Centre in favour of locating global centre for traditional medicine in Hyderabad

The city is likely to have another jewel in its crown if the Central Government’s latest request relating to the setting up of a global centre for traditional medicine proposed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) is any indication.

Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of North East Region G. Kishan Reddy has requested the State Government to identify a suitable parcel of land for setting up the institute in the city. In a letter addressed to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, the Union Minister asked him to resolve the issues pertaining to identification of land and spot a parcel of land.

He said that the country is known for its traditional medicines, including Ayurveda, yoga, Unani, naturopathy, Sowa-Ripa and Siddha to name a few, which are recognised worldwide. The COVID pandemic had further highlighted the benefits of traditional medicine and demonstrated the power of Ayurveda to the world.

“India is regarded as the pharmacy of the world and focus on traditional medicine aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s emphasis on prevention of diseases and wellness,” he said. He recalled that the WHO director general had announced intentions of setting up a global centre for traditional medicine in India on the occasion of World Ayurveda Day in November 2020.

The Union AYUSH Ministry was considering setting up of the centre in Hyderabad as traditional scientific research institutions like CCMB, CSIR, NIN, IICT, and FDTRC would further complement the approach towards an integrated holistic medicine. The Government of Telangana had been communicated for their inputs on the extent of support for setting up of the global centre, he said, adding that the global centre would benefit the city and the State.

(Central News Agency reporter Lin Xingjian Dharamsala 28) A nurse gave the medicine stick to the doctor after grinding the heat, and the doctor then pressed the medicine stick on the patient's acupuncture points.
After several repetitive massage sessions, the patient said that the symptoms of joint pain were relieved.
This is the Tibetan Medical and Astro Institute, also known as Men-tsee-khang, in Dharamshala, northern India.
Thupten Tsering, executive director of the Tibetan Medical Calendar Institute, told a five-person media group that the principle of Tibetan medicine is to find the root cause of the disease and treat it, not just the pain.
Tudan Tsiren also stressed that the hospitals and clinics attached to the Tibetan Medical Calendar Institute provide traditional Tibetan medical services to patients, regardless of nationality and caste, with low fees, and self-produced natural herbs, which are not only used in hospitals and clinics, but also sold to foreign countries.
The history of the Tibetan Medical Academy dates back to 1916, when the 13th Dalai Lama was founded in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, and the 14th Dalai Lama, who fled to India, was rebuilt in Dharamshala in 1976 to care for Tibetan refugees who fled to India and promote traditional Tibetan medicine and calendar science.
The Tibetan Medical Calendar Academy in Dharamshala, which started with just one doctor, one calendar operator and 10 students, has produced more than 360 doctors, 58 clinics and three health centers in India, Nepal and Bhutan, and employs more than 700 people.
Another important department of the Tibetan Medical Calendar Institute, the Department of Calendar Computing, is responsible for compiling the Tibetan calendar, providing astrological consultation and recommending activities such as auspicious days.
Manash Bhuyan, a senior Indian journalist, attended the clinic on the spot and was surprised that the doctor could accurately diagnose his disease through the pulse, and he would continue to receive treatment with traditional Tibetan medicine.
The five-member media group recently visited the Tibetan Medical Calendar Institute at the invitation of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA).
The Central Tibetan Administration is the Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamshala.
Dharamshala is a place where exiled Tibetans live. It is known as "Little Lhasa".
According to Norzin Dolma, Information Minister of the Central Tibetan Administration, this mountain town is a political and cultural center for Tibetans in exile, and it has special significance for Tibetans because the Dalai Lama lives here. (Editor: Chen Chenggong) 1130428

Centre to document medicinal herbs of tribal communities across country

The union ministry of tribal affairs carried out the initiative in Kerala, Rajasthan, Maharashtra as well as in Uttarakhand

The Centre is working on documenting medicinal herbs and healers of the tribal communities across the country. A pilot from Uttarakhand has been completed, resulting in a five-volume book series of over 1,400 medicinal plants. The exercise, officials said, will be carried out in more states.

The union ministry of tribal affairs carried out the initiative in Kerala, Rajasthan, Maharashtra as well as in Uttarakhand. Apart from documenting the plant and healers, they also documented the Sanskrit names of these plants.

In Kerala, the Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham was given the responsibility, All India Institute of Medical Studies Jodhpur in Rajasthan, Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences Ahmedabad for Maharashtra, and Patanjali carried it out in Uttarakhand.

While the others are carrying it out, Patanjali’s series of seven tomes are ready. In the hill state three districts were chosen, which included Pithoragarh and Udham Singh Nagar, all phytodiversity was documented by a team of over 50-50 people over a period of two years.

When asked about the Sanskrit nomenclature, the official said that it was a way of directing attention to the functionality of the plant.

“The National Medicinal Plant Board says there are over 1,500 plants in Uttarakhand, many of which are not even documented. But in three districts alone, we found 900 plants,” a senior official of the ministry said. “Tribal medicine holds considerable interest among researchers.”

Chemical analysis of all these plants was carried out, to find the active ingredient in the plant, with the help of an HPLC machine, officials said. Apart from that, samples of these were preserved, along with data on their therapeutic use. The official said that permissions from the biodiversity board were also taken.

In addition to that, the Hyderabad-based National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) carried out a similar exercise in their areas where they found three medicinal plants, which when combined can be a cure for malaria. A similar exercise was carried out by the same team in the Rashtrapati Bhawan as well.

Healers in tribal communities in the areas that use these plants were also documented, along with data of their areas of expertise. In all, 750 healers were documented.

Officials said that after the successful pilot, the ministry has sent it to the AYUSH ministry, urging them to take it further across the country using SC/ST components from their funds. Officials also said that details of these plants will be put up online.

MLA urges Union AYUSH Miniser to sanction sports medicine centre for city

Union Minister for AYUSH Sarbanand Sonowal said here on Saturday that he will examine whether an AYUSH sports medicine centre can be sanctioned to Mangaluru.

Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the government’s AYUSH multi-speciality hospital on the premises of Government Wenlock Hospital, the Minister said that he will not make any promise of sanctioning the centre. But he will take the demand for such a centre positively.

Earlier, Mangaluru City South MLA D. Vedavyasa Kamath appealed to the Minister to sanction the centre.

Mr. Kamath said that Thrissur in Kerala had such a centre. Except for it the entire west coast belt did not have such a centre. Hence the coastal belt required one more centre.

In his address, the Minister stressed on the importance of the AYUSH system of medicine and the need to keep one’s fitness by practising yoga.

A hospital note said that the 50-bed AYUSH hospital sanctioned in 2016 has been built at a cost of ₹9 crore. The construction was completed in 2020.

It has OPD, pharmacy, laboratory, and treatment sections on the ground floor. The administrative section is on the first floor. The second floor has 20-bed general ward and five special wards with panchakarma women section. The third floor has five special wards, 20-bed general ward, and a modular operation theatre. The hospital has a diet kitchen and nutrition clinic.

The treatment modalities in ayurveda including panchakarma, leach therapy, kshrastura, and abhyanga are available. In naturopathy it covers hydrotherapy, accupuncture, accupresure, colour therapy, magnetic therapy, and physiotherapy.

In dialogue with great Ayurveda personalities / expert meeting at the 25th International Ayurveda Symposium in Birstein

by admin

Birstein – The International Ayurveda Symposium in Birstein (Hessen) is an annual highlight that every Ayurveda doctor, therapist and consultant should have on their agenda. From September 15th to 17th, 2023, doctors and professors of international renown will come together at the “European Academy for Ayurveda” to share their wealth of experience, this year for the 25th time in a row. Information at: www.ayurveda-symposium.org

The anniversary conference is filled with over 40 specialist lectures, workshops and panel discussions and stands for Ayurveda competence throughout Europe. Only here do the participants exchange ideas directly with the great personalities of Ayurveda and experience practical knowledge that is not found in any textbook.

For the 25th anniversary, the International Ayurveda Symposium takes up one of the major health issues of our time: strategies for the treatment and prevention of cancer. Research Director Vaidya P. Rammanohar (Amrita Center for Advanced Research in Ayurveda, Coimbatore) reports on how Ayurveda in integrative oncology can fill global unmet needs in cancer treatment. Prof. Dr. Tanuja Nesari, Director General of the Indian umbrella organization “All India Institute of Ayurveda” in Delhi, addresses phytotherapeutic approaches: Her lecture shows how traditional Ayurvedic medicinal herbs are used in complementary cancer therapy.

Ayurvedic therapists will appreciate the numerous workshops to supplement their practical skills. The focus here is on physical therapies, for example Kalari therapies from southern India or the combination of Ayurveda with osteopathic and chiropractic techniques. In addition, Hans H. Rhyner MD, pioneer of Ayurveda medicine in Europe, will pass on his very personal diagnostic methods from 40 years of practice to the next generation.

The focus on “Panchamabhuta – healing dimensions of the five elements” examines the influence of ether, air, fire, water and earth on our health. In particular, the connection to the five senses is the focus here, for example with the contribution of Dr. Mihir Hajarnavis (Tilak Ayurveda College, Pune) on the Indian tradition of eating with your hands, or treating hearing loss with oil baths (Karana Purana) by Prof. Sanjeev Sharma, Director of the National Institute of Ayurveda at the University of Jaipur.

The program is framed by the special flair on the campus of the European Academy for Ayurveda. Indian robes set accents in the stylish rooms, the lecturers give confidential insights into their careers at the fireplace evening – and scents from the Ayurveda gourmet kitchen float above everything, which brings the “five elements” closer to the participants in a culinary way.

In 2023, the symposium will only take place live and on site.
The opening event on Friday is open to all interested parties free of charge and will also honor the 30th anniversary of the academy with a ceremony. The alumni meeting with Gurukul is also free. SN Gupta, Vice-Chancellor Maganbhai Adenwala Mahagujarat University (Nadiad), will give professional and personal inspiration to former and current students at the “European Academy of Ayurveda”.

Date: September 15-17, 2023
Weekend ticket: €320 (€275 for alumni, students and DÄGAM/VEAT members)
Program and registration: www.ayurveda-symposium.org

About the European Academy for Ayurveda
Since 1993, the academy has followed its vision of bringing people into contact with traditional medicine from India. The founders Mark and Kerstin Rosenberg have created a place in Birstein where participants can learn and experience Ayurveda in all its facets: A modern educational facility has been created around a historic forester’s lodge in Vogelsberg (Hesse), with locations in Austria and Switzerland as well as a digital eAcademy. Close cooperation with Indian universities and institutions connect the academy with the source of Ayurvedic knowledge and ensure the quality of the educational offerings, as well as certification according to ISO 9001. A lively Ayurveda spa center borders directly on the campus. In this way, teaching and applied therapy go hand in hand – unique in Europe.

What is the traditional Indian medical system called?

Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary, a neurologist and Ayurvedic practitioner, has developed Prajna Ayurveda herbals with Healthy Directions, which combine traditional Ayurvedic practices with modern-day science.

Content: Healthy Directions Partners with Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary to Combine the Tradition Of Ayurvedic Practice with Modern-Day Science

Bethesda, Maryland, UNITED STATES

BETHESDA, M.d., March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In Ayurvedic medicine, the body, mind and spirit are treated using a holistic approach. Part of the practice is the use of essential herbs that have been revered for millennia, and are now supported by a growing body of scientific evidence. This pairing of traditional use with clinical science creates uniquely modern Ayurvedic blends that can serve as a bridge to a new world of health and vitality. This is the motivation for neurologist and Ayurvedic practitioner, Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary’s development of Prajna Ayurveda herbals with Healthy Directions, which she says have a remarkable ability to reset and restore the body and mind.

Integrating traditional Ayurvedic practices and modern-day science has been Chaudhary’s method for decades and has helped her successfully restore thousands of patients back to health, as well as transform her own health. Partnering with Healthy Directions, an established 30-year-old manufacturer and marketer of doctor-formulated nutritional supplements, has empowered Chaudhary to develop herbal formulas made with powder from the whole plant, as it has been used for thousands of years, along with powerful extracts of the plant that have been clinically researched for specific health benefits.

“What impresses me about Healthy Directions is how well developed they are as a company in terms of the mind and the heart, and particularly the heart,” said Chaudhary. “The heart is the source of all healing in Ayurveda, so for me, it was so important to make a decision to partner with people who I know are heart-centered, and who really care about their customers.”

The literal meaning of Prajna (Praw-g-ńa) is “transcendental wisdom,” which in Ayurveda refers to the peace and balance that comes from being fully present in your body and mind. Chaudhary says it is the ultimate expression of wellness. There are four essential herbs that make up the foundation of all the Prajna Ayurveda formulas. These herbs are among Ayurveda's most trusted herbal medicines, that Chaudhary says can bring about transformational shifts in your physical health and overall well-being:

  • Prajna® Triphala is taken at night to cleanse and “sweep” the day away. This lesser-known herb has been traditionally used to support digestion and elimination, while also nourishing both mind and body for the day ahead.
  • Prajna® Ashwagandha is a popular “multi-tasker” herb that brings daily harmony, calm, and positivity by helping balance hormones and reducing levels of cortisol—the body’s primary stress hormone.
  • Prajna® Brahmi has been used by Ayurvedic practitioners for centuries as a tonic for overall mind and memory support as well as for its calming effects on the nervous system.
  • Prajna® Guggul is a purifying Ayurvedic herb traditionally used for its cleansing effects and to support a healthy inflammatory response and cholesterol health.

The Prajna Ayurveda herbs by Healthy Directions are responsibly sourced in India, blended traditionally, produced in vegan capsules, triple-tested to assure quality, purity and potency and contain no hidden allergens such as gluten, dairy, egg or soy. Each affordably priced product is balanced for use by all three Ayurvedic mind-body dosha types, and incorporates Ayurvedic healing practices of sound medicine and sacred geometry. As part of the Prajna Ayurveda product line, Chaudhary has also developed the Veda Wellness products that uses essential Ayurvedic herbs with clinically-studied ingredients for modern-day health concerns, including: Veda Rescue, Veda Lean, Veda Balance Brain and Veda Balance Gut to target specific health concerns.

The researchers claimed that that high-risk COVID-19 patients undergo severe anxiety, which may further deteriorate their condition. They further suggest that in addition to the treatment for COVID-19, Yoga and Ayurveda maybe instrumental in relieving such patients from anxiety and aid in speedy post-treatment recovery.

The findings of the study have appeared in the Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge. The research team consists of Dr Sumitra A Bentur, Private practitioner, Greater Noida (West), Uttar Pradesh, Dr Alka Mishra, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar, Uttarakhand; Dr Yogish Kumar, Advait Clinic, Delhi, Dr Sonika Thakral, IIT Delhi, Sanjiv, IIT Delhi and Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, University of Delhi, Prof Rahul Garg, IIT Delhi.

As per the institute, the patients were prescribed Ayurvedic medicines through telemedicine, and administered a personalized therapeutic yoga programme using video conferencing. Almost all the patients were classified as high-risk owing to one or more of co-morbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease (which are known to lead to severe outcomes in cases of COVID-19), and/or age above 60, said IIT Delhi.

“The treatment given to the patients was personalized (in accordance with the classical texts) and took account of each patient’s medical history and the symptoms presented, which made it more effective as compared to a fixed standardized treatment plan," said the IIT.

The treatment included ayurvedic medicines, daily yoga-sessions including deep relaxation techniques, pranayama and basic asanas and some lifestyle modifications. Based on the administered treatment, the cases were categorized into YAS (Yoga-Ayurveda based treatment, with possibly allopathic supplements: 4 patients), YASP (Yoga-Ayurveda based treatment, with possibly allopathic supplements and paracetamol: 6 patients), YAM (Yoga-Ayurveda based treatment, and Modern Western Medicine (MWM), that is, allopathy as adjunct: 6 patients), MYA (first tried MWM, later switched to Yoga-Ayurveda: 14 patients). added the institute.

The patients, most of whom presented with many symptoms prior to the yoga and Ayurveda treatment, were followed-up telephonically regularly until recovery. More than half of symptomatic patients started improving within 5 days (90 per cent within 9 days), more than 60 per cent reported at least 90 per cent recovery within 10 days, added IIT Delhi.

Six patients with oxygen saturation (SpO2) below 95 per cent, benefited through Makarasana and Shithilasana; none progressed to composite endpoints (consisting of admission to Intensive Care Unit, invasive ventilation or death). Considering that approximately 19.3 per cent of the patients with these comorbidities progress to composite end points, the p-value was found to be 7.21 x 10−3.

“The study also demonstrates an urgent need to scientifically examine the Traditional Indian Knowledge systems at the top academic institutions. A timely and suitably designed randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of Ayurveda and Yoga based personalized integrative treatment for COVID-19 would have equipped the people with much more credible and dependable information about their use in managing COVID-19" said Prof Rahul Garg, IIT Delhi, who conceptualized the project.

“Most patients reported that the therapy had a profound impact on their recovery process, with many experiencing improvements with respect to their comorbidities too. By the end of the treatment, several patients had decided to adopt Yoga in their lifestyle, and several turned to the Ayurveda doctors in the team for management/treatment of their comorbidities", said Dr Sonika Thakral who coordinated with the patients for routine follow-up.

“On the whole, the belief of the patients in the efficacy of these traditional systems of medicine was extremely enhanced," said Dr Alka Mishra who administered Ayurveda treatment to some patients. “We are observing an increasing trend towards ancient systems of medicine", said Dr Yogesh Kumar who also administered Ayurveda treatment to some patients.

“The said interventions are believed to have collectively accelerated the recovery process by checking anxiety, instilling peace of mind and enhancing the overall well-being of the patients," said Dr Sumitra A Bentur, private practitioner, who designed the Yoga intervention and conducted Yoga sessions for some of the patients.

India's rich heritage of traditional form of medicine has withstood the test of time and the government has been working towards scientifically integrating it with modern medicine, Union Ayush Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said on Wednesday.

The Regional Review meeting of National Ayush Mission was ceremonially inaugurated by him along with his deputy Munjpara Mahendrabhai.

During the meeting, representatives of all participating states and Union territories presented detailed presentations on the state of Ayush and progress of leading Ayush programmes under implementation.

Speaking on the occasion, Sonowal said, "Our rich heritage and potential of traditional form of medicine has withstood the test of time in generations of humanity to live a better, healthier and happier life. We must take full advantage of this generous forms of medicine - be it Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Yoga, Naturopathy, Sowa Rigpa, or Homoeopathy."

He also said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government has been working towards scientifically integrating traditional forms of medicine with the modern medicine.

Highlighting the utility of Ayush system of medicine, he further said that it has some robust programmes like Ayurvidya for promotion of healthy lifestyle through Ayush for school children, Supraja for maternal and neonatal intervention, Vayomitra for geriatric issues; prevention and management of Osteoarthritis and other musculo-skeletal disorders, and Ayush mobile medical units.

The ministry is working on operationalisation of 12,500 Ayush health and wellness centres through the support of state and Union territory governments under the National Ayush Mission (NAM) by 2023-24, Sonowal said.

The ministry of Ayush has so far released Rs 719.70 crore to southern states and Union territories - Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and Telangana - under NAM since 2014-15, he said, adding it has also supported 17 Integrated Ayush hospitals in the southern states and out of that six are operational as reported by them.

Mahendrabhai stressed on the need to emphasise on outcomes as a more meaningful measure of programme value than output.

"We may have to realign our strategies and techniques to plan, execute and report our performance that facilitates measure of outcomes," the minister of state for Ayush said.

NAM is being implemented with the vision and objectives to provide Ayush health care services throughout the country by strengthening and improving facilities, to provide informed choice to the needy public.

Take up pilot project on Ayurveda treatment: MLA Ramdas

August 29, 2022

Mysore/Mysuru: Studies conducted across the world have found that several traditional medicines commonly used in India as part of Ayurveda are effective in maintaining blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Ayurveda is a traditional medical system that has been used for thousands of years in India and some of the herbs included are also used in other parts of the world. In this direction, a systematic project must be developed to treat diabetes, suggested MLA S.A. Ramdas. The suggestion was accepted by Ayurveda practitioners and experts in the field.

The MLA was speaking after inaugurating a free Ayurvedic treatment camp organised at the Sri Ganapathy Ashram on Nanjangud Road yesterday. The camp was organised inside the auditorium of Lakshminarasimha Kuteera of the Ashram by the Government Ayurvedic Research Centre and Ayurveda Academy of Chamarajpet in Bengaluru.

Ramdas suggested the doctors and officers launch a pilot project in a particular locality or a Ward and assured of making all facilities on behalf of the Government. He said that the project can be taken up on Sept. 17, the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for one year to achieve tangible results for the target population, he suggested.

Modern diabetes drugs are known for side effects and toxicity while Ayurveda works by controlling blood sugar and limiting the harmful effects of other drugs. Turmeric, for example, has been used for the treatment of diabetes in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, he added.

He said new Ayurvedic remedies were still in great demand for treating diabetes because of the limited efficacy and undesirable side effects of current drugs. A multi-pronged and individualised approach must be used to manage health conditions such as lifestyle modification, Ayurvedic detoxifying and purifying therapies and Ayurvedic medicines containing plant, animal, or mineral-origin ingredients, he added.

University of Mysore Vice-Chancellor Prof. G. Hemantha Kumar, Assistant Director of Government Ayurvedic Research Centre Dr. Lakshminarayana Shenoy, Joint Secretary of Ayurveda Academy Dr. Prashanth Ghokale, Junior pontiff of Ganapathy Ashram Datta Vijayananda Theertha Swamiji and others were present.

New Delhi : The nation today got three National Ayush Institutes of eminence in Ayurveda, Homoeopathy and Unani. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today virtually inaugurated All India Institute of Ayurveda in Goa, National Institute of Unani Medicine in Ghaziabad, and National Institute of Homoeopathy at Delhi from Goa.

The Prime Minister was participating in the valedictory ceremony of the 9th World Ayurveda Congress (WAC) at Panjim, Goa. The four days deliberation at 9th WAC provided a global platform for national and global stakeholders, industry leaders, practitioners, traditional healers, educationists, and manufacturers for engaging in intellectual exchange to strengthen the Ayurveda sector.

The valedictory ceremony was attended by Shri P. S Sreedharan Pillai, Governor of Goa, Shri Pramod Sawant, Chief Minister, Goa, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Union Cabinet Minister of Ayush and Ports, Shipping & Waterways and Dr. Munjpara Mahendrabhai, Minister of State for Ayush and Women & Child Development. Shripad Yesso Naik, Minister of State for Tourism and Ports, Shipping and Waterways and President, Vijnana Bharati and others were also present.

Addressing the gathering Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, said, “We need to continuously work toward the documentation of ‘Data Based Evidence’, we had Ayurveda’s results as well as effects in our favour, but we were lagging behind in terms of evidence. He emphasized that our medical data, research, and journals have to be brought together to verify every claim on modern scientific parameters.”

He added that more than 30 countries have recognized Ayurveda as a traditional medicine system and we have to further promote Ayurveda in every country of the world. PM emphasized that Ayurveda is not just about treatment, it also promotes wellness. The world is now returning to our traditional medicine and Yoga and Ayurveda are the new hope for the world.

On this occasion, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal said, “Ayush Ministry is committed to imparting Ayush health systems into day to day life of the common man by strengthening systems in Health as well as the Education sectors to the people of India. We want Ayush system to become a part of every household not only in India but globally and are trying our best to fulfill dream of Heal in India.”

The Ayush Minister further added, “with the rapid strides in the Ayush sector, in India’s Azadi ka Amrit Kaal, I firmly believe that under the guidance of PM Shri Narendra Modi, it will certainly be ‘Ayush Ka Amrit Kaal’.

Shri Vijay Kumar Saxena, Lt. Governor, Govt of NCT was the chief guest at National Institute of Homoeopathy (NIH), Delhi. It is a first of its kind to be established in Northern India for developing the Homoeopathic system of medicine. General (Retd) V.K.

The Union government has sought to include Ayurveda and related systems in the 11th revision of the World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD).

Content: Traditional Indian medicine set to make a global debut, seeking inclusion in WHO’s ICD-11 list

The inclusion of Ayurveda and related systems on the WHO list will provide it with a common language that allows health professionals to share standardised information across the world

October 14, 2023 06:17 pm | Updated 06:17 pm IST - NEW DELHI

A view of the World Health Organisation headquarters.

In a move meant to put the Indian system of medicine on the world map and provide it with a common standardised language, the Union government has sought for Ayurveda and related systems to be included in the 11th revision of the World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD), as the second module of a supplementary chapter on traditional medicine conditions.

The ICD provides a common language that allows health professionals to share standardised information across the world. The traditional medicine module of the 11th revision provides a list of diagnostics categories to collect and report on traditional medicine conditions in a standardised and internationally comparable manner.

Speaking exclusively to The Hindu about the development, Ministry of Ayush Secretary Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha said: “We are hopeful that the addition of Module-2 for Ayurveda could happen as early as by next January.”

To aid regulation, research

“Ayurveda and related Indian traditional health care systems are formally recognised and widely practised health care systems in India, which is making a strong and valid point for its inclusion,” said Mr. Kotecha, adding that efforts to effectively regulate traditional medicine as an integral part of the health system require standardised and evidence-based information.

Mr. Kotecha further explained that the traditional medicine chapter under ICD-11 is a formative step for the integration of such forms of medicine into a classification standard used in conventional medicine. “It also provides the means for doing research and evaluation to establish its efficacy,” he said.

The Ministry added that this chapter would also help to respond to growing demands for more and better regulation of traditional medicine, and its integration in mainstream health care and health information systems.

ICD-11 covers Chinese medicine

After a decade of repeated consultations, ICD-11 had facilitated the inclusion of Module-1, which covers traditional medicine conditions originating in ancient China, which are now commonly used in China, Japan, Korea, and elsewhere around the world.

The eleventh revision contains around 17,000 unique codes and more than 1,20,000 codable terms, which are now entirely digital. ICD-11 came into effect from January 2022.

The joint use of ICD-11’s chapter on traditional medicine along with other chapters on neoplasm, patient safety, and injuries, can enhance the reporting of adverse events. It will enable the integration of traditional medicine into insurance coverage and reimbursement systems, in line with larger WHO objectives relating to universal health coverage. It will also link traditional medicine practices with global conventional medicine’s norms and standard development.

The development of Module-2 for Ayurveda-related diagnostic systems is being actively supported by the Ministry of Ayush. It extensively banks on the implementation experience gained on the ground by the National Ayush Morbidity and Standardised Terminologies Electronic portal, and the Ayush Health Information Management System, the Ministry said.

Some herbs are used to treat chronic diseases such as diabetes, with special mixtures available for this condition.

After the drug crisis.
Did the Lebanese turn to alternative medicine?
CAIRO (Reuters) - Since 2020, the Lebanese have been suffering from the crisis of cutting off medicines from pharmacies, and the search for medicines has become a daily habit, despite the decision of the Lebanese Minister of Health, Hamad Hassan, to lift subsidies on medicines that cost less than 12,000 pounds.
The Minister of Health kept the prices of medicines for chronic and incurable diseases, children ’ s milk, vaccines and psychological and neurological diseases, to increase the prices of most medicines between 4 and 6 times.
The nightmare of Lebanese lives has increased as the Lebanese Pharmaceutical Importers Syndicate warned a few days ago of a potentially catastrophic shortage of essential medicines amid the country ’ s ongoing economic crisis.
The syndicate said that imports have been almost completely stopped for a month, but as is known, the Lebanese are always looking for an alternative, has he returned with this crisis to knocking on the doors of perfumers, and treatment by herbs and natural formulations?
Kamal said Omar Houla, about 30%, in the perfume shop "Mecca", which he runs, attributing this to "not only the loss of medicines from pharmacies, but also the high price."
As for the most sought herbs, he said: "Those related to the treatment of depression, they are at the top of the list, as well as herbs for chronic diseases such as diabetes, pressure and cholesterol prevalent among the Lebanese, where there are special mixtures for each of them," stressing that "we have nothing to do with heart disease at all and very young children."
On the preventive herbs, Omar, who studied as "therapeutic nutrition and Chinese medicine", explained that these herbs are very important for the prevention of diseases, especially the calgan plant and the Indian premium. "
On the effectiveness of herbs on human health, he said: "Certainly replace ordinary drugs and more, but after the availability of two conditions, the patient's faith in this treatment, and perseverance," stressing that "herbs do not show side problems when taken unlike chemical drugs."
For his part, Attar Kamal Yahya Shehal, who inherited the profession father by grandfather, since 4 grandparents, and has 3 branches in northern Lebanon, including in the old market of Attarine, that "this profession was originally a refuge for people to be treated, but today medicine has advanced a lot, and there is a specialization for every disease."
He explained: "Herbs do not replace medicine in many cases, if a patient suffers from a large rise in blood pressure can not be prescribed herb, but he needs a hospital, but if the rise in pressure is simple can take some herbs such as basil for example to help reduce pressure."
He advised to see the doctor and consult him.
On the role of herbs, he continued: "It is often preventive and needs a long time, that is, it is not for the treatment of emergency cases, but is considered a dietary supplement," he continued, asking: "What can herbs do if a person, for example, suffers from appendicitis or more severe?", pointing out that "some people make mistakes when they think that herbs replace medicine."
As for the herbs required today, he said: "Those for strengthening immunity such as black seed, as well as the original honey is very useful for immunity, and there is a mixture of herbs such as chamomile blossom and marshmallow beneficial for the chest and cough, and propolis bees for inflammation."
As for whether he fears for his profession of extinction, he said: "Everything in life progresses and develops and we must keep pace with scientific progress, so I directed my children to the correct scientific path of the profession, I have a son who graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy, and a son who graduated from the Faculty of Medicine specializing in hematology."
He concluded by stressing: "As for herbs, the patient must deal with them with caution because they may be suitable for some and harmful at the same time for others, and behind the non-specialists, which may cause more harm than benefit."
As for the Lebanese opinion of the alternative option, Fada al-Shami, 35, an employee of a clothing store, said that "the herbs were used by our ancestors and had a very positive effect, but because of the development of medicine, it was natural to turn to the world of medicines for the speed of its result."
She added: "In light of the economic crisis and the crisis of medicine that we suffer from in Lebanon, we returned to alternative treatment for many uses, including stomach and chest pains," explaining: "We have perfume shops in Tripoli with competent, they offer us distinctive mixtures that we feel benefit from, even if the treatment takes time to show the result."
Sherine Ghalaini (32 years old, housewife and mother of three) considered that "the crisis that Lebanon is going through has led some to resort to herbs without scientific studies proving its effectiveness, especially with regard to chronic diseases such as sugar and pressure, and whether it has side effects, as some patients resort to it because of the lack of basic drugs, as the sick saying is related to air ropes."

New Delhi India, November 1 HealthRoots, a leader in bringing rare international herbs in the Indian market, has launched its two flagship herbal products to prevent headaches, increase endurance, and reduce tiredness and stress.

New Delhi (India), November 1: HealthRoots, a leader in bringing rare international herbs in the Indian market, has launched its two flagship herbal products to prevent headaches, increase endurance, and reduce tiredness and stress. The company stated that Migoherb, a highly purified version of the herb Butterburr, has been launched to prevent headaches, and the Siberian Plant Rhodiola herb 'Redrive Am' has been launched to prevent headaches, increase endurance, and reduce tiredness and stress. When environmental pollution is at its peak and medical science is rapidly growing, innovation and care are hand-in-hand. Necessities give rise to inventions, and crises give rise to opportunities, as happened with the Doctor who founded HealthRoots. ''I am a doctor by profession and also a patient of frequent severe migraine headaches,'' Healthroots' founder Dr.Singla explained. ''Extreme migraines were frustrating since there seemed to be no way to stop them. One day, though, an American physician suggested trying herbal medicine in an effort to put an end to these migraines. I took the prescribed medications with some trepidation, but they actually helped me get control of the migraine. Talking about it with my other close friends and family reinforced my interest in the natural realm. Consequently, a group of field experts conceptualised and brought the brand to life.'' Team Healthroots' incredible successes have been made possible by their persistent efforts and resolve to deliver the greatest outcomes while preserving environmental harmony. They thoroughly inspect each and every ingredient to ensure that a user receives everything required to solve their issue at prices that are competitive with those of competing drugs. They hope to treat many additional illnesses using Ayurvedic remedies eventually. Healthroots now offers a drug called Redrive Am, which is derived from the Rhodiola plant, at a time when stress is a major contributing reason to a variety of health problems. Their primary focus is on the treatment of conditions like migraine headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and irritable bowel syndrome. Over the course of many years, the medical professionals at Healthroots have dedicated countless hours to learning everything they can about the efficacy of herbs in treating a wide range of chronic diseases. Several books were reviewed as part of their investigation into the best herbal formulas in use around the world and how to bring them to India.

Researchers claim 400 medicinal plants have anti-diabetic properties

X

New Delhi: As a part of its initiatives to reduce the diabetic burden, the scientists have emphasised on exploring the anti-diabetic properties of around 400 medicinal plants to be used in making medicines based on ayurvedic formulations to control type-2 diabetes by reducing sugar level in blood.

According to the researchers from Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry and All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Kalyani, as of now, there are 21 herbal plants, including Vijayasar, Jamun, Cumin, Daruharidra, little gourd, bael, fenugreek, neem, amla, turmeric that have been found to have prominent anti-hyperglycemic action.

Stressing that diabetes cure lies in the nature, the researchers asserted that intensive studies have been done on 21 herbs and in-depth research on at least 400 herbal plants is needed to exhibit their anti-diabetic properties..

As per their research paper, which is published in the World Journal of Diabetes, these medicinal plants have been the basis of many drugs to manage diabetes. The researchers have also cited the example of BGR-34, a herbal formulation developed by the

Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), which has been used to manage diabetes.

The herbal drug BGR-34 contains not one, but many active compounds derived from four medicinal herbs daruharidra, gudmar, methi and vijayasar. Apart from this, giloe and majeeth have also been added to increase immunity as well as antioxidants levels, said Dr Sanchit Sharma, executive director, AIMIL Pharmaceuticals.

The study titled “Treatment on Nature’s lap: Use of Herbal Products in the Management of Hyperglycemia” stated

that although partial research conducted on eight plants, including pomegranate, shilajit, bean, tea, ginkgo biloba, and saffron demonstrate anti-diabetic properties,

it emphasised the need for further trials.

A recent study conducted by AIIMS Delhi revealed that BGR-34, an Ayurvedic medicine, not only helps in reducing sugar levels but also addresses obesity.

The researchers also noted that several allopathic drugs used in diabetes management have their origins in herbal remedies.

For instance, metformin, a widely prescribed medication, is derived from the Galega officinalis plant, which

was historically used to treat diabetes in 19th century Europe.

Long Covid cure? Researchers to trial traditional Indian herb treatment

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine will work with the All India Institute of Ayurveda to determine whether a traditional Indian herb can help people recover from long Covid.

Ashwagandha, commonly known as Indian winter cherry, is traditionally used in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine to boost energy, reduce stress and strengthen the immune system.

Experts said recent trials had proven the herb’s efficacy in reducing anxiety, stress, improving muscle strength and reducing fatigue symptoms in patients with chronic diseases.

Long Covid patients can suffer from cognitive dysfunction, poor mental health, extreme fatigue and muscle weakness.

It is estimated these symptoms affect 10 to 20 per cent of Covid survivors and can last for one to three months or longer in many cases.

The study, funded by the Ministry of Ayush of the Government of India, will include a double-blind clinical trial involving 2,000 people living in the UK with long Covid.

Half of the trial participants will take 500mg Ashwagandha tablets twice a day for three months, while the other half will be given a placebo.

Researchers will randomly select participants to have a monthly follow-up of self-reported quality of life, impairment to activities of daily living, mental and physical health symptoms, supplement use and adverse events.

The study is expected to last for over a year.

“Ashwagandha has been shown to reduce symptoms of other conditions that are similar to those of long Covid, so we are hopeful that it will be an effective way to combat the condition,” said Sanjay Kinra, professor in clinical epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

The research is also supported by the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Indian Traditional Sciences and the Traditional Complementary and Integrative Medicine Unit at the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Research is the only way to ensure appropriate integration of traditional medicine knowledge into mainstream medical practice,” said technical officer at WHO Geneva, Geetha Krishnan, who helped to facilitate the research project.

Content: Russian Flag Painted on Copenhagen's Most Famous Landmark

It's the latest in a long line of attacks on Little Mermaid statue
By Rob Quinn,  Newser Staff
Posted Mar 2, 2023 10:15 AM CST

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.

An AFP correspondent reported that the Russian flag was painted under unknown circumstances on the stone above which a statue of the Little Mermaid, inspired by the heroine of one of the stories of the writer Hans Christian Andersen, was installed.
Danish police said they were launching an investigation into the incident, without giving any indication of the source of the move, which shows clear support for Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
A Copenhagen police spokesman told AFP: "We are investigating the area in order to find any evidence."
A small number of tourists in the area took pictures of the statue in the port of Copenhagen, which was vandalized on Thursday morning.
The Little Mermaid statue on a largely unfrequented promenade has been targeted several times since it was installed in 1913.
In 1964, the head of the nymph was stolen for the first time without being recovered.
In 1998, a group of vandals cut off the head of the statue again, but it was later restored.
This monument was exposed to the explosion in 2003.
The statue, created by Danish sculptor Edvard Eriksen, has also been targeted several times with graffiti or graffiti, most recently in 2020 with the inscription “racist fish ”.

The statue's arm was severed in 1984.

It's the latest in a long line of attacks on Little Mermaid statue

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.
