Dr. Pati says Ayurveda has become one of the most important natural remedies among westerners, especially among Americans where people believe in natural organic and health foods. Ayurvedic Medicine works very well, when it is in standardized extract form and measured in milligrams. When active ingredients of a herb is extracted in high
concentration form and manufactured in capsules or tablets and measured in milligrams form, it works very well.
Dr. Pati is an authoritative, in Ayurvedic medicine and he claims, the earlier days, the activity of a herb procurement, preparation and dispensing remained mainly the responsibility of a practitioner and was on a one to one relationship between physicians and his patients It was a matter of sacred trust. However, the socio-economic changes in modern times, the technological advances, commercial factors, consumer preferences, changing lifestyles, etc. has influenced the way of Ayurvedic Drugs are being manufactured, marketed, distributed in U.S.A, Europe and Australia now.

As Dr. Pati was born in Balasore (Orissa), he approaches to Government of Orissa to pay more attention for the development (studies, research, manufacturing, exporting and treatment of Ayurvedic medicine) of Ayurvedic Medical Science in his own State where it is more neglected than rest of the country. For example, in a State like Kerala, 50% income of tourism is based on Ayurvedic Therapy, which is being offered to foreigners and local Indians. Why not in Orissa?
Orissa Government must recognize, it is a medical science and it is a big industry which has a domestic and export value. Approximately 3 yrs. back, Dr. Pati launched the largest Vitamins and Natural Supplements Store in Singapore’s Peninsula Shopping ctr. A special website could be found for this outlet www.firsthealthfoods.com

Ayurveda medicine is not only used for a cure, it is a preventative health care science.
