REVIVAL OF AYURVEDIC SURGERY The modern surgery has developed very much, we should not forget that Susruta had attained so much of perfection even in those days when the rest of the world had not known even what surgery was. East has to learn much from the West, but the West too may have something to acquire from the East. With the fascilities available to us must try to revive the ancient glory of the art and science of surgery, so that it may come up again. and serve the suffering. humanity as it did before. The interest in Ayurveda has significantly increased in the modern period. Ayurveda is of great significance even during these times. Almost all the surgeries that are done in modern surgery (allopathic) can be done by Ayurvedic surgeons, but their major obstacle is the legal restrictions due to pre-surgery anesthetics. Ayurvedic surgeons from states like Karnataka, Maharashtra etc., conduct amputation surgeries such as Hernioplasty, Hernioraphy, Appendicitis etc. even during these times, whereas only piles surgery is done in the state of Kerala. IRS and Chryotherapy are the only surgeries for piles that are conducted here. These do not come under the definition of surgery laws as; these are done under the principles. 263

of Physics. It can be observed that the basic principles and systems that were suggested by Susruta, are still being followed by the modern Allopathic Surgeons during pre surgery preparations. In ancient days Triphala liniment was applied on the area where the surgery was being done and wiped with linen, where as, today, antiseptics are applied and wiped with cotton. The softer spot was chosen for conducting surgery from the area where the surgery was to be conducted and even today, in modern medicine the same principle is applied. Surgeons of Ayurveda claim that Ayurvedic surgeries are less expensive than Allopathic surgery and they also point out that there are no side effects in Ayurvedic post-surgery medicines that are used for healing the wounds. Similar to other departments of Ayurveda treatment, medicines to enhance the immunity of the human body are prescribed after surgery. Modern Science and modern medical Science believe that its vision, framework of the nature especially the physical nature and human body is the last and final. This may not be acceptable to all. Alternative medical systems have their own vision and framework. The 264

treatments based on Allopathy are no doubt effective but not without side effects. The side effects are very serious, sometimes, much total than the original symptoms. The experience of thousands of patients of Allopathy show that the side effects of drugs are very drastic, often causing even new diseases and maladies and sometimes causing even death of the patient a legalized murder by the doctors while there is no - guarantee that the original health problem will be definitely cured, it is definite that the side effects can be harmful or even dangerous and fatal, depending on the drugs used. It is the arrogance of the Allopathic practitioners that does not allow them to accept the truth. the truth that they give treatment, which does cause positive harm to the patients. No legal channels are available to sue the doctors who cause damage to the health of their patients. The following are the reasons for the harmful side effects of Allopathic drugs:- (a) The approach is not holistic but symptomatic. (b) Individual attention is not given, rather it is treated on a (c) mass basis. The drugs act at the molecular level and not at the tissue level 265

(d) The drugs are artificially produced, therefore, very strong. and have high potential concentration of single drug molecules without any counter balancing contents. In the case of herbal medicine, the drugs are at the tissue level, from natural herbal sources with balancing contents. Though there are a number of Ayurveda Colleges in the state of Kerala and the doctors are well qualified to conduct Ayurvedic surgeries, the prevailing misconception that allopathic surgeries are the only remedy prevents the acclaim of Ayurveda Surgery. There will be further explanation of this topic. Presently, eager steps are adopted to popularize the importance of Ayurvedic Surgery and create an awareness of the same among the public. A meeting of Kerala Ayurvedic Hospital Management Association was held at Kannur, Kerala, recently, where Ayurvedic Surgeons from Karnataka and Maharashtra participated. Much discussion were held on the topic of legal impediments in introducing anesthetic and the lack of facilities in Ayurveda colleges and a detailed memorandum was submitted to the Government on the same. The crux of the meeting was to enable and train more and more Ayurvedic doctors to conduct surgery and discussions were 266

also held to observe the possibilities and types of surgeries that could be adapted to the State environment. It seems that, it would be difficult to revive Ayurvedic surgery, unless much advertisement and awareness of its advantages are created in the public apart from the economic advantages.
