The Cost-Effective Advantage of Nirva’s Holistic Health Plans Over Conventional Care

"How much are we really spending on health, and is there a better way?"

Have you ever asked this to yourself?

In 2022, U.S. healthcare spending reached $4.5 trillion, which averages to $13493 per person. 

Now, have you thought about why you are spending so much on healthcare?
 

Did You Know?

The cost of healthcare services typically grows faster than the cost of other goods and services in the economy.

There are many possible reasons for that increase in healthcare prices:

  • We have a lot of newly introduced, innovative healthcare technologies that bring in more expensive procedures and products.
  • The U.S. and U.K.  healthcare systems are so complex that they can lead to administrative waste in the insurance and provider payment systems.
  • Lack of enough human resources to provide medical service services can be one of the reasons why there is not enough competition in the healthcare system. This leads to an increase in cost.

How Does It Matter?

Spending on healthcare would not matter much if healthcare spending led to better health outcomes. However, that is not the case, usually in the U.K. and the USA. For example, survey statistics found that the United States lags behind other countries even after spending so much on health services.

What Do Our Clients Say About Their Healthcare System?

So, we asked our clients what bugs them the most about the healthcare system in their country.

Here are the factual inputs we got!

1. Long Waiting Times

People often experience long waiting times for non-emergency procedures. This was not just frustrating for them, but also something that made their health worse.

2. High Costs 

Healthcare costs are notoriously high, leaving them struggling to meet the expenses for even a regular G.P. consultation.

3. Limited Access

Many lack health insurance or have inadequate coverage, limiting adequate access to healthcare services.

4. Funding Issues

In the U.K., the NHS often faces funding issues, which leads to limited resources and staff shortages.

5. No one to Listen

People often feel that they are not heard enough before they are prescribed medications. They wish to know what is wrong with them instead of just following the prescription medications.

And where does everything start to become better? When Nirva Health decided that it's time to listen to everyone - no borders, no language barriers!

Here's how the value of UK and USA services adds up:

Value: £150-250+

2. Personalised Yoga Sessions: Nirva includes 4 one-on-one yoga sessions per month, which in the U.S. and U.K. typically cost £50-80 per session. These sessions are tailored specifically to your needs and chronic conditions, unlike the generic group classes you'd find elsewhere.

Value: £150+ per hour

Your Focus Must be on Preventive Care Rather than Reactive Care

Preventive care focuses on maintaining and enhancing overall health to avoid the onset of disease or the worsening of chronic conditions. 

  • This approach, especially when rooted in holistic treatments, emphasises the body's natural ability to maintain balance and resilience through continuous, proactive care. 
  • Holistic preventive practices include dietary modifications, Yoga, meditation, herbal supplements, and personalised wellness plans that are tailored to an individual's unique needs and constitution. 
  • This proactive approach encourages lifestyle changes and habits that support physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Nirva's approach exemplifies the benefits of preventive care by integrating the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga into modern health routines. By addressing not only symptoms but also the root causes of health imbalances, Nirva's treatment plans aim to create long-term harmony in the body. 

  • In contrast, conventional medicine often leans toward a reactive model—intervening after symptoms appear or when a condition becomes critical. 
  • This reactive nature can sometimes overlook the broader picture of a patient's overall well-being and the lifestyle factors that contribute to chronic issues.

Holistic preventive care, as practised by Nirva, shifts the Focus toward long-term health maintenance.

This approach can reduce healthcare costs over time by minimising the need for intensive treatments or medications. It supports building a robust foundation for health, enhancing resilience to stress, illness, and age-related conditions. In essence, while conventional care plays a crucial role in acute and emergency situations, integrating preventive, holistic strategies fosters sustainable well-being, allowing individuals to live healthier, more balanced lives.

Why is Nirva the Best Choice?

In the crowded world of wellness apps, it's easy to be overwhelmed by the options. However, few offer the level of personalised, holistic care that Nirva provides. By addressing both the mental and physical aspects of wellness through Ayurveda and therapeutic Yoga, Nirva offers more than just temporary fixes—it offers a lifestyle change.

With flexible pricing, Nirva ensures there's a plan for everyone, whether you're looking to dip your toes in holistic health or fully commit to a personalised wellness journey.
