Situation
of Ayurveda in Nepal
Nepal has a glorious
history on Ayurveda. It is still taken as eternal because
nobody knows when it was not there. Even the festivals
and ethnic rituals celebrated in Nepal have the background
of Ayurveda. The process, theories and philosophies that
were described on Ayurveda text are the basis of all the
activities that are used to prevent the diseases by Nepalese
people. All these show Ayurveda’s long tradition
and deep attachment to the Nepalese culture. In Nepal,
Ayurveda is being used as a sociocultural and hereditary
therapy.
Approach of people on Ayurveda:
Nowadays, people are fed up with this congested, synthesized,
unnatural and suffocating environment. They want to return
back to nature. This reversed path has also affected the
treatment system. People have started to be conscious
about their health. They have started to think about the
food they eat, the place they visit and the medicine they
use. Obviously, they prefer natural things for their proposes
to synthesized and unnatural things. Ayurveda is also
a natural therapy since it interrelates the living body
to biological, mental and spiritual activities and prescribes
the natural herbal and metallic medicine taken from our
surrounding. So people prefer Ayurveda and its products.
In this context, numbers of visitors to the Ayurveda Health
Services have dramatically increased during these years.
The data collected from the specific places show that
millions of people visit to the Ayurveda Health services.
Approach of Ayurveda on
people:
According to National Ayurveda Health Policy-2052,
Government has planned to establish new Ayurveda health
services and make all the services well-equipped in proportion
to the population density, public demand and participation.
So the new Ayurveda Health services are being established
in different parts of country not only in government sector
but also in private sectors. Dhanwantari Ayurveda hospital
and Research Center is one of the examples of private
Ayurveda hospital. The current data of Ayurveda Health
