Dr. Malagi, why did you choose Ayurveda?
It was my father’s dream for me. Ayurveda meant a lot to him. I am fulfilling his dream.
What is your experience with patients? Do they trust the treatment?
I explain the cause of illness by which the patient becomes diseased, hence he just needs to take care of not repeating the mistake. When the patient is made to understand the Ayurvedic approach of preventive, promotive & curative concepts, they are convinced. This is how can bring them to trust Ayurvedic treatment.
Any challenge that you face as a practitioner?
Old people are familiar with Ayurveda and they have seen its value. The challenge is to convince the younger generation who has mostly been aware of the western medicines and doesn’t know better.
Any out of ordinary situation that you have faced while treating a patient?
Not so far. I hope it stays that way. Recovery of complete health in patients is our best reward.
Dr. Malagi, how effective is traditional medicine as a cure in your opinion?
For chronic conditions, traditional medicine is a par excellence treatment. Ayurveda is highly effective even in serious diseases and that proves it worth just the more.
What do you think of Ayurveda’s future and its role in integrated medicine?
If adequate stress is given on preventive concept of Ayurveda & Wellness, then the sky's the limit for Ayurveda in the Global Scenario. Ayurveda can play a big role in establishing wellness in the society.
Do you think Nirogstreet is making a difference by striving to connect Ayurveda practitioners through dedicated technology platforms?
Yes, Nirogstreet is a well-thought platform. It can help spread knowledge and awareness about Ayurveda and empower the practitioners and students.
Any hobbies or activities you engage in, outside your professional life?
Of course. I like reading, listening to soothing music, and taking long walks.
What message would you like to convey to the people on Wellbeing?
Adopt the concept of giving and enjoy life to the maximum extent. Be a role model of a healthy personality to other people. The world will be inspired.
