General

One of the major on-going debates about the approach to health care and medicine is whether the emphasis should be “Curative” or “Preventive”. While it is true that the Curative approach is totally unavoidable - that is because when we become ill, the symptoms have to be treated there is a larger body of opinion that favors a greater focus on aspects of health care that is Preventative.


To understand this very simply, the following points need to be considered

When we become ill, we immediately go to the doctor whose first objective is to try and stabilize or make the patient comfortable. The doctor will do this by treating the pain or the physical manifestation of the problem at hand.
Most good doctors would then probe the cause of the problem and then attempt to cure that problem, if it is within the known science to cure such a problem.
Sadly, there are illnesses for which there is no known cure and there are illnesses for which the curing period is very lengthy and often very expensive.
Consequently, the curative approach does not provide any guarantee that the problem will not re-appear and the patient will once again have to treat the symptoms and repeat the whole process.
Obviously this could become very frustrating, painful and very expensive, depending on the type and intensity of the illness.
In addition, the medication that may be required for a particular illness could once again be associated with possible side effects which may or may not be overcome by the patient depending on his / her allergies.

The Ayurveda Approach

It must be noted that the Ayurvedic approach is considered by some as an adjunct or simply explained, as going hand in hand with the medical approach. However, the majority users of Ayurvedic ‘medicine’ believe that the traditional nature of this approach coupled with its proven success over many centuries make it the best and only form of preventive health care. The following points are some of the main considerations that illustrate the differing approach of Ayurveda and the reasons why it has been acknowledge as the foremost practice of preventative ‘medicine’ known.

As a start and perhaps one of the most compelling reason for its popularity is the fact that there are no side effects with the use of Ayurvedic ‘medicine’. However for maximum benefit the dosage instructions and dietary advice must be strictly adhered to.
The main distinguishing factor of the Ayurvedic approach is that it advocates that this form of ‘medication’ must become part of a ‘lifestyle’ approach. To explain this in another way when we get into our car, we strap on the seat belts. This is not done because we are deliberately going to crash into some other vehicle or become involved in some accident, but it is done because it provides a safety feature that in the event that there is an accident, one is protected from serious injury. Similarly, the regular usage of Ayurvedic products provides the best barrier and safety protection against most types of illnesses.
As explained earlier, tradition plays a major role in the usage, application, faith and eventual efficacy of the products. That is why Ayurvedic ‘medicine’ has to become a way of life, -a way of life that is not life threatening but extremely re-assuring.
Many users of this form of ‘medicine’ combine it with a sincere element of spirituality and a firm belief in the ‘Hand of God’ as part of the healing process. This is a powerful aspect of the Ayurvedic approach and explains some of the mystic nature of the ‘medicine’.

Thus the regular intake of “Ayurol” for instance, will assist in the breaking down of cholesterol thereby keeping this vital aspect in check. Similarly, all other Welex products are designed to assist in the process of prevention of life threatening diseases before they even occur.
