6 Indian Ways To Stay Healthy Copied By The West

We often have discussions about the things we Indians have copied from the people in the west and have been citing that following the western culture has made our outlook modern and we have become exposed to new avenues in various fields of development. But if we have a look at what the west has copied from us, then the list is not too short.

India being a country rich in terms of its varied cultures and traditions has sought fame in the west mainly due to Ayurveda and use of home remedies. People in the west are being largely switching to Indian ways to stay healthy and have been optimally utilising the Indian vedic knowledge about healing various disorders. Even many celebrities in the west have been resorting to Indian methods of body healing and rejuvenation.

One of the best things about our Indian home remedies, yoga, Ayurveda, etc is that they don’t have any adverse impact on our well being and this is the main reason why people in the west are not sceptical about experimenting them. You will be amazed to know these 6 Indian ways to stay healthy copied by the west and how well they have welcomed our techniques, the use of which is diminishing in our country itself:

1) Use Of Ghee

Ghee or clarified butter is extremely beneficial for people of all ages and in India, it is even made at homes. It is a widely used ingredient and even medical experts have revealed that ghee is healthier than refined oil and if consumed in limited quantities on daily basis, it can help in making your bones strong and gives you beautiful and supple skin. Of late, people in the west have started using ghee in many of their dishes and have been seeking ways to incorporate more of them in place of vegetable oil.

2) Ginger Tea For Treating Health Disorders

In India, gradually we have adopted the western way of popping pills every time we suffer from coughs and colds. Meanwhile, there has been a notable transformation in their approach towards health disorders. Ginger tea has become highly popular in the west as many medical studies have proven that ginger tea helps in flushing out the toxins while providing the necessary heat to the body. It is highly effective in improving the immunity level and warding off diseases such as cough, cold, fever, etc.

3) Anti-septic Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has been widely used in India, especially in the southern part and has multiple uses. It is the best oil for cooking and even massaging since ancient times. It has healing properties too. Adding them to your dishes while cooking will help you in losing weight fast. It is great for getting flawless skin and luscious and thick hair. Today, the people in the west too have coconut oil preparations at their homes and also make use of coconut oils for treating many of their health issues.

4) Wonders Of Turmeric

Turmeric is being widely used in the Indian kitchens as it gives great colour to the food and also in our traditional Ayurvedic medicines since it has anti-inflammatory properties. Even when consumed with food, it helps in treating internal body infections and aids in removal of toxins. But the usage of turmeric is not limited to India only. Lately many people in the west have come to know how turmeric can be advantageously used to heal wounds externally and internally.

5) Power Of Meditation

As per vedas, sages used to practice meditation to express their devotion for God. Om chanting and deep breathing techniques along with using imagination to disconnect yourself with the world and connect to your soul is the way by which you can meditate to attain peace for your mind and relieve all the accumulated stress. People in the west have been adopting this technique as a stress buster and is being even used in rehabilitation centres to deal with patients suffering from any mental disorder.
