ADVICE

Combine Systems For Acute And Chronic Care

  • Use integrated medicine: apply Ayurveda for chronic internal issues and allopathy for acute external invasions.
  • Tailor treatments to individual needs and avoid expecting one system to cover all cases.
INSIGHT

Preventing Texts From Becoming Dogma

  • Written tradition risks becoming dogma unless each generation produces practitioners who understand its experiential basis.
  • Sadhguru warns science becomes religion when people follow texts without inner realization.
ADVICE

Know Yourself First

  • Cultivate self-knowledge to identify your prakriti, vikruti, emotions and reactions.
  • Use inner exploration as the foundation for Ayurvedic living and health decisions.
