Disease Definition and a Feeler about Different Medical Systems.

Disease is an unsatisfactory health condition of an organism's body, mind or both due to internally present or created agents like auto immunity issues, congenital issues, nutritional absorption or imbalance issues, or unregulated lifestyle etc or due to external agents likes microbes, accidents or other environmental factors which lead to impairments that are acute, chronic or permanent in nature.

Disease conditions that arise due to internal agents
are well addressed with ayurveda, naturopathy, yoga, homoeopathy, diet therapy, aromatherapy, bach flower therapy and many other similar therapies that treat the body as a whole and thus called the holistic healing. These therapies also reduce the chance of severity of disease caused by impact of external agents. If severity of external agents has already occurred, Western medical system or so called "Allopathic System" do have some remedies and techniques to help, but with a long list of cautions, effects and side effects. Once brought in control, the system of life style management with holistic healing has to be brought in again for a permanent cure and a bring the organism back to the cycle of a meaningful life.

However, one must agree that with commercial focus and availability of good amount of money in the western medical system, the research in past few decades has been biased towards piece-meal healing techniques of Allopathy and due to this reason this system has taken a clear lead both in perception and reality for masses. The commercial focus has also lead to heavy monetization of diagnostic techniques that resulted in better disease diagnosis on one hand and malpractices in form of money trails and commissions on the other hand. If simple and old diagnostic techniques based on pulse examination, stethoscopic examination, body types and signs observations are learnt well by the physicians and given preference with limited and conscious use of gadgets and machines, the days of low cost treatments with quick and permanent health cure with holistic health can be brought back.
