“…S in 2016 also shows the role of naturopathy treatments, aiding in reducing the medications and improving the health status of the patients [17]. It is also shown to be effective in maintaining homeostasis by shifting the vitals, favourably like blood pressure, weight, BMI, lipid profile, glycemic status -FG, PPG and HbA1C [22]. On the other hand, massage when given particularly to abdominal area, reduces the abdominal fat and waist circumference [23] through which the Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) gets activated which has gained its attraction as 'antidiabetic tissue' owing to its ability to dissipate energy as heat and forms as a seed for raising Basal Metabolic Rate.…”

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is now becoming a serious medical and socio-economic issue all over the world. Early initiation of combination therapy has been suggested as a way to achieve glycemic control, postpone the complications and possibly restore β-cell function. Naturopathy and yoga is one of the upcoming medical systems which had showed a promising result for many lifestyle disorders and hence, this study was aimed to evaluate the effect of 10 days Integrated Naturopathy and Yoga (INY) treatment especially Abdomen Massage and Neutral Hip Bath on glycemic control and anthropometric measures. Methods: 100 subjects with diabetes were selected and randomly allocated into Case group (naturopathy & yoga intervention with Abdomen Massage and Neutral Hip Bath) and Control group (naturopathy & yoga intervention). The subjects were assessed for blood glucose levels and anthropometric measures at baseline and after the intervention of 10 days. Results: The result of this study showed a significant reduction in Fasting Glucose (FG) and Post Prandial Glucose (PPG) after 10 days of intervention where Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) have not shown significant changes in the groups. The case group has a larger mean difference between pre and post values of FG, PPG, BMI, and WHR as compared to the control group. Conclusion: Abdomen massage with neutral hip bath is relatively better for lowering the FG, PPG along with BMI and WHR, by the activation of adiponectin, Brown Adipose Tissue, Atrial natriuretic peptide and counter-regulatory stress hormones, which control hormonal activity, glucose absorption, metabolism and excretion.

“…The identified components of health treatments and tourist attractions in the wellness tourism conceptual model are considered part of a safe and reliable approach to satisfy tourist expectations for wellness tourism and to pull tourists toward their desired HWB frames (Choi et al, 2015;Hudson et al, 2017;Kelly, 2015;Nair et al, 2016;Pierantozzi, 2013). A destination offering tourism with its advanced interconnected wellness resources helps to maintain its competitive position while attracting new tourists (Chen et al, 2013b;Gatrell, 2011).…”

PurposeWellness tourism is complex due to the varied expectations and perceptions of tourists. This study attempts to explore components that shape tourist expectations of health treatments and tourist attractions, which have not been deeply explored in the extant literature.Design/methodology/approachA scoping review of the literature published between 2000 and 2021 was conducted to reach the conclusions of this study. Out of 303 literature sources, a total of 105 literature sources were retained for the final analysis.FindingsFindings show that tourists expect a mix of health treatments, such as conventional medical treatments and alternative health treatments and tourist attractions, as part of wellness tourism to improve their health and well-being (HWB). A favorable trade-off between tourist expectations and their perception of wellness tourism impacts tourist HWB and behavioral intention.Practical implicationsThe proposed wellness tourism conceptual model and wellness tourism matrix may help wellness tourism service providers to understand tourist expectations for health treatments and tourist attractions in a recent context. Wellness tourism service providers may follow the guidelines outlined in this study to offer health treatments and tourist attractions according to tourist expectations, which may result in the favorable behavioral intentions of wellness tourists.Originality/valueThis study unravels the previously under-explored role of conventional medical treatments, which arguably fall under the category of allopathic medical treatment, in wellness tourism. Destination marketing organizations may focus on the wellness philosophies of health treatments and tourist attractions to meet the growing expectations of wellness tourists for HWB, as outlined in the literature review. This study provides insights into the different components of contemporary wellness tourism those impact wellness tourists' cognitive responses, HWB and behavioral intention.
