Ayurveda describes massage as one of the best way to remain healthy. Apart from daily massage, it prescribes many other massages to heal and rejuvenate the body.
As a result of Govt. policy to preserve and propagate the Ayurveda, there are three types of Ayurvedic practitioners.
The Ayurveda practitioners happen to be close to the communities where they practice. Very often they act as opinion leaders in the villages on health, social, economic and political matters. In times of illness they are the villagers' first contact. The cost of medicines and their consultation charges are generally lower than those of modern medicine.
- Traditionally trained practitioners under the guidance as apprentices of some experts. They were registered till the new provisions of IMCC Act, 1970 came in to force.
- Institutionally trained practitioners having degrees of Ayurveda qualifications of 4 to 5 ½ years duration.
- Postgraduate(M.D.Ayurveda) and Post doctorate(PhD)degree holder specialists of Ayurveda.
