PUNE: Ayurveda needs to be accorded the pride of place it rightly deserves, opined Dr. Madhu Chopra, renowned cosmetologist and holistic wellness advocate. She was speaking at the inauguration of the SoulVeda Wellness and Panchakarma Clinic in Model Colony. The event was hosted by Dr. Jayant Abhyankar, founder of Sharangdhar Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd.
Dr. Chopra shared that she had both an MBBS and an Ayurveda practitioner in her family and has personally witnessed the benefits of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a science that has been passed down through generations. We must find a balance where we can resort to all kinds of fact-based, science-based medical systems.
Dr. Jayant Abhyankar, founder of Sharangdhar Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd., stated that every medical system has strengths and limitations. Integrated medicine is crucial for people’s overall health. Reflecting on the journey of ‘Sharangdhar,’ he mentioned that they started in 1985 and have observed many changes in people’s perspectives. After COVID, people realized that many health issues cannot be resolved unless we address the root cause, which is why Ayurveda is gaining importance. Healing power and immunity are built into them, and we need to enhance them.
Earlier, Sharangdhar was solely focused on Ayurveda products, but with ‘SoulVeda,’ they have entered the service industry, offering a complete solution.
Interacting with a young audience, Dr. Chopra emphasized that everyone is special, and physical appearance should not affect mental health. It should not become a reason for vanity; rather, it should be based on need. Advising to eat seasonal and local foods, Dr. Chopra added that a consistent regimen of exercise, meditation, and a healthy, nutritious diet has helped her maintain a high energy level
