Growing popularity of ayurveda in western countries

There is no doubt that the countries outside India have a better system and better medical facilities than India has. But it should also be noticed that people living today have unhealthy diet routines and are prone to diseases frequently and hence their immunity system isn’t really strong. Be it in India or the western countries. The drugs or chemical medicines we today procure do provide us instant relief but don’t go deep to the roots of the disease. They work on the above layer and cure the disease. Here lies the difference! Ayurveda goes deep inside the water and finds the root cause, or better say that it works not only on the upper layer but also inside. There is an urgent need for a medical practice that heals the body and keeps the other body parts undisturbed and also aims at bettering human lifestyle, soothes the mind, calms the soul and improves the immunity of the body. For this reason, the western countries are seeking the Ayurvedic ailment because it does not only treat the disease but helps in maintaining the natural balance of the body, the urgent need of the hour!

The basic reason for its popularity in the western states lays behind its approach i.e., it believes in the holistic healing and development of the body unlike other form of medicinal practices which limited only to the disease or the diseased part only. Because of the popularity in the Ayurveda, the demand for Ayurvedic herbal products has grown by 8%. Today the world is dealing with so many diseases which even though have medical cures, but leave behinds such effects that it disturbs the internal metabolism level.

For the imbalance caused due to the chemical or allopathic medicines or the western medicines, even though Ayurveda is based in India, it is spreading its wings across the globe. Ayurveda is just one solution one can adopt for the betterment of their body, mind and soul. The major reason why people are adopting it is that it does not leave behind any side effect.
