Acceptance of Ayurveda in Modern Medical Science: Prof. YK Gupta

   Recently under the aegis of Patanjali Research Institute to bridge the gap between modern medicine and Ayurveda discussion on a single platform keeping an integrated approach to which doctors from prestigious hospitals and institutes of the country and scientists participated.

In the conference A.I.I.M.S. (AIIMS) Bhopal and Jammu President Prof. YK Gupta said that our Ayurveda is very ancient. This is the science that we have forgotten. The system of allopathy is very new but it also has its own merits. When it comes to degenerative diseases, Ayurveda has an upper hand in it, but when it comes to emergency, we also need allopathic medicine. Today we have gathered to bridge the gap between modern medicine and Ayurveda. So we should try to make an integrated system of medicine by combining both allopathy and Ayurveda. Patanjali has taken a big initiative in this which will soon get acceptance all over the world.

Modern medical science accepted importance of Yoga - Ayurveda

Pro. Gupta said that our aim is to make cheap effective medicines accessible to the general public and to establish people's trust on them. When we were ignorant, we neglected Ayurveda in comparison to modern medical science. But now we have come to know the deep secret of Ayurveda. Pujya Swami ji has done the work of making health accessible to the general public free of cost.

Patanjali's Ayurvedic medicines are evidence based

Pro. Gupta said that Pujya Swamiji has not only taken our ancient heritage yoga to the country but to the whole world. Pujya Swami ji and Pujya Acharya ji established Ayurvedic medicines as evidence based medicine on the basis of modern medicine system.

The world rests on faith

There is a saying that the world rests on faith. Pujya Swamiji Maharaj has made this a reality. People have unbreakable faith on them. There is evidence that the effect on which we trust becomes more or less automatic. For example, if we go to the All India Medical Institute of Science, we find such a big building, such a big name, such difficult-to-find doctors and even more difficult-to-find investigation. Don't know how much name is there, half of the disease is cured, it is cured by his expectation, but many times when he gets cheated, he says that Patanjali was better than this. Now, just by seeing Swami ji, the age gets reduced, this is also called Athorn effect. This seems to be the case after meeting Pujya Swamiji. As if the age has decreased by 10 to 15 years, we feel younger. Even for the prescription you get from the doctor, the doctor does not have enough time to write it in good writing or to tell the patient that this medicine should be taken with milk or with water. To be taken in the morning, in the evening or thrice a day, it has to be taken continuously for a year and a half.

After that the patient wanders from there, he goes to the chemist's shop and says brother, this prescription is written correctly, then he says yes, I will give better medicine than this, because there is profit in it. Then the companion of that patient says that friend, this medicine was also prescribed for me, I have kept some now, you take it. So he gives her the wrong medicine.

If we think of tuberculosis, then after 1 month and 15 days the bleeding stops and the patient stops taking the medicine. Why go to the doctor again, the doctor has not said that you have to take medicine continuously for one and a half years. If you don't take it then there is a lot of danger and it becomes a resistance.

So overall, the relationship that should be between the patient and the doctor is not maintained, hence patients' compliance is weak. And its result is also not positive. This is the reason for antimicrobial resistance in India today.
