Acharya Manish: India Still Following Medical Laws Made by British

A renowned proponent of Ayurveda Acharya Manish who has been propagating Indias 5000yearold herbbased medicinal treatment protocol Ayurveda since 1997 has called for amendment or scrapping of what he calls two archaic amp antiAyurveda medical laws The laws under his lens are the 1897 Epidemic Act and the 1954 Magic Remedy Act It is noteworthy that Acharya Manish is the founder of the Ayurveda label Shuddhi which has its main center at Zirakpur near Chandigarh and over 150 branches across IndiaAcharya Manish said Unfortunately India is still living with a mindset that smacks of the British Colonial era Even today we are governed by laws like the 1897 Epidemic Act which the British made to subjugate Ayurveda and its practitioners the Vaids When the plague had affected the country in the 1890s the vaids easily treated it through their concoctions which the British couldnt digest as it was impacting allopathy and its spread in India It is because of this that they imposed the epidemic act in India and started registering cases against the vaids amp putting them behind barsAcharya Manish added The idea was to brand Ayurveda as an unscientific and backward medical method Under the garb of this act the British hatched a conspiracy to eliminate Ayurveda from India The epidemic act still exists and only promotes the use of allopathy This needs to change the act should be reviewed or scrapped so that Ayurveda gets an equal footing to allopathyEven the 1954 Magic Remedy Act has come under fire from Acharya Manish Despite having many effective treatments in Ayurveda that treat the root cause of an illness the Magic Remedy Act does not allow us to talk about these protocols An Ayurvedic practitioner cant speak freely on any disease while on the other hand allopathy undertakes huge endorsements of particular treatments and allopathic hospitals promote themselves in a big way There are many differences between systems followed under allopathy and Ayurveda While allopathy by and large works on symptomatic treatment Ayurveda tries to remove the disease from its sourceAcharya Manish informed that while allopathybased hospitals get patients due to the ease of passing medical bills through different insurance mechanisms its almost impossible to do so by Ayurvedabased hospitals and clinicsWhy is this stepmotherly treatment being meted out to Ayurveda in the country where Ayurveda was born asked Acharya ManishAcharya Manish explained that while in allopathy there are specialists for different parts of the body the human body is looked at holistically in AyurvedaAcharya Manish feels that the COVID era has brought Ayurveda back into the limelight Now is the right time to bring in newer legislation by amending or even scrapping the archaic lawsAcharya Manish summed up I and my team are planning to approach the judiciary for relief in this matter We will call for amending or scrapping of the retrograde laws which are acting as roadblocks in the growth of AyurvedahttpswwwacharyamanishcomhttpsshuddhicomCatch up on all the latest Crime National International and Hatke news here Also download the new midday Android and iOS apps to get latest updates MidDay is now on Telegram Click here to join our channel middayinfomedialtd and stay updated with the latest newsThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness reliability and data of the text Midday managementmiddaycom reserves the sole right to alter delete or remove without notice the content in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
