Whole body treatment has become an imperative
The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the existing medical modalities in disarray. While anti-viral agents and vaccines are continuously sought after, there is no easy fix in handling the condition of the human body in a vast majority of COVID-19 infected patients. While current western medicines can only treat individual body parts (i.e. the lungs, the liver, the heart, the brain, etc.), medical evidence has made it clear that COVID-19 affects the whole body. Additionally, the concept of treating the whole body is outside the domain of western medicine due to the modality evolving from specialised to super specialised. Conversely, the holistic Indian Ayurvedic medicines, have practiced treating the whole body rather than treating symptomatic specific body parts, right from their inception. While the ability to accurately diagnose and treat symptomatically is absolutely vital and something that Western medicine has done successfully, the urgent need for treating the whole body, as posed by the current COVID-19 pandemic, makes an imperative case for the integration of holistic Ayurvedic and Western medicines to co-exist. Ultimately, this will allow patients to benefit immensely from a combination of both symptomatic and whole-body treatments—thus saving human lives across the world. Our inventions of Nano-Ayurvedic medicines, a deep integration of holistic and western medicine, through Green Nanotechnology, would provide lifesaving health care tools to the global population.
