Clocking in at 90 minutes and shot in English, the film dives deep into how this ancient Indian system of medicine might just be the answer to some of modern healthcare\u2019s biggest challenges.The premiere took place at the Film Division Theatre. Union Minister of State for AYUSH and Health &amp; Family Welfare, Prataprao Jadhav, and AYUSH Secretary Rajesh Kotecha were there to do the honors, alongside a lineup of dignitaries from the health and wellness space.The film, produced by Dr. A.V. Anoop under AVA Productions in collaboration with the <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/ayurvedic-medicine\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ayurvedic Medicine<\/a> Manufacturers Organisation of India (AMMOI), is directed by Vinod Mankara. Attendees included major voices in the Ayurvedic and medical world\u2014Dr. P Ramkumar (AMMOI President), E.T. Neelakandan Moos (AMMOI Treasurer), Prof. Rabinarayan Acharya (Director General of CCRAS), Padma Shri Vaidya Balendu Prakash, Sanjay Shrivastava of Maharishi <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/ayurveda\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ayurveda<\/a>, and Promod Sharma from Baidyanath.So, what\u2019s the big message? That Ayurveda isn\u2019t just about herbal powders and yoga poses\u2014it\u2019s a holistic, preventive approach backed by actual research. The film busts common myths that Ayurveda is all belief and no science, and instead shows how it\u2019s supported by over a thousand peer-reviewed studies, modern lab testing, and real-world case stories.With chronic illnesses like diabetes, arthritis, and autoimmune diseases draining healthcare systems across the U.S., Germany, and Switzerland, The Double Helix of Life argues that Ayurveda offers something mainstream medicine often lacks\u2014prevention. And when it\u2019s supported by evidence, it\u2019s not just effective\u2014it\u2019s cost-efficient and low on side effects too.\u201cAyurveda gives us tools to not just treat, but prevent disease,\u201d says Dr. A.V. Anoop. \u201cIt\u2019s time to shift from managing symptoms to addressing root causes.\u201dDirector Vinod Mankara adds, \u201cThis film isn\u2019t just about looking back at tradition\u2014it\u2019s about looking ahead. Ayurveda is already included in wellness insurance in countries like Germany and Switzerland. In India, it\u2019s part of the Ayushman Bharat mission. It can really ease the pressure on our public health system.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A powerful new documentary on Ayurveda\u2014Ayurveda: The Double Helix of Life\u2014just had its grand premiere in New Delhi.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":231587,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4315],"tags":[31097,49506,90921,54848,8226,105,90920,4326,46116,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-231586","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-medication","8":"tag-ayurveda","9":"tag-ayurvedic-medicine","10":"tag-ayushman-bharat-mission","11":"tag-chronic-illnesses","12":"tag-documentary","13":"tag-health","14":"tag-healthcare-challenges","15":"tag-medication","16":"tag-preventive-medicine","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114782817743554584","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
