IMA Telangana opposes proposed integrated MBBS-BAMS course
Hyderabad: The Central govt's announcement to introduce an integrated medical course combining MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) at the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry, has evoked strong criticism from the medical fraternity in Telangana. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The idea of the course stems from the National Medical Commission's (NMC) move of introducing modules on AYUSH to promote the integration of modern medicine with homoeopathy and Ayurveda. Typically, it takes five and a half years to complete the MBBS course, including a year of mandatory internship. Dr Dwarkanath Reddy, president, IMA Telangana, said that the integrated course could compromise the rigorous standards of modern medical education as it not only threatens modern medicine but also risks damaging Ayurveda by weakening its core principles. "We recognise the importance of Ayurveda, but mixing it with medicine will not benefit either field as it does not align with the principles of modern medicine. Will a patient be given ayurvedic medicine after a medical surgery? Patients will be the ultimate losers this way as it strips them of their freedom to choose a preferred system of care," he said. Earlier, the Telangana Junior Doctors Association (T-JUDA) called the announcement a "regressive and unscientific move," stating that it sees no public health benefit in the govt's push for "mixopathy," a term coined for the integrated course. Dr J Isaac Newton, president, T-JUDA, said that the new course risks producing inadequately trained practitioners, who can also be called "qualified quacks." "This is because they will lack expertise in either of the two disciplines. We should take the example of China, whose attempt to blend modern medicine with traditional Chinese medicine failed miserably and led to the weakening of its own indigenous system. " Doctors also appealed to practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine to unite in opposing the new policy for the benefit of both doctors and patients.

Modern Minds, Ancient Fixes: Inside Ayurveda's Answer To Anxiety And Brain Fog
Last Updated: With its simple ingredients and lifestyle changes, Ayurveda can help you build calm and resilience amidst the daily chaos. Ever feel like your mind has 20 tabs open, and the real problem isn't the noise, but the fact that you can't tell which one task deserves your attention first? The chaos of modern life doesn't just overwhelm your calendar; it clouds your thinking, drains your focus, and makes even simple decisions feel heavier than they should. Long before therapy apps, trending hacks, or self-help podcasts entered the chat, Ayurveda had already laid out simple, time-tested ways to build calm and resilience. At the heart of this ancient wisdom lies Ashwagandha, a powerful herb that calms the mind and restores balance. Ashwagandha is more than just a natural supplement; in Ayurveda, it's classified as a Rasayana, a rejuvenator of both mind and body. It's known for supporting your nervous system, managing cortisol levels, and improving emotional stability – all without the crash that comes from caffeine or energy drinks. Dr. Govindarajan, Chief Innovation Officer at Kapiva explains what makes Ashwagandha special. He mentions that the benefit of this herb is its long-term effect: it strengthens your inner resilience, making you less reactive to daily stressors and more capable of handling emotional and physical demands with ease. He notes, 'In Ayurveda, stress isn't seen as something that lives only in your head – it's a signal that your entire system is out of sync. Small daily rituals, paired with nature's support, can help realign the mind, body, and spirit." Herbal Support Ashwagandha is often the go-to herb for stress, but Ayurveda also leans on other plant allies. Dr Govindarajan notes, 'Jatamansi helps promote deep relaxation, Brahmi sharpens mental clarity, and Shankhpushpi offers emotional grounding. Together, these herbs create a natural cushion for the nervous system, allowing you to face life's curveballs with calm." Ayurveda teaches that food is fuel for both the body and the mind. Eating in sync with your dosha – whether Vata, Pitta, or Kapha – creates emotional balance from within. Dr Govindarajan suggests, 'For Vata types, warm and grounding foods like stews, root vegetables, and hearty soups help stabilise the mind and body. Pitta types find relief with cooling options such as cucumber, coconut water, and leafy greens. Meanwhile, Kapha types feel lighter and more energised with spiced, light meals like mung bean soup, steamed vegetables, and warming spices such as ginger and turmeric. Adding Ashwagandha to your diet, either as a supplement or mixed into warm milk, can enhance this balance even further." Move, Breathe, and Release Yoga and pranayama (breathwork) are more than fitness – they're stress detox tools. Flows like Surya Namaskar, grounding postures like forward bends, and calming techniques like alternate nostril breathing help clear emotional clutter. Make Friends with Stillness When your mind is racing, sitting quietly can feel impossible. Ashwagandha helps ease the nervous system into a calmer state, making it easier to practice meditation, mindfulness, or even just conscious breathing, helping you reconnect to your centre. Align with Nature's Clock Ayurveda's daily rhythm practice, known as Dinacharya, is a gentle antidote to the high-speed pace of modern life. Rising with the sun, eating at regular intervals, and winding down before 10 p.m. help your body and mind fall into harmony with natural cycles. Create a Sleep Sanctuary Dr Govindarajan explains, 'One of Ayurveda's most nurturing rituals is Abhyanga – a warm oil self-massage before bed. Combine this with dimmed lights, unplugged gadgets, and a calming nighttime routine to signal your body that it's time to switch off. Ashwagandha supports this transition by calming the mind and preparing the body for restful sleep." While stress might be woven into the fabric of modern life, it doesn't have to define your days. Ayurveda offers more than quick fixes – it offers small, meaningful ways to steady yourself, even when the world around you isn't.

How to use Patanjali's 'Dharti ka Chaukidar': A product for increasing the purity of soil
With increasing reliance on chemical-based pesticides and fertilizers, soil health has emerged as a great concern for Indian farmers. 'Dharti Ka Chaukidar,' an organic input by Patanjali, is a sustainable option that works and helps by replenishing soil purity and promoting sustainable agriculture. This soil bio-enhancer helps restore soil fertility lost as a result of excessive chemical use. It does this by restoring the right proportion of soil components and eliminating poisonous residues. The product is usable on a wide variety of crops, including cereals like wheat and rice, legumes like peas and soybeans, vegetables, medicinal plants, and even fruits. How does it work? 'Dharti Ka Chaukidar' operates by increasing the microbial health of the soil. Microbes are essential for plants since they assist in the uptake of nutrients and maintain soil fertility as a whole. Ongoing use of the product boosts microbial action, increases the bio-carbon level in the soil, and ultimately contributes to better crop yields. It also assists in combating the evil impacts of toxic chemicals and heavy metal residues often left behind by man-made crop inputs. Over time, it leads to improved soil structure, increased water-holding capacity, and increased aeration—all of which are critical factors in healthy root growth. How to use it in farmlands? To get the best out of it, 'Dharti Ka Chaukidar' must be applied wisely based on crop and field conditions. This is how it is to be applied - Mix 10 to 20 kg of the product with soil in one acre of land at the time of final ploughing. Alternatively, it may be applied when the field is sufficiently wet. The dose can be adjusted based on the type of crop. Key advantages Enhances farm yields and maintains soil fertility. Decreases chemical toxic residues, improving soil texture. Enhances both the quantity and nutritional value of crops. Maintains balanced essential nutrients and shields crops against injurious insects and microbes. Corrects deficiency of nitrogen if sprayed on leaves. With Indian agriculture moving towards sustainable farming, products such as 'Dharti Ka Chaukidar' provide a surefire, green solution. Not only does it restore the land, but long-term gain also comes to farmers and the environment. Long-term benefits to human health As farmers continue to grow their crops using chemical-free methods, the food harvested will be safer, richer and healthier. Rich in nutrients and minerals, such grown crops will reduce the risk of chronic illnesses linked to chemical exposure, including cancers, hormonal imbalances, and neurological disorders. By starting at the soil level, this product will indirectly safeguard human health and will contribute to a healthier, toxin-free food system for future generations.
