Panchkula, April 21

Over 100 Ayurvedic doctors from Haryana, Himachal, Punjab, Maharashtra and Karnataka participated in the national Ayurvedic workshop “Care and Cure” held at the Mansa Devi Temple complex in Panchkula today.

The Ayurvedic experts observed that level of education in Ayurveda has increased but there was a need to increase quality of medicines and Ayurved graduates must stick to pure Ayurveda.

Dr BN Kaushal, former chairman, Haryana Ayurveda Board, said every other person in Europe and America talks about research, however, research on Ayurveda does not get priority in India.  He said no nation can progress without science and technology.

Kaushal said the Central Government has taken a good step in this direction. “We are detoxifying heavy metals with the help of nanotechnology. Purification is as high as 99 per cent. ‘Bhasms’ are highly effective and safe,” he said. 

Speakers said around 80-90 per cent money spent on allopathic medicine goes out of India. It would be in the interest of the country if people start practicing Yoga and get treated through Ayurveda.

Poor people should be given equal opportunity in higher education and health. Ayurveda teaches the art of living life, they said.
