Why accept the impossible? Ayurveda says there is no cure for everything
Directed by Vipin Das, Jaya Jaya Jaya Hai with Darshan Rajendran in the lead role is moving forward with great response from the audience. The film presented the lives of women who have to live suffocatingly in a patriarchal society mixed with humor.
Along with this, the film features many other events that happen in society in a fun way. Ayurveda is one of the themes that the film addresses with considerable criticism.
The film criticizes how to rely only on Ayurveda for everything.
In one of the scenes in the film, Rajesh, who plays Basil, goes to a shop that sells Ayurvedic medicines to seek treatment after being kicked in the stomach.
The shopkeeper, however, tells Rajesh that he may have internal bleeding and will have to undergo a scan. Therefore, he says, it is best to go to medical college.
Hearing this, the Ayurvedic shop assistant accuses him and speaks. The assistant asks that people come to the shop sometimes and what they will do if they too are sent to allopathy.
The shopkeeper asks the assistant that we cannot cure any internal bleeding and why we are taking on something we cannot do.
In this scene of a few seconds, Jaya Hai tells many shocking things related to Ayurveda. It is also interesting to note that the person in the shop that sells Ayurvedic medicines says so.
Health experts have repeatedly stressed that not all diseases can be cured with Ayurvedic treatment, and in some cases where urgent treatment is needed, care must be taken to approach allopathy itself.
In recent times there have been attempts to change the law so that Ayurvedic doctors can do all the treatments that MBBS qualified doctors can do. This has led to great criticism.
The Ayurveda scene in Jaya Hai will certainly gain more discussion space in the coming days.
