Fifth Year- The final year project is comprised of two parts. Whilst the first part inves-tigated vulnerable communities in contemporary societies, in particular, what are preventing Travelling Communities from leading a transient life. The brief proposed a series of strategies that protected Travelling Communitys vulnerabilities and en-couraged them to lead a mobile life once again. The second part of the final year explored Health Care in contemporary society, and called for radical changes to how future health care can be accessed. It proposes a whole new health service for the London borough of Peckham, where alternative medical treatments are encour-aged, to reflect and preserve the distinct cultural identity of the local community, and also it questioned the need for centralized healthcare, instead, proposes an de-cen-tralized health service that is saturated into the urban fabric of the community, there-fore suggest access to healthcare can and should become a part of everyday life.

An Alternative Health System
Medicalization is a concept rst introduced by Ivan Illich, who famously attacked the medical establishment with his book Medical Nemesis, in which he proposed that the only way to reverse the eect of medicalization was to shift the power of health care from physician to patient. However, I would like to cast a more critical eye over his theory of self-care; as forty years post Medical Nemesis indicates, the ability of patients to administer their own health has never been greater. Yet the medicalization of our society has only increased. Therefore I argue that if we are to liberate from a medicalised society, it does not lie in the patients own hands, but rather, it is within the social, societal and environmental context surrounding the patient, as an increasing amount of illness are attributed to these factors.

Clinic Typologies Blueprint For A New Alternative Health Service
Modern medical services are no longer hospital based and physician directed, instead, its saturated and diused into the urban fabric of the city, where every setting of human beings reside and frequent have become places of medical intervention. Therefore, it can be said that our society is becoming ever increasingly medicalised. With this notion in mind; I would like to exp-lore the spatial implications of a medicalised society, in particular the therapeutic potentials of those everyday setting where human beings reside and frequent.

My design proposal is set 50 years ahead in the future in 2060, when the NHS is predicted to have been fully privatised from the government. Instead it would be operated and ran by phar-maceutical corporations, who controls and manipulates who, why and how we access its health services.

5th Year- Final Project Instant Access to Health
Both an investigation of the current health care service of the United Kingdom and an examination of the health conditions of modern health care facilities. My final project calls for a complete overhaul of a local health care service in Peckham, London. The brief consists of 25 alternative health clinics that can be integrated into the urban fabric of the local community, making access to health care far easier, efficient and more dynamic, as it would become a part of the everyday process. For example, going to the supermarket also mean accessing the dietician; going to the gym can get access to the physio-therapist; and going to the local butchers can access the minor surgery clinic.

There are conclusive evidences that indicates visual exposure to plants and other nature lasting only a few minutes can foster considerable restoration or recovery from stress. This relationship can be explained from two dierent perspectives. Firstly, escapism. Scenes of nature, such as gardens, owers, trees, provide us with visual stimulation; this allows the patient, whilst waiting for consultation or recovering from op-eration, a means of escaping the stress and anxiety as a result of experiencing illness and pain, thoughts of negativity and anxiety could be replaced by the interplay of nature and mind, creating an opportunity for day dream, the visual scenery of nature can physically, and mentally allow us to escape the bounded and restricted connement that of a health clinic. As illustrated by Cooper-Marcus and Barness experiment, a patient whom they observed and interviewed remarked: Its a good escape from what they put me through. I co-me out here between appointments. I feel much calmer, less stressed
Third, privacy. Together with control, another major contributing factor to stress and anxiety in the medical environment is the lack of personal space. Health clinics are social spaces, whether its between patient and doctor, or patient to patient, or doctor to doctor, we are never alone in a medical facility. Yet sometimes we just want to be left alone, to think, to recover, to reect, to grief. This is particularly relevant in time of illness, where psychological trauma and disease make us confront reality thats often painful and arduous. In those situa-tions we probably do not want to socialise or occupy a social space. In this context, nature and in particular, a garden provides intimate, close personal privacy that allows the act of reection, recuperation and bereavement.
The spaces in modern clinics that pose the most threat to their occupant: the clinical wards, and waiting area and the transitional spaces such as the corridors.

Health Analysis in Peckham, Southwark
The NHS conducted annual public health report found that the health of people in Southwark is worse than the England average. Life expectancy in men is lower than for Eng-land as a whole, and the rates of infant death and deaths from smoking, and levels of violent crime and drug misuse are all higher than average. There are health inequalities within Southwark. Nearly 60% of residents live in areas classified as being in the fifth most deprived areas in England. Life expectancy, especially for men, is shorter in these areas than other less deprived parts of the borough. In the past ten years, death rates for all causes combined have improved for men and women. The rate for women is now similar to the national average. Rates have fallen for early deaths from cancer, as well as from heart disease and stroke, but the latter remain higher than the English average.
Southwark has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in England, however levels of smoking in pregnancy and breast feeding initiation are better in Southwark than the England average. The proportion of children living in poverty, GCSE achievement and level of childhood obesity are worse than average.

Personal Experience in Ac-cessing Health Services
The diagram above illustrates the com-plex processes involved to enable one to see a specialist doctor. This was drawn from personal experience, however, the often long waiting time for an appoint-ment with a specialist doctor, are well documented by research and is one of the biggest problems facing the NHS. Also the diagram highlights other social and economic mechanisms that could easily prevent a member of a transient community from accessing adequate health service, such as having a tel-ephone to make an appointment, means of transport to get to the health clinic from their residence, and being able to fill out forms regarding health status.
Project introduction:Instant Access to Health: A health Corridor along Peckham High Street
The project calls for a series of health clinics that offer alternative treatments such as Ayurveda, Chinese and African Herbal Medicine across the London bor-oughs of Peckham. This proposal is a direct response to the changing landscape of healthcare thats taking place across Britain, where the proposed privatisation of the NHS is making headline news on a daily basis. The proposal explores how privatisation of the NHS could affect the way we will access and interact with healthcare facilities in the future, where hospitals could be the reserve of major surgical procedures and emergencies, while GPs and local surgeries could multiply across the urban landscape to cope with the majority of the populations health matters, from primary care to post-natal care.
Access to health care could become a part of everyday experience; Going to the local supermarket could also mean a pit-stop at the dieticians, or getting your hair cut in the local hairdressers mean a visit to the dermatologist to resolve scalp allergies. The privatisation of the NHS could see the commercialisation of healthcare facilities throughout our cities, where the sight of a clinic could become as ubiquitous as your local convenience store; instant access to health could become the reality of future healthcare.
Furthermore, as opposed to the bio-medical model offered by the NHS, these new clinics could offer a more natural and holistic framework for health care and a bigger emphasis on health prevention, and more importantly, they offer a health service that reflects the multiple identities and diverse cultural beliefs of the local demography, creating a health service that is sensitive to both place and culture.

The social and cultural diversity of Peckham, and how it could be integrated to formed a collective, community health care system.
Peckham is one of the most ethnically diverse areas of the UK. These are the statistics for the ethnic groups in the Peckham ward according to the 2001 Census.
* Black African - 35.67%* White British - 25.73%* Black Caribbean - 15.45%* Other White - 4.58%* Other Black - 3.58%* Chinese - 3.51%* Other Asian - 2.14%* White Irish - 1.93%* Mixed White-Black Caribbean - 1.86%* Bangladeshi - 1.25%* Other Mixed - 1.17%* Mixed White-Black African - 1.08%* Indian - 0.69%* Other South Asian - 0.68%* Mixed White-South Asian - 0.35%* Pakistani - 0.33%

Acupuncture is a type of alternative medicine that treats patients by in-sertion and manipulation of solid, generally thin needles in the body
Peckham, a melting pot of alternative health models and treatment methods from all across the globe
The benecial eects of therapeutic sauna include unstable angina pectoris, recent myocardial infarction, and severe aortic stenosis. Sauna is safe, how-ever, for most people with stable coronary heart disease. It is not harmful to the aged when used in moderation, is safe even for young infants over 3 m-onths if limited to short (< 3 minutes) sessions, and does not aect wound healing. Sauna use may reduce the incidence of the common cold, and tem-porarily relieve the symptoms. It increases performance in endurance sport, increases plasma volume and red cell volume in athletes, decreased systolic blood pressure, signicantly improved exercise tolerance, increased peak re-spiratory oxygen uptake, and enhanced anaerobic threshold in chronic con-itions
Chinese Herbal Medicine, along with the other components of Chinese medicine, is based on the concepts of Yin and Yang. It aims to understand and treat the m-any ways in which the fundamental balance and harmony between the two may be undermined and the ways in which a person's Qi or vitality may be depleted or blocked. Chinese herbology is the theory of traditional Chinese herbal therapy, which accounts for the majority of treatments in traditional Chinese medicine. The term herbology is misleading in so far as plant elements are by far the most commonly, but not solely used substances; animal, human, and mineral products are also utilized. There are roughly 13,000 medicinals used in China and over 100,000 medicinal recipes recorded in the ancient literature.Plant elements and extracts are by far the most common elements used.
Many traditional medicinal practitioners are people without education, who have rather received knowledge of medicinal plants and their ee-cts on the human body from their forebears. They have a deep and personal involvement in the healing process and protect the therapeu-tic knowledge by keeping it a secret. In a manner similar to orthodox medicinal practice, the practitioners of traditional medicine specialize in particular areas of their profession. Some, such as the inyangas of Swaziland are experts in herbalism, whilst others, such as the South African sangomas, are experts in spiritual healing as diviners, and oth-ers specialize in a combination of both forms of practice. There are also traditional bone setters and birth attendants. Herbalists are becom-ing more and more popular in Africa with an emerging herb trading ma-rket in Durban that is said to attract between 700,000 and 900,000 tra-ders per year from South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. Smaller rade markets exist in virtually every community. Their knowledge of herbs has been invaluable in African communities and they were the o-nly ones who could gather them in most societies.
Oce for National Statistics (ONS) 2001 Census
The most recent source of information on ethnicity in Peckham Community Council is the 2001 census.
5 This is still the most reliable source of information on ethnicity for Peckham Community
Council, as the GLA 2007 Round Ethnic projections do not provide ethnicity data below borough level. In 2001 the largest proportion of the population was the Black African ethnic group (35%), with the aggregated Black ethnic group accounting for 52% of the population. The remaining Black
and Minority Ethnic Groups (BME) accounted for 30% of the population. The second largest ethnic group was the White British (25%). Peckham Community Council has the highest proportion of
residents in the Black ethnic group than any other Community Council. The following table shows the ethnic diversity of Peckham Community Council from the 2001 census.

African and African Inspired Ritual Healing
African and African inspired spritual healing is a holistic discipline involving indigenous herbalism and African spirituality, typically involving diviners, midwives, and herbalists. Practitioners of traditional African medicine claim to be able to cure various and diverse conditions from cancers to psychiatric disorders.
Diagnosis is reached through spiritual means and a treatment is prescribed, usually consisting of an herbal remedy that has not only healing abilities, but symbolic and spiritual signicance. Traditional African medicine, with its belief that illness is not derived from chance occurrences, but through spiritual or social imbalance, diers greatly from Western medicine, which is technically and analytically based. In the 21st century, modern pharmace-uticals and medical procedures remain inaccessible to large numbers of African people due to their relatively high cost and concentration of health centres in urban centres. In recent years, African medical practitioners have acknowledged that they have much to learn from traditional medical prctices.
African Spritual Healing can be divided into three dierent sub-catogories:these include: -Haitian Spritual Healing -West African Spritual Healing-Louisiana Spritual Healing
Voodoo is often associated with the lore of Satanism, zombies and voodoo dolls. Zombie creation has been referenced within rural Haitian culture,[19] but is not a part of the Voodoo religion. Such manifestations fall under the auspices of the bokor or sorcerer rather than the priest of the Lwa.
The practice of sticking pins in voodoo dolls has history in folk magic. Voodoo dolls are often associated with New Orleans Voodoo and Hoodoo (folk magic) as well the magical devices of the poppet and the nkisi or bocio of West and Central Africa.
Haitian Spritual Healing
Often also known as Haitian Voodoo, it is a syncretic religion that originat-es in the Caribbean country of Haiti. It is based upon a merging of the be-liefs and practices of West African p-eoples (mainly the Fon and Ewe), wi-th Arawakian religious beliefs, and Roman Catholic Christianity. Voodoo was created by African slaves who were brought to Haiti in the 16th ce-ntury and still followed their traditio-nal African beliefs, but were forced to convert to the religion of their slavers.Practitioners are commonly describe-d as Vodouisants
Basic OverviewThe principal belief in Haitian Vodou is that deities called Lwa (or Loa) are subordinates to a god called Bondy. This supreme being, benevolent cre-ator of all things, does not intercede in everyday human aairs, and it is to the Lwa that Vodou worship is dir-ected.Other characteristics of Vodou include veneration of the dead and protection against evil witchcraft.
Haitian Vodou shares many traits w-ith other faiths of the African diaspo-ra, including the Louisiana Voodoo of New Orleans, Santera and Arar of Cuba, and Candombl and Umbanda of Brazil. A Haitian Vodou temple is called an Hounfour. Vodou parapher-nalia, Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Ayurveda Healing
Ayurveda medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to India and a form of alternative medicine. In Sanskrit, words yus, meaning longevity, and veda, mea-ning knowledge or science. The earliest literature on Indian medical practice ap-peared during the Vedic period in India, i.e., in the mid-second millennium BCE. The Suruta Sahit and the Charaka Sahit are encyclopedias of medicine compiled from various sources from the mid-rst millennium BCE to about 500 CE. They are among the foundational works of Ayurveda. Over the following centuries, ayurvedic practitioners developed a number of medicinal preparations and surgical procedure-s for the treatment of various ailments.
ApproachThe three doas and the 5 elements from which they are composed.
At an early period, Ayurveda adopted the physics of the ve elements Pthv (earth), Jala(water), Agni (re), Vyu (air) and ka (Sky)) that compose the universe, incl-uding the human body. Chyle or plasma (called rasa dhtu), blood (rakta dhtu), esh (msa dhtu), fat (medha dhtu), bone (asthi dhtu), marrow (majja dhtu), and semen or female reproductive tissue (ukra dhtu) are held to be the seven primary constituent elements saptadhtu of the body. Ayurvedic literature deals elaborately with measures of healthful living during the entire span of life and its various phases. Ayurveda stresses a balance of three elemental energies or humors: Vyu vta (air & space wind), pitta (re & water bile) and kapha (water & earth phlegm). According to ayurvedic medical theory, these three substances doas (literally that which deteriorates)are important for health, because when they exist in equal qua-ntities, the body will be healthy, and when they are not in equal amounts, the body will be unhealthy in various ways. One ayurvedic theory asserts that each human po-ssesses a unique combination of doas that dene that persons temperament and characteristics. Another view, also present in the ancient literature, asserts that hum-oral equality is identical to health, and that persons with preponderances of humours are proportionately unhealthy, and that this is not their natural temperament. In ayu-rveda, unlike the Skhya philosophical system, there are 20 fundamental qualities, gua inherent in all substances. Surgery and surgical instruments were employed from a very early period, Ayurvedic theory asserts that building a healthy metabolic system, attaining good digestion, and proper excretion leads to vitality. Ayurveda also focuses on exercise, yoga, and meditation.
The practice of panchakarma is a therapeutic way of eliminating toxic elements from the body.
As early as the Mahbhrata, ayurveda was called the science of eight components a classication that became canonical for ayurveda. They are:
Internal medicine (Kya-cikits) Paediatrics (Kaumrabhtyam) Surgery (alya-cikits) Eye and ENT (lkya tantra) Bhta vidy has been called psychiatry. Toxicology (Agadatantram) Prevention of diseases and improving immunity and rejuvenation (rasayana) Aphrodisiacs and improving health of progeny (Vajikaranam)
In Hindu mythology, the origin of ayurvedic medicine is attributed to Dhanvantari, the physician of the gods.

The benecial eects of therapeutic sauna include unstable angina pectoris, recent myocardial infarction, and severe aortic stenosis. Sauna is safe, how-ever, for most people with stable coronary heart disease. It is not harmful to the aged when used in moderation, is safe even for young infants over 3 m-onths if limited to short (< 3 minutes) sessions, and does not aect wound healing. Sauna use may reduce the incidence of the common cold, and tem-porarily relieve the symptoms. It increases performance in endurance sport, increases plasma volume and red cell volume in athletes, decreased systolic blood pressure, signicantly improved exercise tolerance, increased peak re-spiratory oxygen uptake, and enhanced anaerobic threshold in chronic con-itions
Chinese Herbal Medicine, along with the other components of Chinese medicine, is based on the concepts of Yin and Yang. It aims to understand and treat the m-any ways in which the fundamental balance and harmony between the two may be undermined and the ways in which a person's Qi or vitality may be depleted or blocked. Chinese herbology is the theory of traditional Chinese herbal therapy, which accounts for the majority of treatments in traditional Chinese medicine. The term herbology is misleading in so far as plant elements are by far the most commonly, but not solely used substances; animal, human, and mineral products are also utilized. There are roughly 13,000 medicinals used in China and over 100,000 medicinal recipes recorded in the ancient literature.Plant elements and extracts are by far the most common elements used.
Many traditional medicinal practitioners are people without education, who have rather received knowledge of medicinal plants and their ee-cts on the human body from their forebears. They have a deep and personal involvement in the healing process and protect the therapeu-tic knowledge by keeping it a secret. In a manner similar to orthodox medicinal practice, the practitioners of traditional medicine specialize in particular areas of their profession. Some, such as the inyangas of Swaziland are experts in herbalism, whilst others, such as the South African sangomas, are experts in spiritual healing as diviners, and oth-ers specialize in a combination of both forms of practice. There are also traditional bone setters and birth attendants. Herbalists are becom-ing more and more popular in Africa with an emerging herb trading ma-rket in Durban that is said to attract between 700,000 and 900,000 tra-ders per year from South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. Smaller rade markets exist in virtually every community. Their knowledge of herbs has been invaluable in African communities and they were the o-nly ones who could gather them in most societies.

The most recent source of information on ethnicity in Peckham Community Council is the 2001 census.
5 This is still the most reliable source of information on ethnicity for Peckham Community
Council, as the GLA 2007 Round Ethnic projections do not provide ethnicity data below borough level. In 2001 the largest proportion of the population was the Black African ethnic group (35%), with the aggregated Black ethnic group accounting for 52% of the population. The remaining Black
and Minority Ethnic Groups (BME) accounted for 30% of the population. The second largest ethnic group was the White British (25%). Peckham Community Council has the highest proportion of
residents in the Black ethnic group than any other Community Council. The following table shows the ethnic diversity of Peckham Community Council from the 2001 census.

African and African Inspired Ritual Healing
African and African inspired spritual healing is a holistic discipline involving indigenous herbalism and African spirituality, typically involving diviners, midwives, and herbalists. Practitioners of traditional African medicine claim to be able to cure various and diverse conditions from cancers to psychiatric disorders.
Diagnosis is reached through spiritual means and a treatment is prescribed, usually consisting of an herbal remedy that has not only healing abilities, but symbolic and spiritual signicance. Traditional African medicine, with its belief that illness is not derived from chance occurrences, but through spiritual or social imbalance, diers greatly from Western medicine, which is technically and analytically based. In the 21st century, modern pharmace-uticals and medical procedures remain inaccessible to large numbers of African people due to their relatively high cost and concentration of health centres in urban centres. In recent years, African medical practitioners have acknowledged that they have much to learn from traditional medical prctices.
African Spritual Healing can be divided into three dierent sub-catogories:these include: -Haitian Spritual Healing -West African Spritual Healing-Louisiana Spritual Healing
Voodoo is often associated with the lore of Satanism, zombies and voodoo dolls. Zombie creation has been referenced within rural Haitian culture,[19] but is not a part of the Voodoo religion. Such manifestations fall under the auspices of the bokor or sorcerer rather than the priest of the Lwa.
The practice of sticking pins in voodoo dolls has history in folk magic. Voodoo dolls are often associated with New Orleans Voodoo and Hoodoo (folk magic) as well the magical devices of the poppet and the nkisi or bocio of West and Central Africa.
Haitian Spritual Healing
Often also known as Haitian Voodoo, it is a syncretic religion that originat-es in the Caribbean country of Haiti. It is based upon a merging of the be-liefs and practices of West African p-eoples (mainly the Fon and Ewe), wi-th Arawakian religious beliefs, and Roman Catholic Christianity. Voodoo was created by African slaves who were brought to Haiti in the 16th ce-ntury and still followed their traditio-nal African beliefs, but were forced to convert to the religion of their slavers.Practitioners are commonly describe-d as Vodouisants
Basic OverviewThe principal belief in Haitian Vodou is that deities called Lwa (or Loa) are subordinates to a god called Bondy. This supreme being, benevolent cre-ator of all things, does not intercede in everyday human aairs, and it is to the Lwa that Vodou worship is dir-ected.Other characteristics of Vodou include veneration of the dead and protection against evil witchcraft.
Haitian Vodou shares many traits w-ith other faiths of the African diaspo-ra, including the Louisiana Voodoo of New Orleans, Santera and Arar of Cuba, and Candombl and Umbanda of Brazil. A Haitian Vodou temple is called an Hounfour. Vodou parapher-nalia, Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Ayurveda Healing
Ayurveda medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to India and a form of alternative medicine. In Sanskrit, words yus, meaning longevity, and veda, mea-ning knowledge or science. The earliest literature on Indian medical practice ap-peared during the Vedic period in India, i.e., in the mid-second millennium BCE. The Suruta Sahit and the Charaka Sahit are encyclopedias of medicine compiled from various sources from the mid-rst millennium BCE to about 500 CE. They are among the foundational works of Ayurveda. Over the following centuries, ayurvedic practitioners developed a number of medicinal preparations and surgical procedure-s for the treatment of various ailments.
ApproachThe three doas and the 5 elements from which they are composed.
At an early period, Ayurveda adopted the physics of the ve elements Pthv (earth), Jala(water), Agni (re), Vyu (air) and ka (Sky)) that compose the universe, incl-uding the human body. Chyle or plasma (called rasa dhtu), blood (rakta dhtu), esh (msa dhtu), fat (medha dhtu), bone (asthi dhtu), marrow (majja dhtu), and semen or female reproductive tissue (ukra dhtu) are held to be the seven primary constituent elements saptadhtu of the body. Ayurvedic literature deals elaborately with measures of healthful living during the entire span of life and its various phases. Ayurveda stresses a balance of three elemental energies or humors: Vyu vta (air & space wind), pitta (re & water bile) and kapha (water & earth phlegm). According to ayurvedic medical theory, these three substances doas (literally that which deteriorates)are important for health, because when they exist in equal qua-ntities, the body will be healthy, and when they are not in equal amounts, the body will be unhealthy in various ways. One ayurvedic theory asserts that each human po-ssesses a unique combination of doas that dene that persons temperament and characteristics. Another view, also present in the ancient literature, asserts that hum-oral equality is identical to health, and that persons with preponderances of humours are proportionately unhealthy, and that this is not their natural temperament. In ayu-rveda, unlike the Skhya philosophical system, there are 20 fundamental qualities, gua inherent in all substances. Surgery and surgical instruments were employed from a very early period, Ayurvedic theory asserts that building a healthy metabolic system, attaining good digestion, and proper excretion leads to vitality. Ayurveda also focuses on exercise, yoga, and meditation.
The practice of panchakarma is a therapeutic way of eliminating toxic elements from the body.
As early as the Mahbhrata, ayurveda was called the science of eight components a classication that became canonical for ayurveda. They are:
Internal medicine (Kya-cikits) Paediatrics (Kaumrabhtyam) Surgery (alya-cikits) Eye and ENT (lkya tantra) Bhta vidy has been called psychiatry. Toxicology (Agadatantram) Prevention of diseases and improving immunity and rejuvenation (rasayana) Aphrodisiacs and improving health of progeny (Vajikaranam)
In Hindu mythology, the origin of ayurvedic medicine is attributed to Dhanvantari, the physician of the gods.

Steve goes to the supermarket to do this daily shopping. When checking out, he scans his smart phone which has a record of his health problems stored. If the food scanner in the check-out counter detects any food that could ex-acerbate his health conditions, the cashier would be notified and would pa-ss on the notification to Steve. From here he has a choice of visiting the tra-ditional Chinese fire cupping therapist to treat his diet related health ailme-nts. This eliminates the need for making appointments and thus provide an instant access to health.

Margret is on an Ayurveda Swedana treatment course which requires daily herbal steam sessions that lasts 30 minutes. But as she is a single mother and have a child to look af-ter, it would be rather inconvenient for her to leave the house and go to the specialist clinic. However, the local alternative service offers a mobile Ayurveda service where patients can access the health care from the comfort of their own homes. Furthermore, the mobile clinic have an extendable bridge that can link up with the patients own home at different heights, so whether she lives on the second floor or fifth floor, she can instant access the Ayurveda clinics from her window.
David is having his after work hair cut session in the local barber shop. The hairdresser, who is also a qualied dermatologist, notices some scalp prob-lem on Davids head as he cuts his hair. He consults David on this matter to which David conrms that he has been suering from skin complain on his scalp lately. Instantly, the hair dresser oers him an Pizhichil treatment ser-vice, to which he happily accepted. After the haircut, David is led to the ha-ir washing area of the barber shop which also double up as the waiting ro-om of the clinic. While getting his hair washed, he glimpses the herbal pla-nts that the Pizhichil treatment process will be using, giving him an insight
into the realities of herbal medicine.
