Ayurveda (Ancient Medical Science of India) plays an important part in connecting other countries to India. This spiritual knowledge was one of the most valuable treasures of ancient Indians and till today continues to show its miracles. Ayurvedic medicines have proved highly effective for more than 3000 years now and still do not cease to reveal its powers.


People from other cultures are deeply attracted to this oldest system of medicines that India holds, as it heals effectively without side effects.


Some who are still strangers to this most developed and ancient science of herbal medicines may find this method outdated and not applicable to today’s world. This may be because they still consider Ayurveda to be only a traditional approach but most countries have realized the necessity of adding this spiritual approach to therapy.


I feel that Ayurveda is needed more than ever now as today’s world is brimming with stress and self-destruction. Ayurveda is required to relieve the tensions and effects of today’s society on peoples’ daily lives. Ayurveda can be a powerful instrument in healing this world… There are two levels of healing in Ayurveda- the physical and the mental. The physical healing is through herbs and the mental and psychological level is through ‘mantras’ and meditation. Aroma therapy and herbal oils also branch out of Ayurveda and calm one’s mind. They are now commonly used in spas in other countries as well.


Meditation maintains the balance of peace in one’s life and attitudes towards things… The world outside India too is realizing that Ayurveda is definitely a necessity to cure emotional imbalances followed by or accompanying physical ailments. By adopting Ayurveda, other countries have started relating more to India and are now connecting more to each other too ,because of which a global culture is emerging. The world of ‘Yoga’ and ‘Ayurveda’ are uniting people of various cultures to form a unique culture of it own that transcends everything.


Ayurveda may have originated in India but in the contemporary world too, it has formed its place in everyone’s hearts irrespective of their differences in cultures. We must transcend cultures, and countries must share such divine healing knowledge. India has shown the power of sealing the cracks of cross-cultural differences around the globe by uniting people through its gifts of 'Yoga' and 'Ayurveda'. Such sharing of knowledge can only save humanity and remove barriers between countries and people.
