Ayurveda is indeed in the focus today. As an ancient saying that the truth exists somewhere but the wise perceive it in many ways. Like the story of The Blind Men and an Elephant, the giant Ayurveda is apperceived in a myopic way. The recent article published in Express Pharma under the column Forum brings out the attention and an attitude of the cross section in the pharma business today is worth browsing.
The debate between contemporary medicine and Ayurveda is believed to be 'Beyond comparison'. Read this from the article -
Allopathy and ayurveda are as different as day and night, and hence the two sets of opposing views. However, if one has to compare ayurveda and allopathy on one platform, then such comparison might be a tad difficult. "Allopathy treats individuals as an independent physical entity like a machine. It is further sub-divided into various organs and systems looked after by different specialities or super/sub-specialities, in which the individual loses one's identity. Whereas, ayurveda treats the individual as a whole, considering him to be a part of the universal whole" .
A positive aspect in the whole ayurveda vs allopathy issue, is the fact that, people are now open to know more about this ancient science. Also while there might not be prejudices or bias against the same, there are certain misconceptions, which can only be dispelled with knowledge and information dissemination. "There are no prejudices surrounding ayurveda. There may be misconceptions regarding its practice. If anything, the interest in this system of medicine has been growing rapidly both in the domestic and international market, attesting to its popularity and widespread acceptance".
