Hello Everyone,
Why isn't Ayurveda accepted in this world. Ayurveda is the oldest form of medicine to mankind yet the most rejected. Astrology and Ayurveda go hand in hand. Both of them being the oldest and connected to our original Vedas.
The process of Ayurvedic medicine is indeed an extremely long process. People in this day and age want quick results. Everything has to be done fast and should be solved right away. However, that's not the case. If there is a root to the disease in your body which started long time ago or even before birth, then the process of getting better should also be long.
My father has been an Ayurved doctor for the past 40 years. He's treated cases that the Modern Medical Science has yet to even discover.
And there are definitely some cases that can't be treated. This can be due to someone's Karma which they must repent in this life or the next.
I guess what I'm trying to accomplish is if the world can accept it. Or maybe the world has already accepted it but not the US. In this country where I live, (US), people have completed ignored this method of medicine. I believe this is all a propaganda and they do not want people to get cured. This way, people keep taking medicine and the pharmacuetical companies keep making money.
Even some of the Ayurved medicines are being sold over the counter in the Indian stores but they are so expensive. Most of the ingredients in Ayurvedic medicine are from our Mother Earth and her soil. Then, why are we charging our own kind for this. I'm not saying we should give this free, but it shouldn't be so expensive.
What's funny is people can spend $250 on an ipad, ipod, etc, but not on medicine that can help them cure. They're answer is "Its too expensive."
Anyways, I would like to leave it at that. And I hope I can get some feedback on what others think about "Ayurveda"

To whom are you referring as Mr. Culpeper?
Yes, most certainly an intersting subject.
Would love to have my father share some ideas, suggestions, remedies. Though it is not a childsplay.
Let me know!

Dear Rajita,
You're absolutely right, you have to really trust the Ayurved practioner who is making the medicine. In my case, I have been fortunate to be born with a father with so much knowledge about Ayurveda, Vedas, Astrology, and Religious scriptural knowledge.
One has to be careful. But there are still some honest people out there.

Rajita,
He lives in the US. He came here in the 1980s and did a lot of research at the Universities as well as hospitals and came to the conclusion that America will never accept Ayurveda. This is partially due to business/health care system. The pharmacuetical companies spend billions of dollars on R&D so they in turn want profit. If there were a cure to even something as common as Diabetes, think about how much money they would be losing. In the US, they want people to rely on medicine. Its a propaganda.
He has treated complicated cases such as Cancer (various types), Kidney diseases (including Ch. Renal Failure), Heart Diseases (including heart blocks up to 40%), Joints, Neurological dieseases, eye ear, allergies, asthma, digestive disorders., are just a few to name.
Hope this helps,
Vidya

I'm very interested in Ayurveda. I've done some reading on my own, but I want to study more so I know if it's something I want to pursue further and really study.vidhyanine wrote:I guess what I'm trying to accomplish is if the world can accept it.

I think a lot of the reason why Ayurveda (or any natural form of healing) is not taken as seriously in the US is partly because people are taught to believe that they can't heal naturally, and also because people can practice different forms of natural medicine without having the amount of training and experience that is required of medical doctors (I have seen Ayurvedic "practitioners" in the US, but not Ayurvedic doctors).
In the past few years I have also seen the acceptance of natural forms of healing increase a lot- people are realizing that pills are not the only nor best way, and I've heard that insurance companies are now beginning to cover things like Acupuncture and aromatherapy (insurance is also a big issue- many people can't afford medical care without insurance, but insurance companies can be pretty limited about what they will cover).
Did your father study Ayurveda in India? Does he use Jyotish in combination with Ayurveda?
Ayurveda like Jyotish is a vedanga.The Arabs,Turks and the west (not USA) used to take Vaidyas from India learnt,adopted and used it.It contains herbs,metals,animals etc in preparing medicines.With advancement in medicine manufacturing,reasearch,testing their efficacy the present system of allopathy and surgery evolved.Both are part and parcel of evolution and it continues.50% of modern medicine is from Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is expensive as the companies make lot of profit similar to allopathy.It is a good business.Ethics don't work.
The only sufferers are those who do Ayurvedic medicine and are not treated on par with MBBS. Not recognised anywhere in the modern world.
This simply degrades it's practice and research.

Hello All,
I was not aware of the ayuvedic medicines available.. until Ramdev baba came..
No offense/bias to anyone..but he got a lot of publicity for this great Indian treasure.
and awareness as well..
From the very common use of aloevera,tulsi,turmeric,gourd to use of gomutra or even own urine, and animal dung... to miraculous properties and the use of very rare herbs and plants..Its such a great thing to even know..
I just discovered I have so many things in my own kitchen and garden...that I wasnt aware of.
The study is great and much more deep in its research field than allopathic or other medicine.
I have been interested in vedic literature..astrology and even ayurveda..but there are very few people here to guide us on the subject and very few sites to browse through..
Vidya,
If you can ,could you share with us the ayurvedic remedies ?..if you can/want to contribute via a new thread may be...This would be great.You are very lucky to have a gem at home learned in this field...n We all would be glad to learn something...
Ayurveda and Astrology are related,So I dont see we are devaiting from the topic.
There should be more posts on this.

Anushree

Dear Astrologers
There must be some planets that must be connected with Allopathy and some others that are connected to Ayurveda. I know of some who are totally averse to allopathy and have liking for Ayurveda, nature cure etc. My father had no liking for allopathy. It has too many side effects and this fact is well known. Also it suppresses the disease and does not cure it. I myself do not have liking for allopathy at all but it is unavoidable in some circumstances. For small problems like cough and cold, unless severe, I avoid allopathic medicines and wait for the nature to cure the same. In fact, there is a jovial saying which says, if u take medicine for cold, it cures in a week and if u dont, it takes 7 days to cure.
I feel budha seems to be associated with ayurveda for sure.
Astrologers may throw some light on this. Thanks.

Yaaaaaah !!!!!!!!!! Its very nice i like it,then i agree with you........Ann wrote:Hi
I have always had an interest in alternative medicine and am very interested in natural cures - perhaps your father could give us a few tips and remedies - we have something similar in Mr Culpeper who used astrology to cure. I think too many people want a quick fix - nine times out of ten it only treats the symptom and not the cause. Most interesting subject - thanks for bringing it up.
Anyone got any views on this.

I agree wholeheartedly about the US and lack of education in Ayurveda. I am interested in learning more and possibly becoming a doctor in Ayurveda, assuming a college will take my undergraduate credentials in genetic engineering. Can anyone recommend a US accepted college so that I can practice in the USA upon graduation? I seriously can't get enough information about this.
Hi!
Well, this is true that there are very few direct references to anything that would look like a psychology in the ancient treatises of Jyotish. But these texts were supposed to be learned by heart, and these references are actually implicit. Every term common to the vocabularies of Astrology, Ayurveda and Yoga cross-refer automatically to Ayurvedic or Yogic treatises, where psychology is, on the other hand, abundantly detailed.
Understanding the psyche is an essential condition prior to discovering the meaning of any event occurring in our life. Common sense leads us to think that psychology and destiny are indissociable. This indissoluble relationship is constantly manifesting in our life: we think about something, this thought becomes words, these words drive our acts, our acts draw our character, and our character ends up with determining what happens to us. Keeping this in mind, I think that it is perfectly possible to practice Vedic astrology in the prospect of a personal or transpersonal development, without necessarily coming to prediction.
Have a good day,

I totally agree with you. As jyotish practitioners, we tend to forget the connection between Vedic astrology and Ayurveda. Actually many believe that Vedic astrology deals mainly with prediction and not with psychology, inferring that the psychological applications only come from a modern evolution of astrology.anushree44 wrote:Ayurveda and Astrology are related,So I dont see we are devaiting from the topic.
