Jai Hind Everyone,

Hello Brothers and Sisters, Today I decided to participate in another Steemit Engagement Challenge contest in the Healthy Steem Community. I always love contests and I will explain my ideas about Ancient Medicine

---

In your country, what type of ancient medicine did they perform?

---

In my country of India, ancient medicine is already prevalent and has a diverse background rooted deep in traditional techniques and alternative therapies. When talking about this, we should especially talk about Ayurveda, which is one of the most popular methods of ancient medicine, which goes back countless years.

If we talk about Ayurveda and its unique capabilities, it highlights the balance of body, mind and spirit through all natural solutions, natural treatments, nutritional changes and lifestyles. Along with Ayurveda, other ancient methods of recovery such as Yoga, Siddha, Unani have of course developed and the ancients have made it clear to us that each offers a different kind of understanding of health and longevity.

Can you give your honest opinion according to your beliefs? (your point of view is valuable to us)

In my opinion, Ayurveda as an ancient system of medicine has gained recognition for its truly alternative approach to health and wellness. Because its focus on all-natural solutions and lifestyle aligns with concepts of balance and harmony within the body.

Furthermore, Ayurveda is indeed widely accepted in India, along with exercise in the past, and I am of the opinion that any form of medicine should be approached with an open mind, thinking of both its potential benefits and limitations, while also seeking advice from certified health care professionals.

As I said before this is the result of Ayurveda, the ancient medical system of India, an alternative strategy that has great value for health. However, accepting both new and old practices is the only solution for humans to find optimal well-being, and when one method fails, we tend to turn to completely different methods.

Can you describe some elements they used at the time? What was the special use of each one?

In ancient Ayurvedic medicine, various elements were used and below I have taken some examples with their special uses.

Herbs and Plants

• Ayurveda thoroughly uses natural herbs as well as plants for medical functions. As per my knowledge every natural herb has specific residential properties which we all know. For example, the extract of turmeric is widely used for its antimicrobial properties.

Minerals and also Metals

• Certain minerals and metals were additionally made use of in Ayurvedic solutions. For example gold as well as silver were made use of in bhasmas (ashes) after undertaking filtration procedures. These bhasmas were thought to have renewing and also reinforcing results on the body.

Animal Products

• Some animal-derived compounds were made use of in Ayurveda, such as ghee (made clear butter) as well as honey. Ghee is taken into consideration as beneficial as well as utilized in different organic solutions to improve absorption together with effectiveness. Honey is valued for its antimicrobial buildings as well and is made use of in both inner as well as exterior therapies.

Yoga exercise and Meditation

• Ayurveda acknowledges the mind-body link along with highlights methods like yoga exercise as well as reflection for alternative wellness. Yoga exercise asanas (positions) together with pranayama (breathing workouts) are recommended to stabilize the doshas (organic powers) as well as advertise psychological plus physical consistency.

Generally, each component made use of in Ayurveda offers a details objective in recovering equilibrium and consistency to the body, mind along with spirit therefore sustaining general wellness as well as well-being.

Design a scenario about ''Ancient medicine''

Above I have created a picture of one kind of doctor and another patient and you will understand that the way this doctor treats that patient is quite different. Here I assume that this doctor is doing a rather old method of treatment and we understand that she is also treating the patient using a certain fire or something like that.

According to my opinion, here the doctor heats the patient's back area with some equipment and works a little dedicatedly for his recovery. So we can understand that the methods of those ancients were quite difficult and it is very different when we look at the way we get treatment today.

Conclusion

Today I have discussed my idea about celebrating Ancient Medicine and I have taken very good examples that have been used widely in my country. I would like to invite my friends @pathanapsana, @hamzayousafzai, and @letssittt to participate in this contest.

Thank you for reading my contest submission.
