AYURVEDA
Originating in India over 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda is a holistic medical science that treats the root cause of ailments rather than just masking symptoms. According to Ayurvedic philosophy, every individual is born with a unique constitutional blueprint (Prakriti) made up of three vital energies or doshas: Vata (air & space), Pitta (fire & water), and Kappa (earth & water). When these doshas fall out of balance due to poor diet, stress, or environmental factors, illness arises.
["As the world searches for lasting health and inner balance, Ayurveda stands as the science of complete well being for humanity" - Dr. DK Shrivastava, International Ayurveda Expert]

WORK IN UTTRAKHAND
National Nature Training Campaign – Uttarakhand
In November 2024, Dr. D.K. Srivastava was appointed as the Uttarakhand State Coordinator for the National Nature Training Campaign (राष्ट्रीय प्रकृति प्रशिक्षण अभियान). The nationwide initiative focuses on expanding the understanding and documentation of Ayurvedic Prakriti (individual constitution) through large-scale Nadi Parikshan (pulse diagnosis) and nature-based assessment. The campaign aims to assess the Prakriti of approximately 10 million (1 crore) people across India, creating a substantial research database for traditional Indian medicine. As Uttarakhand State Coordinator, Dr. Srivastava contributes to coordinating this initiative across the state, involving Ayurvedic students, faculty members, practitioners, medical colleges, and institutions in this large-scale effort to document and advance the understanding of Ayurveda.
