Abstract
As the universality of Ayurveda comes more and more into demand based on environmental, physiological and socio- cultural breakdowns across our world we see a need for tools and practices available to a wider audience based in this science. The subject of allopathic medicine vs. alternative medicine has culminated into a new era of healing and wellness adopted predominantly in the West known as Functional Medicine. Functional medicine is primarily interested with the efficiency of gut health and lifestyle choices rendering into optimum vitality and well being. This rather new fashion emerging in medicine is being vastly adopted as healthcare practitioners and medical professionals are understanding that whole health and longevity is no longer a singular or unilateral therapy or protocol. The meeting of alternative healthcare and the adoption of Western medical therapies are proving a more sustainable and evolutionary practice in our world today. Ayurveda, dating back as the oldest form of healing modality spanning over five thousand years, has always been an evolutionary science. It moves with the times and adopts itself within its environment and it’s cultures. It is far more accessible and modern than the classical form of it’s rudimentary recordings in India thousands of years ago. Ayurveda is interested primarily in balance. This balance is also based on individuality. It is a dynamic recognition that the body mind is an intelligence that can mutate and self medicate based on giving a catalyst to the body’s own internal pharmacy. In Ayurveda we say, ‘let food be your medicine’. Ayurveda is interested in gut health as the centerpiece to building high immunity and thus whole health and longevity. The universal and modern adoption of Ayurvedic principles and practices in our world today are forefront and urgent. We need to educate the public of their individual constitution and body mind relationships. We can do this by offering tools and practices of self care that will continuously bring an individual from a state of imbalance to a state of balance and radiance again and again, each time allowing the natural pharmacy of the body’s own intelligence to become stronger and more adaptive. The purpose of bringing Ayurveda into a wider public understanding and practice will harness better modes of healing, lifestyle and productivity. People need to become whole before they can truly become happy. Educating the public on practical solutions like seasonal cleansing bringing about awareness of the inclusion of certain ingredients and superfoods in their diet, meditation and other lifestyle choices will catapult a trajectory of awareness and well being that can render us free of so many ailments almost immediately. Our integrated whole health is an urgent and dire call ushering in a new Golden Age of a new man, radiant, happy and whole.
