The hardships of a career in Ayurvedic practice

The Hindu  

Practice does not seem to be a feasible career option for most Ayurveda graduates. “ Ayurveda practitioners don’t seem to trust it fully,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi had noted in his speech at the sixth World Ayurveda Congress, in November 2014. Most States prohibit the practice of modern medicine by Ayurveda graduates and, consequently, the practitioner finds himself crippled again. A proper training of Ayurveda graduates with a view to make them good primary-care doctors would involve two preparatory exercises. One, a vigorous evidence-based appraisal of Ayurvedic theories and practices in order to sift the usable from the obsolete; and two, a statutory decision to allow Ayurveda graduates to practise modern medicine in stipulated primary care areas.
