Free ayurvedic camp held at Andhra University

On Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., the Department of Yoga and Consciousness at Andhra University hosted a complimentary Ayurvedic medical camp at Yoga Village on Beach Road. Dr. K. Eswara Rao, a retired Senior Medical Officer from King George Hospital, conducted the examination and distribution of medicines to patients free of charge.

Dr. Rao has been organizing this monthly event since 2022, stating that the combination of Yoga and Ayurveda can prevent 80% of primary diseases. He emphasized the increasing prevalence of psychiatric issues and lifestyle disorders, such as diabetes, obesity, gastritis, and polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), which can be managed through Ayurvedic practices.

Dr. Rao commended the university's Department of Yoga and Consciousness for their cooperation in providing the venue and noted that he frequently visits the department as a guest faculty member to discuss the relationship between Yoga and Ayurveda. He stressed the importance of seeking professional guidance, as advice found on social media can lead people astray and foster misconceptions about Ayurveda.
