AYURVEDA - The mother of all
medical wisdoms |
| |
Ayurveda (ayush=life; vid=wisdom-Sanskrit)
is said to be the most ancient of medical systems. The ancient Vedic
tradition, cognized by the Great Indian seers, offers a wealth of
knowledge for healthy and meaningful life.1 Since Ayurveda (Part of
Atharvaveda, the last of the four Vedas) is timeless and unbounded
it has relevance even to the present day. It was Mark Twain who once
said: "So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone,
either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country
that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten,
nothing overlooked."  |

ARE YOU EATING RIGHT? |
| |
| On the face of it this looks like a silly
question. This is the most profound question today as most of us,
the unfortunate literate lot, are being bombarded on all sides, both
by the print and electronic media, about the benefits of eating this
or that food supplement. A simple formula would be to consider anything
very heavily advertised as potentially harmful. If that is not so
why, on earth, should such a thing like a food item be advertised
in the first place? To make matters worse we are in the rat race against
time these days. Both husband and wife working full time adds to the
problem, while it is an economic necessity. Under those circumstances
it looks very attractive to go in for ready-made quick fixes of canned
and preserved foods. To make the whole exercise safe we think we could
swallow a few multivitamin and anti-oxidant pills along with meals! |
