The current statements of Yoga Guru Swami Ramdev on allopathy have led to a lot criticism from the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and the left-liberal institution. The IMA has mentioned ugly issues about Ayurveda a number of instances and now they can’t take the criticism of allopathy when a Yoga Guru used the identical sort of language in opposition to it.When the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) notification authorised the post-graduate Ayurveda practitioners to be skilled to carry out normal surgical procedures, the IMA in its press launch, mentioned, “The entire modern medical profession of the nation feels betrayed by the level of violation and encroachment by the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM).”However, the bitter struggle between IMA and Swami Ramdev isn’t the entire level of debate on this article. The elementary query is why the West, which gave a complete department of drugs that stands on the placebo impact (Homeopathy), hates Ayurveda a lot.Ayurveda has its roots in Hinduism and the Vedic texts have very elaborate chapters on this science. The well-known practitioners of Ayurveda included – Dhanvantari, Sushen, Sushruta, and Patanjali who’ve contributed to human wellness by inventing Yoga, surgical procedure and so forth.The West is obsessive about the dissection of the human physique in addition to sickness after which performing the remedy. On the opposite hand, Ayurveda works as a preventive in addition to therapeutic science and it’s extra involved in regards to the finish outcome – human wellness. The Allopathic practitioners use chemical compounds to supply medication whereas Ayurveda makes use of a special mixture of pure components to deal with the sufferers.Today, the West is without doubt one of the largest markets for Ayurveda and Yoga, and the folks in Western nations are more and more adopting this method of human welfare. But the IMA, which sees a risk to its monopoly within the welfare market because of the adoption of Yoga and Ayurveda, is vehemently opposing this.The West all the time has had an issue with somebody asserting Hindu identification and issues like Yoga and Ayurveda are related to this identification. If somebody is asserting Graeco-Roman identification within the fashionable West, they’re thought of superior however on the identical time when the very best practices of the East are asserted, they increase questions. And the folks within the IMA, which is full of missionaries on the prime stage, help them in the identical.Dr JA Jayalal, the President of the IMA, additionally used crass language in opposition to Baba Ramdev, saying that the Yoga Guru ought to obtain two slaps for difficult Allopathy. For the uninitiated, he is identical man who needs to make use of medical institutes to unfold the “word of Christ” or in easy phrases, propagate Christianity in medical faculties, coaching centres and hospitals. Clearly, his enthusiastic assault on Ayurveda has roots in his spiritual biases.And what of Swami Ramdev’s questions? They must be addressed by the medical fraternity however on no account does it give the IMA the suitable to slander Ayurveda, an historic and revered system of drugs.Previously, whereas responding to IMA’s criticism of Ayurveda and its practitioners, the Chairman of the regulatory physique for Ayurveda, the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM), Vaidya Jayant Deopujari, mentioned that the objection by the IMA is nothing however simply “hypocrisy”.He mentioned, “95% ICUs are manned by Ayush practitioners, not just in Maharashtra or Gujarat, but across the country. It is the allopathy doctors who teach them everything about how to manage the ICU, insert a central line, give IV etc. Why do they do it? For them, to make money. Then these doctors go and sit in the Indian Medical Association and object to Ayush doctors being used. It is just hypocrisy.”In an interview with the Times of India, he additionally reiterated what Susruta talked about varied surgical procedures centuries in the past, and the way we simply must improve them with fashionable scientific development. He mentioned, “Sushruta mentions cataract removal but there was no lens to put in at that time. Now that lenses are available, why shouldn’t ayurvedic surgeons implant them? Phacoemulsification is just about buying a machine and getting trained to use it. We are allowed to incorporate advances in modern technology and advances in science to supplement the Indian system of medicine. This is mentioned in the new law passed, the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine Act, 2020. It was also mentioned in the 1970 Act, showing that this vision was clearly there right from the start.”The West and the IMA mustn’t attempt to destroy an entire department of drugs that has been historically practised in India and has been lengthy identified for its effectiveness, only for slim self-interest and must be broad-minded about accepting the traditional scientific data of Ayurveda.
