These disciplines prescribe lifestyles for harmony amid chaos. Globally, the shift to integrative approaches favors prevention, embracing Yoga for mental peace and Ayurveda for cures.
Scientific validation through studies, uniform drug standards, and quality protocols will amplify acceptance. AYUSH Ministry’s proactive steps, harmonized with world benchmarks, are pioneering validated solutions for contemporary ailments.
