Indian healing system attracts scientists from west

Medical experts of USA have turned to Ayurveda after finding that India’s classical alternative system of healing can make a dent in heart attack rates. Baffled by the fact that enormous resources and latest medical technology have failed to lower the incidence of cardio-vascular diseases, they have come here to explore possibilities of productive research in herbal medicines. With the dream of bringing a technology to promote the Indian Classical System, Robert Schneider, one of the 15 American experts participated in a workshop along with other Ayurveda practioners here in India. A paper on stroke in Indian Healing System in the journal of the American Heart Association claimed that with meditation one could open up the clogged heart arteries. Another medical journal reported that control blood pressure was possible as much with yoga as medicine. Schneider claims that heart induced death risks can be reduced by 50 per cent by resorting to the Vedic mode of healing.
