At the event Dr. Chauhan emphasized on the need to encourage acceptance by legalizing the classical Indian health science in European nations. *Dr. Partap Chauhan *noted that until recently there was a lack of understanding and misconceptions in the West about Ayurvedas potential and effectiveness. He saidThe attitude towards Ayurveda in the Europe is undergoing a sea-change. The earlier scepticism has given way to curiosity and would soon lead to acceptance. There are many areas like mental health and chronic diseases for which modern medicine is found wanting but Ayurveda has an effective solution.
