Goa Khabar:<\/strong>\u00a0Covid-19 enabled India\u2019s traditional alternative medicines to prove their efficacy to the rest of the world, Goa Governor Shri P.S. Sreedharan Pillai said at the\u00a0World Ayurveda Congress (WAC) today, lauding the subcontinent\u2019s indigenous systems for their holistic approach to wellness.<\/p>\n Not only does Ayurveda search for the root of diseases, the ancient system promotes the spirit of innovation that ensures its contemporariness, he noted as chief guest at the inauguration of International Delegates\u2019 Assembly (IDA) as part of the 9th WAC.<\/p>\n \u201cDedication is the third focal factor essential for the development of Ayurveda,\u201d he noted at the session where Shri Rajesh Kotecha, Secretary to the Ministry of Ayush, delivered the keynote address.<\/p>\n Shri Pillai, pointing out that China has flourishing business of bonsai, said the culture of growing miniature trees in pots evolved from Ayurveda, which calls it \u2018Vamana Vriksha Kala\u2019. \u201cOur Veda mentions this technique, which should be 5,000 years old. Buddhist monks later introduced it during their eastward travels,\u201d he said, hailing the Indian way of blending art (kala) into science.<\/p>\n The 20th century saw WHO announcing global eradication of certain contagious diseases, the Governor recalled. \u201cBut, into the 21st century, we are faced with new ailments of global spread.
