HOW POCKET FRIENDLY IS OUR PRESCRIPTIONS?

Reethu.T.K, Dept of Rasasastra and Bhaishajya kalpana

Ayurveda was once a part and parcel of a keralites life and was well known for its cost effectiveness. It has now become unapproachable to the majority of middle class population due to its pocket draining prescriptions. Reports have come that only about 7 % of keralites use Ayurveda as their first choice in primary health care system. One among the reasons is the increase in cost of Ayurvedic medicines. To address such a situation we should analyze the problems which create this financial burden to the patient and find some possible solution. In this presentation we deal with three concepts for cost effective Ayurveda. They are availability, affordability and awareness.   

SMALL EFFORTS BIGGER VALUES

Viji Vikraman.V, Dept of Rasasastra and Bhaishajya kalpana

Ayurveda is a system of medicine where the doctor prepares the medicines by himself or directs the patient to prepare it according to the condition of the disease. Due to changes in life styles this tradition of preparing medicines by the doctor is being neglected now a day and we tend to prescribe from the medicine catalogue offered by the pharmacies. But there are so many formulations which can be prepared with small efforts and gain bigger values from them. This presentation intends to familiarize some of these easier and useful preparations in ayurveda.
