“All over the world a lot of people die today have hydrogenise disorder, which is drug inducing disorder. And it is believed in America alone everyday 300 people die because of a drug-induced disorder, which is equal to any Boeing crash. So, you can imagine how much news it would make,” he adds.

“People are now becoming more aware of the fact that chemical medicines come with lot of side effects, and therefore, people want something which is safe. They also want something that is permanent. Today, people want to wait a little bit and ask for long-term solutions rather than quick fixes,” Dr. Batra said.

Ayurveda is one of the oldest and most holistic medical systems, which has taught in the universities of Taxila and Nalanda in ancient times. Ayurvedic practitioners now receive training on par with Western medical specialties. Institutions have brought Ayurvedic education from 'gurukuls' to the modern classrooms. From here it fulfills patients’ news.

“I avoid taking medicines, but if I am compelled to do so, then my preference is either Ayurvedic or Homeopathy. In homeopathy, we are unable to get the first aid, but in Ayurveda, medicines are available that cures you instantly,” claimed Shobha Jindal, a patient who swears by alternative medicine systems.

But, while there are positive results in some diseases in alternative therapy, there are many diseases that are best dealt with through allopathy.
