The Ayurveda industry, an ancient healthcare system, is fast adopting modern scientific tools and medical technologies keeping its original treatment procedures and theories intact.
Speaking at a virtual two day conference organised
by the Kerala-headquartered India’s leading ayurvedic firm, Vaidyaratnam
Group, Dr. Tanuja Nesari, Director of All India Institute of Ayurveda
(AIIA) of New Delhi said,“With the prospects of a third wave of COVID-19
and its likely impact on children, practitioners of this traditional healthcare
form are emphasising on more and more usage of modern technologies including
MRI, CT Scan, ventilators, RT-PCR tests among others.”
“The
strength of Ayurveda is in prevention and if we are able to prevent our
youngest population from getting infected by COVID, that’s a great
achievement.” Synergy between traditions supported by technology is the
new normal that we have to take forward, she added.
The virtual conference was organised by
Vaidyaratnam Groupas part of its founder’s commemoration day.
Dr.Nesari mentioned that a whopping 99.99 per cent
of the patients who were treated for COVID had recovered well at AIIA’s COVID-care
centre.
Sharing her experience about treating COVID
patients on the second day of the conference, Dr.Nesari said that each and
every patient was supported by yoga, diet, lifestyle, recreation along with
technology.
“So, we have retained the classical crux, the
principle theory and practices of Ayurveda, developed our own holistic
treatment protocol and it’s all supported by conventional bio-medical tools of
investigation like MRI, CT Scan, ventilators, RT-PCR test, oxygen
therapists. “I’m really proud to say that of all the patients that we have
admitted, 99.99 per cent have fully recovered,” she said.
The judicious usage of advancements in other
streams of science has helped validating Ayurveda in the global platform, where
the tag ‘traditional medicine’ got replaced with ‘evidenced based medicine’,
said AshtavaidyanDr. E.T. NeelakandhanMooss, Director of Vaidyaratnam
Group.
He described Vaidyaratnam Ayurveda Research
Institute (VARI) as a place where the integration of Ayurveda and the latest
technologies take place and said that the advancement in the field of Ayurvedic
raw Dr.ug agriculture using ‘Miyawaki’ method to the identification of new Dr.ug
delivery systems are backed up by the latest trends of science and technology.
“Thus, the Vaidyaratnam Group has always been
trying to scientifically update its different verticals like cultivation,
medicine manufacturing, process validation, Dr.ug discovery and healthcare
without losing its quality,” he said.
According to a global study published by Lancet, a
peer reviewed medical journal, around 20 per cent of the COVID positive children
remained asymptomatic. However, the scenario in India was completely different
with as much as 60-70 per cent children turning asymptomatic.
This, according to Ayurveda experts, underscores the need for preventive medications as soon as a member of a family turns COVID positive.
