Ayurveda

Have we lost our way so much that we have really completely forgotten our reason for being on this Earth?

I came across this definition of health care while researching holistic health. It comes from an Indian health center called SOUKYA that specializes in their local treatment, Ayurveda. Have you ever heard a doctor of modern medicine talk about treatment in this way?

"The practice of ayurveda is designed to promote human happiness, health and creative growth. It is the science of daily living and this system of knowledge evolved from the sage's practical, philosophical and religious illumination which was rooted in their understanding of the creation. Ayurveda helps the healthy person to maintain health and the diseased person to regain health."

The quote came from the SOUKYA website: http://www.soukya.com/ayurveda.html and I have to say it is the best definition of health care I have ever heard.

I have had a problem for some time with Osteo-Arthritis and absolutely hate the medication I have to take, just to be able to function normally. I think often our treatment is worse than the disease itself. Ayurveda seems to hold some hope.
