Make Kerala global hub of Ayurveda: Ravi

Kerala deserves to become the global hub of Ayurveda system of medicine in view of the State's inherent strength in the ancient Indian system of wellness, the Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs, Mr Vayalar Ravi, said on Friday.
Inaugurating six-day Global Ayurveda Festival here, Mr Ravi wanted both national and state governments to come forward to promote Ayurveda and traditional systems of medicines on a global scale.
“It is good to see that at last Keralites are coming up with new projects that would promote Ayurveda. It is also important that Kerala is giving greater attention to research in the Ayruveda stream of health care,” he said.
Ayurveda treatment focuses not just on curing diseases but lays emphasis on improving the lifestyle of the person coming for treatment.
The Kerala Agriculture Minister, Mr K.P. Mohanan, said Ayurveda was not a mere system of treating diseases but a science that paid attention to all aspects of life with the aim of maintaining the individual and societal health.
The event, organised by Ayurvedic fraternity with the support of the state and central government and health NGOs, was envisaged to bring together medical practitioners of the country, researchers, students, industry representatives and other stakeholders.
Renowned Ayurveda practitioner Ashta Vaidya Cheriya Narayana Namboothiri was honoured at the inaugural function by the Union Minister.
The Sri Lankan Minister, Mr Amarathunga, and the Health Secretary, Bandhula Gunanayage, and Indian Systems of Medicine Director Dr Anita Jacob were among those present at the function.
An Ayush clinic, which offers free consultation and services of expert doctors, has been opened for the general public as part of the event.
An Ayurveda medical exhibition with 350 stalls on various branches of Ayurveda on natural herbs, medicine production, endangered plants and animals, ancient surgical tools and techniques is a major attraction of the festival.
