Context

  • The 7th Ayurveda Day was celebrated worldwide on 23rd October 2022 at a grand scale.

 

Ayurveda

  • Ayurveda has long been recognised as one of the most ancient and well-documented systems of medicine and is equally relevant today. Whether it is treating a healthy individual or one who is sick, it offers a distinctive holistic approach. Prevention of disease and promotion of health is the main aim of Ayurveda.

 

Ayurveda Day

  • Dhanawantari Jayanti is being celebrated since 2016 as Ayurveda Day to promote our most ancient and well documented system of medicine. The Vedas and Puranas depict Lord Dhanwantari as the physician of the Gods and the God of Ayurveda. This is why the birth anniversary of the God of Ayurveda is observed as "National Ayurveda Day” by the Ministry of AYUSH.
  • This year’s Ayurveda Day is being celebrated with the theme “Har Din Har Ghar Ayurveda” so as to propagate benefits of Ayurveda to larger and grass root community.

Significance

  • Ayurveda Day will introduce Ayurvedic principles of healing to the younger generation and to establish awareness among them.
