  • A sustainable way of eating rather than a diet with an end date and a rebound.
  • Stable energy, digestion and weight that hold without ongoing supervision.
  • Clarity on your genuine triggers, so restriction stays as narrow as it can be.

Gut Health Reset Programs

Structured, staged protocols to rebuild digestion and the microbiome.

How it works

  1. Assessment of digestion, bowel pattern, antibiotic history and the stress load sitting behind it.
  2. A staged protocol — settle, repair, reintroduce — run over a defined number of weeks rather than indefinitely.
  3. Regular check-ins to adjust the pace and manage the transition between stages.

Long-term benefits

  • Durable relief from bloating, irregularity and discomfort rather than relief that lasts as long as the protocol.
  • Tolerance of a wider range of foods as the programme unwinds.
  • The downstream gains that tend to follow gut recovery — energy, skin, mood.

Energy Medicine

Restoring energetic balance to support the clinical arms of your plan.

How it works

  1. A session opens with an assessment of where you feel depleted, tense or stuck.
  2. Non-invasive techniques are applied while you rest, fully clothed, with nothing required of you.
  3. Usually paired with breathwork and paced to sit alongside your other treatments rather than compete with them.

Long-term benefits

  • A reliable way to down-regulate after long periods of sustained stress.
  • Easier sleep onset and a steadier baseline mood.
  • A complement to the clinical parts of your care — it is not offered as a replacement for them.

Longevity

Preventive, science-led care aimed at healthspan, not just years.

How it works

  1. A baseline workup — metabolic markers, body composition, fitness, sleep and stress profile.
  2. Risks are prioritised into a plan you can actually run: movement, nutrition, sleep and recovery, in that order of leverage.
  3. Re-tested at intervals, so the plan follows your numbers rather than the calendar.

Long-term benefits

  • Capacity maintained into later decades — healthspan, not simply lifespan.
  • Early sight of drift in your markers, while it is still cheap to correct.
  • A compounding routine that gets easier to hold, not harder.

Biohacking

Data-driven optimisation of sleep, energy, metabolism and focus — tested on you.

How it works

  1. Establish a baseline from wearables, labs and a structured self-report, before changing anything.
  2. One variable at a time, for a set period, with the measure of success agreed in advance.
  3. Keep what demonstrably worked for you and drop what did not, rather than accumulating protocols.

Long-term benefits

  • A personal protocol built on your own data instead of generic advice.
  • Focus, energy and sleep quality that hold because you know why they improved.
  • The method itself — you keep the ability to test a change long after the programme ends.

Massage

Therapeutic bodywork for tension, circulation and recovery.

How it works

  1. A short assessment of your pain pattern, movement restriction and any areas to avoid.
  2. Technique and pressure are chosen for the goal — recovery, tension release or circulation — not applied to a fixed routine.
  3. Aftercare and simple mobility work extend the effect between sessions.

Long-term benefits

  • Less accumulated tension, and fewer flare-ups from the postural load of ordinary work.
  • Better circulation and faster recovery from training or physical labour.
  • A sensible maintenance interval, rather than treatment only once you are in crisis.

Physiotherapy

Movement-based rehabilitation and chronic pain management.

How it works

  1. Objective assessment — range, strength, gait, and the specific movements that provoke your symptoms.
  2. Hands-on treatment paired with a graded exercise programme you run between visits.
  3. Load is progressed as you tolerate it, with reassessment at each stage rather than a fixed number of sessions.

Long-term benefits

  • A return to the activity you stopped, with the capacity to keep doing it.
  • Lower recurrence risk, because strength and control are rebuilt rather than the pain merely settled.
  • Self-management skills for handling future flare-ups yourself.
