The health and wellness industry is seeing a surge of interest, as many people are trying to discover wellness and health protocols rather than quick treatment for their diseases. The naturopathic system aims to push us to slow down our busy lives. Look at where we are and what our body needs; look for systems and a rhythm that are suitable to us.
The government will give more emphasis to systems of Indian medicine including naturopathy, ayurveda, homoeopathy, Yoga and other ancient traditional medical practices stated Minister of health and family welfare, Karnataka.
The problem is a lack of doctors, a shortage that is reaching crucial levels as India becomes the world's most populous nation. India's doctor-to-patient ratio hit a record high of 1.2 doctors per 1,000 patients in 1991, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), but as its population surged, the ratio dropped to about 0.7 in 2020. The WHO recommended level is 1 and China, with a comparable population to India, is at 2.4.
The amount was approved at a meeting of the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) department in March. The money will be used to fund the UP State Ayush Society Action plan under which rejuvenation of the entire infrastructure of Ayush Health and Wellness Centres of the state will be taken up.
All government AYUSH institutions, private AYUSH hospitals having National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) certificates and entry-level NABH certificates will get empanelled under this policy.

Only 300 of around 65,000 COVID-19 patients who used Ayurvedic formulations needed hospitalisation and none of them died due to the pandemic, a top official of the Union Ministry of Ayush said here on Friday. Rajesh Kotecha, Secretary of Ayush Ministry, was speaking at the session on 'National Ayush Research Consortium' in the 9th World Ayurveda Congress and Expo 2022 underway here.
It is important to address memory issues in the elderly amidst the growing burden of hypertension and obesity. "A third of all elders start to demonstrate mild difficulties in working memory, while 5% above 65 years, 20% above 80 years and 50% above 100 years have dementia," informed doctor.
There is no system that is complete in itself. We have moved from technology to a world that is living in a post-COVID situation, where wellness plays a very important role in enhancing the overall aspects of health. The role of our journey from wellness to wellbeing played a very important role in giving, not just related to health, which is related to the physical and mental aspects.
The minister held a detailed review of the functioning of the health department and all its wings on Saturday.
