CCRAS DG Dr GS Lavekar, the Director-General of Central Council for Research in Ayurveda and Siddha (CCRAS) says that ayurveda is not just an alternative system of medicine, but it could also be highly beneficial to fight against the fatal diseases.
Boasting of the ayurvedic system, Dr GS Lavekar claims that ayurvedic medicines have the capacity to tackle all chronic diseases and is capable of giving support to side effects of chemotherapy either. Plus, it can also boost quality of life in cancer patients.
Recently a drug called AYUSH-QOL 2-A, is being developed to enhance quality of life (QOL). The drug is to be brought about with the Indian Council of Medical Research.
He says, "Some more drugs like AYUSH-C for cancer, AYUSH-Osto for osteoporosis and AYUSH-SL for filariasis are also being developed. As gastro-intestinal ailments also affect a large chunk of State population, NRIADD will also work on `standardized formulations with quality’ to address specific problems in future. Drugs on geriatric care and reproductive child health (RCH) are also listed priority."
Dr Lavekar said Ayurveda is gaining ground globally and over 350 US-based universities were teaching it in their curriculum.
