A Prospectus On Ayurvedic Medicine Programs

By Catherine Kennedy


Healthcare is also a polarizing area of consideration, seeing as people cannot really agree on how best to approach it. Medical techniques abound, and thats not counting in the considerable number of alternative and complementary practices currently in use. Ayurvedic Medicine Programs, for instance, are a popular sort of alternative medical method.

The common ground is its theories on elemental balance. The scriptures seem to imply that there is a kind of metaphysical force that connects the common person to the universe as a whole. Similarly, discrepancies in the bodily systems of a person, even down to the minutest cell, can impinge on ones overall health. Energy blocks and mental dissension can be responsible for physiological and physical complaints. Perhaps less vaguely, it hints that there is some sort of universal interconnectedness at work.

Ayurveda is a holistic enterprise, in that it claims to heal a wide variety of diseases and complaints. Correspondingly, a variety of products and practices are also used to combat them. Some contain herbs such as turmeric or aloe, and some have to do with minerals and metals.

Anyhow, this ancient practice is based on the oft pitched concept about elemental balance. It claims to cure someone by aligning his or her bodily systems with one another and the elements of the Earth. It explains how people are affected by the dissemblance of natural order both inside and outside their bodies. This principle proffers the concept of universal interconnectedness among persons and the entire universe.

Additionally, its actually recognized as a kind of proto science by others. It cant be denied that although Ayurveda has detractors, it also has people who acknowledge its healing capabilities. Due to its metaphysical principles and religious roots, however, its seen as something like a science by serendipity. In that it wasnt intentionally founded to become an actual science of sorts.

The Ayurvedic system hasnt at all received the gold standard in the world of medical research, since its practitioners havent conducted sufficiently controlled clinical trials and systemic research reviews to prove that its practices are beneficial and not harmful. The researches held maybe had problems with control groups, research designs, or some such, which make it disreputable among medical research journals.

Therefore, US states dont license Ayurveda practitioners. However, thats not to say that they dont approve of Ayurvedic schools. After all, some practices and techniques of this system are a no brainer, such as midwifery and massaging. Even questionable practices like leeching are acceptable as long as they dont translate to health problems in both the short and long term.

Anyway, the standard practices of Ayurvedic medicine include exercise, yoga, meditation, herbal remedies, and other some such therapies. Special diets are also encouraged, as well as the proper facilitation of natural cycles like sleeping and eating. In this regard, it also zeroes down on lifestyle recommendations, even impinging on seemingly detached factors such as hygiene. There is panchakarma, the toxin and energy block remover. Some forms of surgery are also practiced, as well as bloodletting. Rasa Shastra involves the taking in of metal elements including mercury, lead, and arsenic, that which is not at all encouraged by most conventional medical practitioners. Much predictably, there are also the herbal medicines, involving such herbs like turmeric, basil, aloe vera, etc.

These schools combine didactic education with clinical training. In order to take part in it, the student should have completed a relevant bachelors degree from an accredited school. The system used aims to see health care in an integrative perspective, combining both Eastern philosophy and traditional medicine with modern, conventional medicine. There are also targeted program outcomes and competencies, from practical examinations, clinical skills, development of standardized plans, theory and applications, as well as presentation of methodologies, that which would enable the holistic formation of the student and lead him on his path as an Ayurvedic practitioner.
