6 Truths about Ayurveda
#1 Ayurvedic medicine is less effective.
Truth: It is true that this method of treatment calls for more
patience and endurance. The effectiveness can be cited by this
example.
Whenever there is a tear in a cloth or a hole in a pitcher, we
intend to rectify it using the similar material that it is made
of. Similarly any fault in human body also calls to be corrected
by use of natural resources, as much as possible.
#2 Ayurvedic medicines are slow in showing results.
The irony lies with the delay from patient's side. Most patients
visiting holistic practitioners take their time in trying other
systems of medicine so as to derive a faster result. This not
only delays the effect of medicine, it also hampers the working
of the drug. This is because the patient has either tried much
more complicated and powerful combination of drugs, the effect
of which needs to be neutralized first. Or in the mean time, his
malady has substantially become deep rooted and taken chronic
form. It may at times show to work slowly, but as the fable goes
slow and steady wins the race.
# 3 Ayurvedic medicine has side effects.
Any side effect from medicine, of any therapy, may result from
the misuse of drug, either in processing or in prescribing. As
far as side effect or after effect is concerned, I believe time
tested medicines are safer provided the former two factors are
precise. The safety of Ayurvedic medicine and mode of treatment
may be advocated in 3 pints.
1. In Ayurveda the very first principle in treating a disease is
to do away with the basic cause, and also to see that no new
ailment emerges as a consequence. A disease is eradicated from
its roots. 2. Ayurveda insists that medicine be centered at the
patient, than on the disease. The mind, body and soul are
considered a tripod and medicine is prescribed for overall
health augmentation. 3. Since Ayourvda deals with preparations
mainly from herbs and natural resources, it is a harmless
therapy with least or no side effects.
#4 Ayurvedic medicines are for older patients.
There is no known limitation in this form of treatment. It is
equally suited to all age groups. Ayurveda could be considered a
boon for children when their body system is yet tender and in
process of immunity building. The natural products do not
interfere with their body resistance and at the same time tends
to be more safe and comforting.
#5 Ayurvedic medicines are just an alternative.
Ayurvedic system of medicine is incorrectly quoted as an
alternate therapy as this has always been the most ancient and
complete system of medicine. It's been existing before the birth
of other medical therapies. The word Ayurveda is itself derived
from 'Ayush' which means life and 'Veda' which means science.
There fore, Ayurveda is the complete science of life. It is a
treasure to provide every individual a life full of health,
vigor and vitality.
