Significance of Chronic ailments
Chronic ailments refer to long-lasting health conditions requiring ongoing management and treatment. Both Rasashastra and modern science acknowledge various chronic issues like heart disease and eczema that necessitate continuous care. Traditional practices, especially in Ayurveda, offer remedies for these persistent issues, emphasizing the importance of dietary habits and lifestyle choices. Treatments, including metal-based preparations and herbal remedies, are employed to alleviate symptoms, although these conditions often remain controllable rather than curable, highlighting the complexity of chronic health management.
