Lifestyle - Science

1. You will fall in Love with "Ayurveda", if you really understand what Ayurveda is!

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word, where 'Ayu' means 'Life' & 'Veda' means 'Knowledge'. It's been practiced in India for at least 5000 years. It's a traditional system of natural healing which has been documented in various sacred historical texts like "Charaka Samhita" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charaka_Samhita), "Sushruta Samhita" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushruta_Samhita), "Ashtanga Hridayam" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagbhata) & many more.

What is Ayurveda according to the Society?

Only an Ayur Vaidyas/ Ayurvedic scholars knows the true value & the true beauty of the particular Science. I'll say how you/ Non-Ayurvedic scholars understood Ayurveda as!!??

• Green is nothing but Ayurveda.

Green is not Ayurveda, Ayurveda therpies are typically based on complex herbal compounds, minerals, metals & gems.

• No Surgeries only Medicines, then it's Ayurveda.

Do you even know Who is the "Father of Surgery"? - "Acharya Sushruta" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushruta) He is the first person to invent surgeries. His text (Sushruta Samhita) has the information of Surgical techniques including Rhinoplasty, Kidney stone extractions, Sutures & extraction of foreign objects.

(British Physicians traveled to India to observe the Rhinoplasty being performed using native Indian methods. Instruments described in Sushruta samhita were further modified in Europe.

Joseph Constantine Carpue (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Constantine_Carpue) studied plastic surgery methods in India for 20 years & in 1815 was able to perform the 1st major Rhinoplasty surgery in Western World, using the Indian method of nose reconstruction)

• Is that Kashaya! then it's Ayurveda.

Only Kashaya is not Ayurveda, Ayurvedic formulations ranges from Swarasa (expressed juice), Kalka (paste), Kwatha (decoction), Fanta (hot infusion), Hima (cold infusion), Asava/ Arista (Fermented preparation), Avaleha (semi-solid preparation), Churna (powder form of drug), Sidha taila (medicated oil), Sidha ghrita (Medicated ghee), Guggulu (exudate), Vati/ Gutikas (tablets/ pills) etc.

• Roots & leaves...... then it's Ayurveda.

Only roots & leaves are not Ayurveda - it includes herbs, minerals, metals & gems.

• No good fragrances for medicines, then it's Ayurveda.

We don't want to mix up a chemical to give an artificial fragrance. We maintain Naturality.

• If the medication/ medical treatment is slow, then it's Ayurveda.

The fundamental concept of Ayurveda is to 'maintain Health'. It doesn't look at the disease. It looks at the host & the individual.

• If the name of the medicine brand is so typical Indian name, then it's Ayurveda.

You want your children to be named Pooja, Sruja, Tanuja - not Toni, Moni, Sony right? It's just like that.

• If the brand name of the products are modern. 'No way!....chance illa", it's never be an Ayurveda product.

Come on buddies the brand new product of the markert i.e., 'Beardo' products are made on the basis of Ayurvedic theories. (https://www.beardo.in/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaignid=1496397113&utm_adgroupId=58903062718&utm_adtextid=353963336872&utm_keyword=beardo&placement=&device=c&matchtype=e&adposition=1t1&target=&network=g&gclid=CjwKCAjw29vsBRAuEiwA9s-0B6EXu9cleZtpIuT35e_p6XZv2JF-GrBGRix0gFn1Mvphy2IMK-n_-RoCTPMQAvD_BwE) LOL! Once check out!

• If the medicines doesn't give result for the first use, then it's Ayurveda.

It's not any instant fairness cream to give the result on immediate use. It works on the host to cure the disease.

• If medicines are not wrapped or not bottled, then it's Ayurveda.

We have hell lot of medicinal products which are even more packed in splendid designs than any other medicines. Go explore Ayurveda pharmacies first.

Why do people Blame Ayurveda?

I'll justify this question by giving an simple example, you can even think it as an instance also. LOL!

When patient gets a deadliest disease like Cancer. He visits hell lot of super speciality hospitals to get his cancer treated, that too in the 1st stage.

Visits 100's of hospitals to get it treated. It cures reoccurs, cures reoccurs often.... After all these Dramas, after spending hell lot of bucks visits Ayurveda hospital as a final option, when the cancer is at final stage. After diagnosis its obvious, Doctor says Cancer is already in the final stage, it is difficult  to treat & are unlikely to be cured in the long term, although treatment can help to shrink or control them.Listening to all these patient starts blaming the Science.

Think once, he had wasted his hell lot of money & time roaming hundreds of hospitals & not been cured by all those medicines. At the final stage of cancer approaching us, not only an Ayurveda doctor, any other doctors would have replied the same.

Doctors are Humans, they are referred to Gods, but they are not Gods to create miracles at the final stage of Cancer. If the patient would have visited at his 1st stage of Cancer. Ayurveda would have given him the justice with tremendous therapies & treatments.

If he would have come to us in the beginning, he would not have got the chance to visit any hospitals for the second time in the name of cancer.

It is just like waiting for the plane after it's departure.

This is all happening. This is all because of You. It is not because of Ayurveda or Ayurveda Doctors. It is all because of the foolishness of the people around us. Your misconceptions made even others to blame the Science.

The effectiveness of Ayurveda therapies & treatments has not been widely studied in clinical trials by practitioners of Western Medicine. Therefore some Doctors & other Health care professionals consider Ayurveda as Pseudoscience.

Do you even know this?

Ayurveda is widely practiced on Indian sub continent - like more than 90% of Indians use some form of Ayurveda Medicines - including following its dietary principles, practicing traditonal or 'Grand ma's medicine' or seekingg professional help from trained Ayurveda practitioners, according to the University of 'Minnesota's Centre for Spirituality & Healing' (https://www.csh.umn.edu/)

About 75%-80% of the population of Nepal use Ayurveda, and it is the most practiced form of medicine in the country.

The Sri Lankan tradition of Ayurveda is similar to the Indian tradition. Practitioners of Ayurveda in Sri Lanka refer to Sanskrit texts which are common to both countries.

Ayurveda has been advertised as alternative medicine in the Western world.

Baba Hari Das (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Hari_Dass) was an early proponent who helped bring Ayurveda to the US in the early 1970s. He taught classes derived from the Sushruta Samhita and the Charaka Samhita, leading to the establishment of the Mount Madonna Institute (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Madonna_Institute), College of Ayurveda, Ayurveda World, and Ayurvedic pharmacy.

There are lots of Ayurvedic Medicine institutions outside Indian sub continent.

These few researchs are enough to prove Ayurveda is not pseudo!

• In 1970, WHO conducted a study in conjuction with Ayurveda Trust - a public charitable health care organisation in India to test the effectiveness of Ayurveda treatments in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The study found that such treatments were both safe & effective, providing symptomatic relief of arthritis with no harmful side effects.
• A 2011 study found that an Ayurveda herbal compound was just as effective at treating Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms as 'Trexall' (Methotrexate). (https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-20913/trexall-oral/details)
• Another widely used Ayurveda treatment is Frankincense, a dried resin derived from the Boswellia tree (Shallaki). According to NCCAM (https://nccih.nih.gov/), Osteoarthritis patients had significant decreases in pain after using Frankincense (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankincense) remedy.
• A study published in 2005 in the Journal Cardiology in review suggested that the Ayurveda practice of Yoga may help reduce anxiety & improve quality of life, making it a beneficial practice for those with heart disease & hyper tension.

One more simple example,

Rich, Moderate people & Poor. - Usually we say Rich & Poor people doesn't have negative attitudes. These Moderate people show off so much & they have hell lot of attitude.

In the same way,

Between Ayurveda Practitioner, A person with half Ayurveda knowledge with half other Medical Science knowledge & Non-Ayurveda Practitioner. - Ayurveda & Non-Ayurveda people don't speak anything about their particular Science, the people neither of it without the complete knowledge start yelling something.

They are like they read both 'Mahabharata' & 'Ramayana'. At last says 'Krishna' could have helped 'Rama' to get 'Draupadi' from Lanka. 'Krishna' has a supreme power but also din't help 'Rama'.

LOL! Holy shit! this is all really happening now.

Understand the Sciences & it's theories particularly. Accept it whole heartedly. Respect all the Sciences. Don't degrade any other Sciences. Upgrade your Science.

Believe Ayurveda, Learn Ayurveda, Experience Ayurveda, Suggest Ayurveda, Be Ayurveda, Make India Ayurveda. The true beauty of all the Medical Sciences is 'AYURVEDA' - once explore it.
