Ohlsén, Tina January 1996 (has links)
This paper reviews selected work, published between 1944 and 1995, on the subject of Ayurveda. The aim of the review was to explore the ethnohistory of Ayurveda and the attached concept of health and illness, out of a transcultural perspective. Ayurveda is a medical tradition practiced throughout South Asia.  It is founded upon Sanskrit texts dating back more than two thousand years. Its ancient fundamental health ideas and practices still persists. Ayurveda offers not only a complete different way of understanding health and illness, but also different forms of treatment. The Ayurvedic view of health is synergistic and multifaceted concept of balance and harmony within the organism (mind, body and soul) as well as within the universal system the organism is a part. Disturbance of the harmony on a level, causes sickness. Ayurvedic doctrine emphasizes the importance of promotion of health and prevention of sickness.

South Asian countries, often has a pluralistic medical system, in which Ayurvedic health care is one option among many. The Ayurvedic medical system is an important provider of modern health care in South Asia.

Reckoning up the body : logics of enumeration and arrangement in Buddhist and Āyurvedic inventories of anatomy

Johnson, Dana Noel 03 April 2014 (has links)
Indian accounts of anatomy from the early centuries of the Common Era display a shared desire to enumerate the parts of the human body. Two such accounts occur in the foundational texts of āyurveda --- the Caraka-saṃhitā and Suśruta-saṃhitā --- and another in the Buddhist commentarial text, the Visuddhimagga. Scholars have mined these medical sources in particular to determine the extent and accuracy of anatomical knowledge in ancient India. But little has been done to understand the logics that these sources apply in dismembering, enumerating, and rearranging the body. A close reading reveals three distinct ways by which the materiality of the body could be interpreted in ancient India to conform to broader ideologies and epistemologies. Moreover, through examining both āyurvedic and Buddhist sources, it soon becomes clear that generalizations like "religion" and "medicine" mask the constellation of complex and often-overlapping concerns present in these various studies of anatomy. / text

Recently educated nurses' perceptions of Ayurvedic medicine and its impact on everyday clinical work in Kerala, India. : An empirical study / Nyutbildade sjuksköterskors uppfattningar om Ayurvedisk medicin och dess inverkan på det dagliga kliniska arbetet i Kerala, Indien. : En empirisk studie

Hansson, Emilia, Stensson, Jonna January 2022 (has links)
ntroduction: The definition of nursing which includes the promotion of health and holistic health implies prosperity for the whole human. Ayurveda aims to strengthen the individual and is part of holistic health. In India, among other care methods, Ayurveda is used as a complement to Western medicine. Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is a collective name for different types of treatments that are complementary and alternative to traditional healthcare. CAM has gained more interest in the western world. It is therefore important to investigate how Ayurveda as a part of a holistic approach can affect nursing care. Aim: The purpose of the study was to investigate how recently educated nurses in Kerala, India perceive Ayurvedic treatment and how it affects nursing care for patients in everyday clinical work. Method: A qualitative design was chosen. Data was collected through semi-structured individual interviews from five nurses. Data was analyzed using thematic analyses. Result: The analysis of Ayurvedic perceptions and impact resulted in three themes; A two sided coin, Ayurveda's impact from a patient safety perspective and the nurse's perception of the patient’s right to choose treatment. The first theme has two categories; Ayurveda as beneficial and, difficulties and challenges. The second theme also has two categories; medical history and vigilance. Conclusion: The study showed the nurses' different views on ayurveda and its impact on clinical work. Important findings from nursing in Kerala, India, were found. The results showed some important aspects to take into account when meeting and treating a patient, benefits, difficulties and challenges were found. Medical history were considered significant to reduce the risk of complications and to ensure patient safety but also take the patient's right to choose treatment in consideration. / Erasmus

Pilot feasibility of a yoga and Ayurveda-based virtual group health coaching program to increase flourishing in Cooperative Extension employees of one state system

Gregg, Morgan 03 June 2022 (has links)
Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) agents build local relationships with participants and stakeholders to translate evidence-based information to improve "economic, environmental, and social well-being" of Virginians. However, Extension agents have reported high rates of employee burnout and stress. To mitigate the impacts of agent stress and burn-out, application of mindfulness and yoga through health coaching is emergent, but the impact is yet to be empirically tested. To holistically evaluate the individual-level impacts (i.e., behavior) as well as the system impacts (i.e., costs and sustainability), this project tested the initial feasibility, cost, reach, and efficacy of a virtual health coaching program for VCE agents. The CHAT (Coaching for Health and Togetherness) program consisted of nine weekly, one-hour modules including goal setting, self-reflection, behavior change strategies, group yoga and grounding exercises as well as resources on Ayurveda (an ancient Indian system of medicine and sister science to yoga). The program facilitated group dynamics through relationship building, group goal setting, group distinctiveness, and support. The impacts of the coaching module were measured longitudinally (pre, post, and 3-month follow up) through previously validated scales in flourishing (i.e., complete human well-being), group cohesion, physical activity behaviors, and yoga self-efficacy. Additionally, qualitative data were collected at the 6-month follow up point through semi-structured interviews. Participants in CHAT reported increased flourishing scores from baseline to post-program, t(7)=4.42, p=0.003 with a medium effect size (d=0.53) as well as at the three-month follow-up, t(7)=3.06, p=0.018 with a small effect size (d=0.14). Participants significantly increased aerobic physical activity behaviors from pre-program to post program, X2(1, N=11) =7.21, p=0.007, as well as at the three-month follow up, X2(1, N=11) = 4.95, p=0.026. Participants did not show significant changes in yoga self-efficacy or group cohesion. Future implications of this project include sustainability and scalability of virtual group health coaching programs for behavior change. / Master of Science / Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) agents build local relationships with participants and stakeholders to translate evidence-based information to improve "economic, environmental, and social well-being" of Virginians.

"Léčba není výzva, výzvou je pochopení." Etnografická studie Ájurvédy / "To cure is no challenge, the goal is to understand." Ethnographic study of Ayurveda

Wolfová, Alžběta January 2014 (has links)
My diploma thesis mainly deals with monitoring Ayurveda and description of this phenomena in specific situations and contexts. Ayurveda is understood as an entity based on the actor network theory and the symmetrical anthropology which has been constructed in a process of mutual relationships of actors alleging of various natures (material, social, discursive). The main focus is on the ways of setting and redefining of boundaries of Ayurveda as such which have been realized through identification of significant parts related to this process. It was decided to define the key actors as the Teacher, the Doctrine, the Ayurveda Institution, approaches to human body by alimentation, yoga and breath exercise and Ayurvedic medicines. Each chapter is dedicated to both elements and practices influencing these key actors and different ways of their realization. Ayurveda in its entirety is intervened by members of the community, canonical Ayurvedic texts, biomedicine, national and EUs legislative, climate, politics of Institution, individual daily routines and collective scope of interpretation. 1
