Minister of Yoga Appointed in India
India is beginning to promote alternative therapies and home-grown health treatments for the people of their country. Health remedies and exercise are also being suggested that includes yoga. To that point they have appointed a Minister of Yoga.
The formation of the yoga ministry follows the government’s plan to regulate traditional drugs. The use of traditional medicine has already been promoted by the country’s most popular yoga guru, Swami Ramdev who sells ayurvedic medicines and holds yoga camps for thousands in India.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi says India’s ancestors made good health a part of their life and a larger awareness is needed for alternative health. Critics aren’t sure it is a good idea using traditional remedies over modern medicine.
