What ails homeopathy and ayurveda?

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Both ayurveda and homeopathy are beset with problems. Most very similar to what modern medicine faces.

 

1.. The quality of students that should join these courses, people with both practical and intuitive skills, are not studying these courses.

2. The homeopathic and ayurvedic systems require a holistic view. The core principles of these systems are often very puzzling to the students.

3. The students are made to doubt their theory by modern doctors who come to teach them anatomy, physiology, epidemology and public health concepts. They try to teach their own methods without a glimpse into the genious of these systems. As a result students are exposed to reductionist views.

4. House surgeonship is often completed in modern hospitals as very few of patients on homeopathic treatment require hospitalisation. In ptient crowd in ayurvedic hospitals is also not much. Both these systems are of the view that patients are best treated in an environment they are familiar with.

5. Nowadays the super speciality hospital concept is being copied by ayurvedic practitioners too.

6. Neither homeopathy nor ayurveda is very keen about over the counter products. The various tonics/preparations give relief but whether the patients head towards recovery is a big question.

7. Homeopathy is not homeopthy without its core principles and neither is ayurveda.

8. Without a strong base of fundamentals, the emerging doctors may not feel comfortable in their professions and suffer from inferiority complex.

9.. Neither homeopathy or ayurveda is an profitable venture. In earlier times the intelligentia of the society used to study and practice for the sake of service and not for profit. Today we are seeing the blatant commercialisation that has taken over these systems too. Big brother is also to be blamed for this.

10. Today medicines are prepared by machines whereas skilled personnel added their own skills with the knowledge of medicine and its philosopy and thus value enriched the systems.

11. Homeopathy is an energy based system where case taking, examination, consultation, prescription, delivery all required specialised skills. In ayurveda individual skills was very important. In ayurveda the vaidyas prepared their own medicines to perfectly match the body constitution of the patient...

12. Patients today require "instant relief" thus the homeopath and ayurved often stray from their strict retinue.

13. With increased medication, vaccination the symptoms the body expresses have undergone a sea change for the worst. The normal symptoms do not present themselves. This is a very important reason homeopaths and ayurveds try their best to stop early medication and vaccination of children. With their knowledge they see children loose their natural immunity. These children are very difficult to treat. Once upon a time children responded very well to homeopathy but now with diseases expressed due to toxicity, the children display symptoms that are very difficult to cure.

14. The quality of medicines was due to plants growing naturally in different ecosystems and types of soil, the same plant could yield solutions to different illnesses. Today we have mass production, monocultures, and overuse of pesticides and fertlisers affecting deeply the medicinal properties in plants.

15. In ayurveda even the plucking of medicicines required appropriate timing and chants. These have been forgotten. The practitioners also led very strict lives. Therefore they developed strong intuition powers. They respected the plants and requested it to deliver its potential. Today we see pranic healers, energy healers, Reiki practitioners trying to follow such practices.

 

We hope AYUSH takes all these factors into consideration and try to lift all systems available in order to give a choice to the patient.
