Nanotechnology & Bhasm in Ayurveda Part 1 with Prof. Balram Singh & Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar

In the first of a two-video series interaction between Prof. Balram Singh (Institute of Advanced Sciences) and Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar (IISc Bangalore), the centre of focus is the Ayurvedic approach to proactive well-being. Ayurveda is one of the few extant traditions of medicine developed in ancient times that is still widely practiced in modern times, even though many, particularly in the Western world, doubt its claims. The key question is that if we have a system that can be experimented on and empirically proven, is that valid or is it still pseudo-science as Johannes Quack calls Ayurveda? In this interaction, the emphasis on looking at rigorous modern scientific attestations of Ayurveda, particularly around how the biochemical profiles of an individual are interconnected - much like the interconnectedness spoken of within the human constitution as per Ayurveda, intra-cellular dynamics and genomic aspects of what Ayurveda has to say, as well as the veracity of the FDA's claim of the chemical danger of some Ayurvedic products.
