Abstract:
Good Health today is a luxury rather than a right. Despite
advanced technologies, research and vast expenditures
to achieve it, modern society is plagued with diseases such
as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, allergies, pain, addiction,
mental illness and more. Chronic illness can be attributed
to and certainly aggravated by the quality and suitability
of industrialised food which is available to most people
world-wide. It is mass produced for weight, shelf-life and
uniformity, contaminated by chemicals and low in nutritional
value. Modern agriculture requires fertilisers, herbicides
and pesticides, there is an overuse of water, increased
evaporation, erosion and is an environmental disaster.
Furthermore, it doesn’t create soil whereas in sustainable,
natural systems of agriculture, there is diversity, complexity
and positive interactions creating soil, rich in microorganisms
necessary to sustain life on earth.
“Holistic Healing Village”offers the art of living in harmony
with nature by combining Ayurveda principles with natural
farming techniques to create a model in which health, healing
and disease prevention can thrive providing pure food and
water and a simple, stress-free lifestyle. It can be a centre of
health education and healing where communities can learn
sustainable living and food production, composting, recycling
and reusing of natural resources. It can be the driving force
behind innovation for living in harmony with nature where
real food is the foundation. Ayurveda says “When the diet is
wrong medicine is of no use - When the diet is right medicine
is of no need”.
