How Ayurvedic Ophthalmology differs??!!!

 Hello all,

Santa Claus is coming soon!!!! India's Santa has already given gifts to citizens with gift of Ayurveda Revolution....

Most of us would be unaware that there is something called Ayurvedic Ophthalmology? Right!!!

Don't feel you are alone, Many other Medical Practitioners are also unaware of this fact...

In Ayurved, Rishi Nimi (Saint Nimi) has written extensively on Eyes in his old Ayurved Scriptures. The branch of Ophthalmology in Ayurved is called Shalakya (Meaning Study of Area of E.N.T and Eye or above neck region)... Interesting Naa??!!😊

I also was intrigued to know more about it... Fortunately, I came in touch with 2-3 people who practice Ayurvedic Ophthalmology... I was also fortunate to take certain Therapies for Eye Care..

Now next question arises, Can Ayurvedic Ophthals do surgery?

The answer is Yes. The Father of Surgery is Rishi Vaid Sushruta. There were lot of technical advancements in eauipments, procedures of surgery, which made parient's life easy and comfortable during surgical procedures aand Post Surgery... (However the Paradox is this advancement credit was totally taken by Modern Medicine Practisioners, without being grateful to the Inventor and Founder of Surgeries in India, Thousands of years back....)

Well, lets not get into the debate right now!!! Let me point out what makes Ayurvedic Ophthalmology different:-

1. Ayurveda is a quite ancient Medical & Health Science of India. It has one speciality branch for Eyes, ENT, head to Neck region study called Shalakya.

2. Did you know, more than 70-80% diseases of Eyes are due to some issues in other parts of body. These causative factors are very well understood by Ayurvedic School of Ophthalmology

3. There are exclusive surgical and therapy Procedures studied by Ayurvedic Shalakis (Practisioners of Shalakya), apart from other anatomy, Physiology, updated Surgical procedures, mainly taught in Modern Ophthalmology. 

(Here, the issue is, The Govt, the College Authorities, the Central and State Regulatory bodies of Ayurved, to follow standardised guidelines set by so called Modern Medicine Stream Nationally and Internationally, fell prey to the nexus; and  did not take efforts to follow those standard procedures mentioned in our texts as to How are Practisioners should be, how the teacher should be, what qualities a student have, how a medical Institute should be, etc...)

4. Despite the odds, many ardent followers of Ayurved, managed to take knowledge of Traditional Ayurveda, Uograde themselves with Modern Technical Procedures, an are eligible and efficient enough to Practise wonderful Integrated Ophthalmology --- if thats the correct word I am using??!!

5. The best part of Ayurved Opthalmology (Shalakya) is the Variety of Medicinal herbs, which are even miraculous. 

Like we support our Farmers, it is our duty to save and support our Ancient Ayurved of India, than watch as spectators and be curious, Can Ayurvedic M.S. Vaids perform surgery???

We should make Bharat Atma-Nirbhar towards Practice of Hood medicine for a Healthy Life and Healthy Eyes and Great Vision

I feel there is nothing like Ayurvedic Ophthalmology or Modern Ophthalmology... It is just Ophthalmology in India, where for world to understand the uniqueness, we should tern the whole thing as Integrated Ophthalmology... What say???!
