Equitable Health Solutions Can Help Rural India Combat Climate Change Related Challenges

India is experiencing the aftereffects of climate change in an unprecedented manner. In fact, Food and Agricultural Organisation’s recent report underlines that poor households lose around five per cent of their total income annually due to heat stress compared to better-off households. Similar studies also suggest that along with health threats, extreme weather conditions unleash a multi-pronged impact on the lives of rural populations, especially those dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. “Malnutrition continues to plague tribal regions, robbing communities of their vitality and potential; however, by empowering these populations with education rooted in Poly Scientific Ayurveda’s VPK42 Fingerprint analysis, we can unlock a wealth of personalized knowledge, enabling them to harness the power of nature’s bounty and develop sustainable strategies to combat malnutrition, restoring balance and well-being,” says Dr Ravishankar Polisetty, the pioneer of Poly Scientific Ayurveda. He adds, “As climate change continues to disrupt the delicate balance of ecosystems, indigenous and tribal communities, deeply connected to the land, bear the brunt of its consequences; however, by embracing the holistic principles of Poly Scientific Ayurveda, which harmonize traditional knowledge with modern science, we can not only mitigate the impact on these vulnerable populations but also pave the way for a sustainable future that heals our planet.”
