Diseases like diabetes and hypertension are metabolic imbalances and allopathic medicine is only an emergency intervention. The only proven way to bring the body to balance is through Ayurveda, said Ramesh Vangal, chairman of Katra Group and the chief guest for the World Diabetes Day function at VHS Hospitals here.
Advocating the introduction of Ayurvedic medicine as a mainstream treatment, Vangal also expressed interest in a collaborative effort with the hospital propagating Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of diabetes. He said, “We are currently in talks and some of the works that we are engaged in, will be greatly beneficial if brought here. We will start working on it soon.”
The event was presided over by professor S Suresh, the secretary of VHS. VHS Hospitals also conducted special games and competitions for patients with Type 1 Diabetes.
