Lifestyle Disorder & Infectious Diseases - Know How Ayurveda Can Help!

Ayurveda and Non-Communicable Diseases-
Non-communicable diseases are those that are not contagious. That means if you have contracted it, you will not pass it on to those around you.

These diseases are also called lifestyle disorders. That is because they are triggered by some of our lifestyle choices. We live in a fast and materialistic world. We have no option but to be part of the relentless rat race. The result is unmitigated anxiety and worries over the future. Anxiety is a silent killer and can have a damaging effect on a number of your body’s organs. Coupled with unwise eating habits and rising levels of pollution, the human body is besieged. Cardiac ailments, arthritis, cancer, asthma and diabetes are on the increase.

Non-communicable diseases are a grave threat. They are responsible for the deaths of nearly 38 million people worldwide every year.
Conventional medicines can force the pathogens to retreat but they are accompanied by side effects and some of them can be as harmful as the disorder that the medicines cured. That is why more people are choosing to opt for a more naturalistic approach to healing. They are turning to Ayurveda.

Ayurveda’s outlook on treating non-communicable diseases is to adopt an all-embracing philosophy, which heals both the mind and the body and promote longevity. For treating these ailments, Ayurveda does not just prescribe medicines but places equal emphasis on implementing lifestyle changes. Chief among them is a healthy, organic diet and plenty of exercises to keep both mind and body healthy.
Not only can Ayurveda vanquish non-communicable diseases, but it can also help ensure that the disorders do not recur. It follows the motto ‘prevention is better than cure’. Your Ayurvedic doctor will guide you on your diet and how to conduct your life ethically so that the non-communicable disorder does not make a comeback.

Ayurveda and Communicable Disorder-
Communicable disease means that if you get it, you can transfer it to others. Ayurveda discovered ages ago that communicable diseases spread through contact. A healthy person may come in contact with things you had touched like a handkerchief or a doorknob and come down with the same disease. It may also happen because of physical contact.

Ayurveda believes that it is only when the body’s ‘Bala’ or vitality has weakened does it become vulnerable to contagious or infectious diseases. If there is an imbalance of the three Doshas, your body becomes vulnerable to communicable diseases.

The treatment includes a comprehensive overhaul of the body. Ayurveda believes that communicable diseases also affect the mind. And if the mind is not at its healthiest, it will slow down the healing process. So medications are administered to purify both the psyche and the body. Medicines also aim to strike a balance among the doshas.
Ayurveda has solutions to both non-communicable and communicable diseases. Not only are they immensely effective but they do not have a damaging impact on your body as certain conventional medicines do.
