Chennai: The Ayurveda industry, an ancient healthcare system, is fast adopting modern scientific tools and medical technologies keeping its original treatment procedures and theories intact.
Speaking at a virtual two day conference organised by the Kerala-headquartered
Ayurvedic firm, Vaidyaratnam Group, Dr Tanuja Nesari, Director of All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA) of New Delhi said,
‘With the prospects of a third wave of Covid-19 and its likely impact on children, practitioners of this traditional healthcare form are emphasising on more and more usage of modern technologies including MRI, CT Scan, ventilators, RT-PCR tests among others.’
‘The strength of Ayurveda is in prevention and if we are able to prevent our youngest population from getting infected by Covid, that’s a great achievement.’
Synergy between traditions supported by technology is the new normal that we have to take forward, she added.
