Balavi Natural Health Center

I, personally, admire Mrs. Duangdao (meaning "stars" in Thai) Jarujinda in her acting and dubbing careers. I also admire her for her personal life as a good mother. Today, I saw her but not through a T.V. screen. She was here waiting to see a doctor at Balavi Natural Health Center.

A conflict between what I felt about her and what I was seeing arose at the moment.

"Before the end of last year, I had loads of work to do. On December, 31st I decided to go visiting some of my respectful persons. As soon as I left home, however, I felt severe pain in my head. So I drove back home, took a pill and got some rest. I didn't want to go to a hospital on New Year Eve for it could bring bad omen. When I woke up, I felt better but soon the pain would recover," Mrs. Duangdao says.

Mrs. Daungdao has allergies and has always taken anti-allergic pills. Whenever she went outside to film soap operas and encountered dust, her allergies would resume. She then decided that she must go see a doctor.

The doctor's first diagnosis was that she had sinusitis and gave her some medicine. She felt better but still felt pain in her head whenever coughing. Therefore she went to the hospital but this time she decided to consult a neurologist for she was afraid that her symptom was related to brain vascular functions.

"I was afraid of becoming paralyzed, so, I choose to consult a neurologist. The doctor told me I didn't have sinusitis but I got muscle tension because of stress, hard-working and insufficient rest.

The neurologist had her receive acupuncture treatment to loosen strain in her muscle and then received physical therapy. She felt better after following all these. Yet, she was so busy working that she couldn't receive frequent physical therapy, which caused her symptom to still remain.

"Shooting soap opera is a very hard work. You can't really tell when you will finish. There are many times when we start shooting early in the morning but we finish very late at night. Thus, I want to spend a fleck of my free time with my family causing me to not receiving enough physical therapy."

"I am lucky that my mother likes watching this program and reads a lot of natural medicine books. She always reminds me of herbs qualities and whenever anyone in my family gets sick, my mother would buy some medicine from Balavi. The medicine here is very effective but the problem was that we didn't know a good place to receive Thai medicine treatment. After knowing that Balavi Natural Health Center offers Thai medicine treatment, I hurriedly mad an appointment."

Mrs. Duangdao told us me about the diagnosis that she had muscle tension. The strain was so great that she could have rigid and stuck fascia if she didn't cure it. The doctor, thus, told her to massage and compress her muscles to prevent soreness and also to detoxify and eat appropriate food for her body.

"After receiving Thai medicine treatment, I gain more knowledge. For example, I know that herbal medicine won't leave toxic substances in your body and detoxification helps our body to work more effectively. Eating appropriate food for our body helps our body to gain more nourishment, and massage can reduce muscle tension and enlarge blood vessels and nerve ending so that blood can flow easily."

Actually, Thai medicine treatment doesn't contain only massage treatment. Its treatment covers every stage of our life starting from when we were born until we reach an old age. It is set on a basis of "Ru"- getting rid of the toxic from your body, "Lom" - protect your body from being re-infected, and "Ragsa" - curing symptoms by applying different ways of treatment such as massage, steam bath , compress, prenatal and post-natal Thai folk treatment by using traditional Thai medicine that has been accepted for its effectiveness for more than a hundred year.
