The Narendra Modi authorities has given an amazing and laudable impetus to the Indian conventional science of Ayurveda. Because the world is grappling with the Covid pandemic, all eyes as we speak are on India as each family adopted the precautionary measures of consuming Karah or the spiced natural decoction to spice up immunity. This age-old knowledge of Ayurvedic herbs and the outdated Sanatan essence of life ensured that the pandemic was higher contained.
In 2014, when BJP got here to energy, emphasis was given to Ayurveda by introducing a Ministry with a chosen minister for Ayurved. Prime Minister Narendra Modi additionally initiated the Worldwide Yoga Day, taking a agency name to revive the roots of our wealthy heritage. In his phrases, “Yoga is a useful present of India’s historic custom.”
“The present state of affairs is the precise time for Ayurveda and conventional drugs to develop into extra well-liked globally”. Inaugurating the fourth version of the International Ayurveda Pageant 2021, he mentioned Ayurveda may rightly be described as a holistic human science. “From the vegetation to your plate, from issues of bodily power to psychological well-being, the impression and affect of Ayurveda and conventional drugs are immense.”
On this context, a current introduction to a 3,500-year-old legacy embodied in Vaidyaratnam, Dr Raghvan Ramankutty of Dathathreya Ayurveda has created an immense and radical shift in my concepts of well-being and wellness. On the identical time, it dawned on me that there was a scientific erosion of our nice legacy from our consciousness. Dr Raghvan has been practising Ayurvedic therapy for greater than 5 a long time throughout three continents. A wholesome physique or poorna sareera, in physician’s phrases, is a physique that isn’t solely free from illness however can also be swastham that’s in a peaceable state.
I used to be awestruck with the importance of ‘Pulse Examination’ which is the point of interest of Dr Raghavan’s therapy. By feeling the heart beat of the affected person, the roots of an ailment are recognized. No matter occurs to us bodily or mentally is indelibly imprinted in us in a microscopic kind. Throughout pulse examination, this involves the fore in a crystal-clear method. An skilled doctor can decipher and decode these vibrations. These findings assist to slender down the prognosis. It’s a scientific method. However to grasp this, one wants deep examine and an knowledgeable instructor.
Raghvan says: “We deal with the affected person, whereas others deal with the illness.” By way of pulse examination, he will get a transparent image of not solely the bodily and psychological state of the affected person but in addition an concept of how the affected person will reply to completely different medicines. “In different phrases, we don’t zero in on paracetamol for all fevers. The affected person will likely be analysed intimately to search out out his individualistic tendencies, underlying trigger, and his individualistic reactions to the therapy. Then alone therapy is determined for fever.”
Every affected person is exclusive and every is prescribed a unique drugs for a similar illness. Ayurveda relies on 3 rules of hetu (trigger), lingam (symptom) and aushadham (drugs). That is the precision of a health care provider who started his coaching on the age of 9 along with his Guru Swami Dhananjaya Dathathreya Dev. For 3,500 yr, the Dathathreya heritage has preserved the information of Ayurvedic drugs in its pristine purity.
There’s nice humility and reverence for the Guru, who advanced as a father, mom, brother and good friend for Dr Raghvan. As our Hon’ble Prime Minister has noticed innumerable occasions, Ayurveda is not only an enormous medical system but in addition a religious journey. Dr Raghvan travelled to 44 international locations to find out about therapies and vegetation, took steerage below stalwarts in Vedic research, Himalayan monks & Ayurveda consultants. In Dr Raghavan’s phrases, “Ayurveda relies on Sidhanta or axiomatic rules, it’s got a treatment for no matter ailments exist and no matter ailments are more likely to pop sooner or later.” He chooses to erase phrases like “unattainable”, “incurable”, “final stage” from the doctor’s dictionary.
And that’s as a result of he has efficiently dealt with and handled innumerable well being situations deemed incurable by trendy science. There are greater than 80 various kinds of autoimmune ailments with none established treatment. Debilitating situations like Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism, Sleep Apnoea, Optic harm, Spinal accidents, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Polymyositis, Diabetic problems in addition to uncommon ailments like Rett Syndrome, Kabuki Syndrome, Rheumatic chorea are all being efficiently managed by Ayurvedic therapy with sufferers testifying to having a extra steady life in care. In the course of the Chikungunya epidemic, Dr Raghavan efficiently handled 16,700 sufferers at 72 camps.
Our Honourable Prime Minister has all the time extolled the advantages of yoga and Ayurveda in offering preventive and protecting well being methods to deal with stress and treatment stress induced sophisticated ailments. Now, with the world engulfed in a pandemic and trendy drugs grappling with its limitations, I feel the answer lies within the palms of stalwarts like Dr Raghvan. Modiji has introduced that India is the precise place for “wellness tourism” exactly as a result of now we have Ayurvedic practitioners like Dr Raghvan whose expertise and dedication to his sufferers is pure and optimistic. Hopefully, will probably be a step that results in higher recognition and acceptance of Ayurveda as a panacea for not solely recognized but in addition incurable situations.
