Humanity as a whole is searching for more integrating options when thinking and acting in favor of health. In this search we understand that the exactitude and rigorousness of allopathic Western medicine does not oppose other more spiritual views, which some call alternative, complimentary or traditional. This last term can be more precise when speaking of Ayurvedic Medicine (1), since it constitutes an antique cultural and religious body of knowledge of India.

To start approaching this wonderful medicine, made popular in the West by Dr. Deepak Chopra (2), Dr. Diana Alvarez will help us. While being a cardiologist with a Western education, she learned and experimented on her own health the benefits of Ayurvedic Medicine. Because of an illness for which allopathic medicine could not help her, Diana approached an expert on Ayurveda: “For me it was a whole discovery, because I realized that with only fitting my diet and life style my whole health almost miraculously improved”. She studied this millenary knowledge at the Ayurveda Holistic Center in the United States and after 10 years started applying that knowledge to her medical practice. That delay should not surprise us, if we think of how different the points of view are between western and oriental medicine, including Ayurveda.

“We should thank Chopra not only for his publication of Ayurveda in the East, but also for having maintained its original spirit”.
