Vieroots' Yoga Day highlights personalization

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 22 (ANI/PNN): The easiest way to commercialise anything is by making it generic. That is how assembly-line cars replaced customised horse-drawn carts. And that is how modern medicine works too - the same pill for all diabetics.
But that isn't how the wellness wisdom of India worked. Ayurveda & Yoga used to be personalised solutions. Just like how all people have varying outward personalities, Indian medicine realised that each person is inwardly unique.
The concept of Prakirti and the classification of people as belonging to the varying combinations of three basic Prakirtis - Vata, Pitta, & Kapha, was the first attempt by ancient medicine, in personalisation.
And they survive to this day simply because medicines prescribed based on these prakirtis work like a charm. But generic thoughts invaded these sectors too and Ayurveda & Yoga became commercialised and less effective.
Today, medical research shows that people are unique, based on their genetics & metabolism. Personalised medicine is called precision medicine in the West and has become the buzz.
