NEW DELHI, INDIA, May 1, 2010: With an aim to ensure that ayurveda is accessible to the rural community, especially women, efforts are being made to make the discipline a part of primary health centres and create awareness about it.

A new program has been created to clear myths and generate suggestions for policy formulations for incorporating ayurveda in National Rural Healthcare systems for women.

“We propose to understand the science and logic behind traditional lifestyles and know the different options available for affordable and alternative means of good health for our rural populace,” an NGO participating in a seminar on ayurveda in New Delhi said.
