چکیده
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Ayurveda views medicine as an art of healing where the physician-patient relationship matters the most. The Ayurvedic healing arts address the growing need of compassionate bedside medicine. The ancient Ayurvedic text, Charaka Samhita, says, “A physician, even if well versed in the knowledge of diseases and their treatments, doesn’t try to enter into the heart of the patient by virtue of the light of their knowledge, they will not be able to properly heal the disease.” Besides knowledge of Ayurveda, a good Ayurvedic practitioner pays attention to physical appearance, body language, demeanor, observation skills, and above all, communication. I like to listen to the concerns of my patients and offer assurance to them with honesty. I do not like to give false hope, but I try to use positive language to help my patients on their journey of healing with compassion and empathy.
