From our FAQs.
Why are we seeing a resurgence of Ayurveda?
Today’s patient equipped with knowledge from the Internet, is a much more informed patient. This allows her to be an equal partner in the treatment process rather than the recipient of instructions given by the health care provider.
Not only is the patient seeking wellness, but is also seeking an affordable way to get well. We are seeing in many nations around the world (especially in the United States), health care has become a luxury not all can afford. Large swathes of populations are being left out of the health care safety net.
If health care is not affordable, the treatments method, is not doing a service to humanity – it is only serving a select few.
Ayurveda’s resurgence can largely be attributed to this informed, and empowered care seeker who asks for affordability in staying healthy.

Pancha Karma – Complete Detoxification and Rejuvenation
Pancha Karma -
Complete Detoxification
And Rejuvenation
Pancha Karma simply means five actions. Actions to balance body and mind. It has to be accompanied by Purva Karma i.e. pre-actions and Pashchat Karma i.e. post-actions to get the best results. As per Ayurveda, let us define all three stages:
Purva Karma – There are two Purva Karmas to be done as preparation of Pancha Karma.
1. Abhyanga or Snehana – Therapeutic Oil Massage
2. Swedana – Fomentation
Snehana is to help the doshas or toxins to move into the alimentary tract from the extremities for easy evacuation. It is done in two forms – internally and externally. Ghee is mainly used for Snehana in general for internal snehana. However, depending on body constitution and specific health conditions, certain oils can also be used for snehana.
Swedana or Fomentation is to dilate channels in the body to facilitate the movement of the ama towards the Koshta (alimentary canal). It is also to help in the liquifaction of doshas; it is given after Abhyanga or massaging the body, so after the seventh day of oleation.
Now Panchakarma are to be done as follows:
1. Vamana
2. Virechana
3. Basti
4. Nasya
5. Shirodhara
The above Panchakarma is to be done using appropriate oils, herbs and syrups. Shirodhara can be done by using, milk, herbal teas, yogurt or buttermilk.
After the Pradhan Karmas or Panchakarma, Pashchat Karma are also important. Certain dietary supplements and syrups are important as final balancing of Doshas. This process brings harmony, health and peace for long long time. Pancha Karma done with proper measures and indications give complete rejuvenation. One can feel younger by 20 years by getting complete Pancha Karma process and one can get rid of painful chronic disorders such as Arthitis, Asthma, Diabetes, Hypertension, Obesity, Psoriasis and different types of allergies.
Our success stories in treating above through Pancha Karma are many. We would like you to share your experiences with us. We welcome your comments and open for discussions at doctor@ayurvedagroup.com.

Ayurveda
Eastern vs. Western Medicine systems
Eastern Vs. Western Medicine Systems
Eastern vs. Western Medicine systems
Many a times Ayurvedic practitioners are asked this simple, yet important question – What is the key difference between Eastern and Western systems of medicine ? This post attempts to answer the question.
Huang Di, China’s emperor from about 2697 BC to 2597 BC, had this to say on prevention – “To fight a disease after it has occurred is like trying to dig a well when one is thirsty or forging a weapon once war has begun.”
About Ayurveda
First and foremost, the basic premise of Ayurveda is to stay in good health by focusing on prevention.
Ayurveda looks at health from a perspective of staying healthy; rather than waiting to cure sickness. An Ayurvedic doctor (Ayurvedacharya) is trained to observe changes in her patient – by doing pulse reading, looking for physical changes and asking questions.
The Ayurveda outlook visualizes the body as a whole system, and not isolated organs that need to be taken care of independently.
The basic premise of prevention makes sense to almost everyone. Despite this, most Western health care systems continue to focus on treatment rather than prevention. Why is the obvious question. Could the answer lie in simple economic principles – There is a lot more money in treating illness, when compared to preventing it. This approach has worked for many decades with continuous increases in national health care spending and a parallel growth in the numbers of “ill” citizens.
Have we hit the tipping point on a “Sickness Cure System” vs. a true Health Care system ? Leading economies of the world (including the United States) have to accept that health care is challenging the basic foundations of their economic stability. Prevention of sickness and keeping the nation healthy is increasingly looking like the better (perhaps the only) option vs. waiting for illness to strike and then curing it. American physician Oliver Wendell Holmes summed it well, “To guard is better than to heal – the shield is nobler than the spear!”
Knowing about Ayurveda
There are many who have seen the merits of Ayurveda in staying healthy, rather than waiting to cure illness. While some nations such as Germany have been the early adopter and supporters of Ayurveda, others are increasingly exploring Ayurveda. The Internet can largely be credited for the profound empowerment of individuals when it comes to health information. Being able to know the options available is the first step. Access
Access to Ayurveda
Accessing the knowledge of Ayurveda and reaching practitioners of Ayurveda has been the next challenge. With most countries not allowing the practice of Eastern medicine (through direct or indirect restrictions), the only option was to take a flight down to India. Which in itself is not a very practical or affordable solution by any yardstick.

It is heartening to note that affordable health-care continues to attract the attention of healthcare leaders around the world. The need for affordable healthcare is all the more acute in countries like India.
At Ayurveda Group, we continue to explore ways and partnerships that can lead to enhancing the outreach of Ayurveda. Ayurveda’s core strength is the importance given to prevention of ill-health. And staying healthy is obviously a whole lot more accessible and affordable than curing sickness.
A vast majority of cardiac by-pass surgeries costing lakhs for each patient, can be very well prevented by adopting an Ayurveda guided diet and life-stlye. The same can be said for many of the chronic disorders that drain economies out of valuable financial and human resources.
Further most medications of Ayurveda being plant based, are very affordable.
Yoga exercises are the other call of the day. With no costs of joining health clubs or buying expensive gear, the benefits are there for the asking – by everyone who can spare the few minutes daily.
