The world of diseases is not static. Each generation sees some new diseases added to the old list. The situation poses a new challenge to understanding and treatment. As the morbidity and mortality scales remain high until the new diseases are understood and remedial measures found as happened in the recent instance of swine flu. However, Āyurveda with its farsightedness caters for such unexpected and unexplained diseases. This it can do because it looks at diseases primarily as an inner imbalance. The true remedy therefore is to reset the inner imbalance by strengthening our inner resources and correcting the internal disequilibrium. There is something we can do until we discover the real nature of a new disease and that something may be more than what is needed. It may correct the unexpected breach of equilibrium resulting in a cure. The following article deals with this strategy of Āyurveda in dealing with diseases of an unexplained origin.
