Right to health merely a myth without Ayurveda: Acharya Manish

Chandigarh: Renowned Ayurveda proponent & an Ayurveda Acharya Manish has unveiled a unique initiative - ‘Right to Health Campaign’. Acharya Manish has been propagating Ayurveda since 1997 & is also the founder of the Ayurveda wellness label 'Shuddhi Ayurveda', which has its corporate office at Zirakpur near Chandigarh. Acharya Manish formally announced the 'Right To Health' drive by holding a special unveiling of the campaign in a press meet held at Press Club here. The campaign's tagline has been innovatively coined as 'Ayurveda ko hai ab ghar ghar pahunchana! Ayurveda doctors Dr. Geetika Chaudhary & Dr. Suyash Pratap Singh were also present.
 
Acharya Manish believes that Ayurveda - a herb-based Indian medicinal system is a prerequisite to attain the objective of 'right to health' for every Indian.
Acharya Manish said, "'Charak Sanhita' says that the motive of Ayurveda is to keep a healthy body disease free and remove disease from roots in a diseased body. Ayurveda also means complete knowledge of life. So this is not just a medicinal protocol but a way to lead life. "
 
Acharya Manish further said, “'The 'right to health' is failing to be effective because of lack of awareness about Ayurveda's potency to contribute to 'holistic health'.  It is only Ayurveda that improves one's health to counter attacks by pathogens & this has been proven well by immunity boosting Ayurveda medicines being used during this the COVID pandemic. So it will not be wrong to say that  'right to health' is merely a myth without ayurveda."
Acharya Manish added, "We chose to time the start of campaign during the COVID era as Ayurveda has come into prominence during this unprecedented pandemic due to its  efficacy against COVID. The campaign is a tribute to India's herb based medicinal science. Under The 'Right To Health' initiative which will run for 6 months, we will generate awareness about the importance of Ayurveda & allied healing methods through media, focused events, and by initiating 'advocacy measures' with the central & different state governments. A social media campaign is also on the anvil. The ultimate aim will be to provide citizens'  'right to health' through Ayurveda."
 
Acharya Manish added,"Our Ayurveda label 'Shuddhi' means 'Purification' and all our well researched medicines approved by AYUSH also work on the principle of detoxification."
 
Acharya Manish is happy with certain developments like the decision of WHO to establish a traditional medicine center in India, nod given for specific surgeries to Ayurveda doctors etc however there's a lot to be done.  Under the campaign top government functionaries will be asked to establish an Ayurveda Board, and to make ayurveda the first line of treatment or at least provide it equal stature to allopathy to begin with.
