Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Introduction: Indian medical science (Ayurveda) has been incorporated as a part of Indian traditions. At present where health for all is a major challenge, re vitalization for this ancient Indian pattern of understanding and incorporating health with tradition will be a great benefit. Aim of study: To conceptualize and analyse the Sair festival practice in terms of health benefits. Sair Festival: Symbolically it is celebrated as worship to god, but various customs being followed as a part of ritual is a hidden message for identification and protection of important medicinal plants and food items which are being prepared from them and are beneficial for health especially in winter season. Discussion: Indian society is a very religious society, belief in god and worship in any form is almost a part of every Indian. This seems to be a reason why worship of some crops are celebrated in order to inculcate the importance of these crops both financially by protecting the crops and also to make people aware of the benefits of these crops and herbs so that more people include them in their daily life thus getting proper nutrition and health in name of traditions. Use of Kushmand (petha), Tila, Bala, Maize, Apamarg, dhanya and Durva which are really beneficial especially during winters is a great example of inculcation of Indian Medical Science (Ayurveda) in the traditions. Conclusion: Such customs and traditional festivals should be preserved and need to be presented with their scientific aspect to young generation so as to achieve health for all targets.
