We might have come a long way ahead in the field of mental health. However, latest studies estimate about 1/3 of our population is suffering from some form of diagnosable mental illness at any given time. In spite of all the good advances and lifesaving medicines, most of these come with short-term cure and long-term, life-threatening side effects.

This alone proves that our most modern medicines and health systems aren't doing enough.

This missing gap has been long filled by our ancient sciences contained in Ayurveda. The 5000-year-old system of natural healing and medicine originated in the land of India, has everything to ensure elimination of diseases, body health, mental relaxation. And, it is high time that we recognise and give this ancient system of medicine to its full dignity.
