This calls for a reevalua-tion of all the medicine systems and if we know where to look exactly, the scenario wouldn't seem so desolate.While many systems of med-icines were developed around the world over the course of time and western medicine is the one that is seen as the most advanced one, for a change, let's consider the medicine system that originated as early as 3,500 years ago. Ayurveda, which is India's own and the world's first health sci-ence is still much in the convention. Misfortunately grouped as alternative medicine, Ayurveda has the potential to not only heal the most complex of dis-eases, it is the only medical science that tells us how to stay healthy with-out any medicine. Around the world, many countries have been discreet-ly recognizing and using Ayurveda in their health care. Whether it the United States, Germany, or Australia, Ayurvedic health centers, teaching institutes, and research wings have been functioning for years now. One of the main treatment therapies in Ayurveda, Panchakarma has proved to contain the side effects of chemo-therapy in cancer patients. The whole world is recognizing Ayurveda, at its own pace and it is vital to know that this Indian medicine system can do wonders even in the cases of chronic and challenging diseases. One im-portant question that figures itself here is where does India stand when it comes to Ayurveda?The past many decades have re-mained bleak in creating awareness about the advantages of Ayurveda or elevation of the Ayurveda practi-tioners. In the past 3-4 years, howev-er, a remarkable effort has been done by the government to address the sur-mounting health problems by reviv-ing the reach of Ayurveda into the mainstream. Ministry of AYUSH has exclusively been created to pro-mote and propagate Ayurveda and other medicine systems. Ayurveda colleges are being given infrastruc-ture support, more health centers are opening, Ayurveda education is being revamped, and people are be-ing made aware of how Ayurveda can effectively offer them the reme-dy they have been seeking for years. If you mark my word, it's the new dawn of Ayurveda in India and there-upon a new age of health care aimed to restore wellness and health in the society.A medicine system based upon the properties of natural herbs, time-proven, and effective against all the diseases is what the people need to stay well. Every Ayurveda practitioner in India has seen com-plicated diseases getting healed us-ing Ayurvedic treatment. Evidences are just overwhelming in numbers if health organizations care to col-late them.All said, Ayurveda needs a complete infrastructure so that it reaches everyone, everywhere. Inno-vative health tech is also required to address the challenges faced by the practitioners. Proper training, clini-cal exposure for Ayurveda students, research to validate new findings against newer diseases, platforms to bridge the knowledge gaps, and ini-tiatives to bring more awareness in people about the benefits and basic concepts of Ayurveda are some of the most urgent requirements in the healthcare industry today. Ayurveda can save lives. It has done so for so many centuries. What's more, it is a preventive and holistic medicine science that offers the way to a healthy and disease-free life. It is time to adopt Ayurveda as the primary treatment choice. Once we embrace Ayurveda for health and wellness, India will lead the world by example in no time. Nothing else would be a better benefaction to the new generation than the gift of opti-mal health. Stay Nirog. There are more than 15 million cases of cancer, a staggering 300 million suffer from asthma, around 750 million have obesity, and 415 million have succumbed to diabetes.
