Ayurveda – art of being, a documentary film by Pan Nalin, introduces viewers to an alternative approach to medicine, widely practiced in India that is Ayurveda. It was produced by Pandora Films in association with Monsoon Films.

The Ayurveda – art of being movie is 102 minutes long filmed entirely on locations in India, Greece & USA in the year 2001. The practice of Ayurvedic medicine as chronicled in Pan Nalim’s film suggests that Western medicine could learn a great deal from the traditional methods of the East.

Founded on the belief that human disease is cured by restoring an imbalance of individual life energies, Ayurveda supports diverse forms of treatment. It takes viewers on a tour of Ayurvedic medicine, with various doctors and medical practitioners sharing their thoughts on the principles behind their treatments, as well as recounting examples of patients who have been cured by Ayurvedic treatment even after conventional medicine failed.

Several segments of the film demonstrate the laborious procedures for collecting and preparing the natural ingredients, from minerals and plants, into various Ayurvedic compounds, some of which involve the use of gems and other precious stones integrated with astronomical data

Ayurvedic medicine being taken seriously is how it shows that massage and yoga exercises are an integral part of this healing tradition. Ancient ‘Mud-Scanning’ method of Diagnosis has been considered extinct and lost but the film successfully depicted it and where it is practiced.

Ayurvedic approaches work to awaken the mind by removing toxins from the body, while the main approach in Western medicine aims to quiet the mind by prescribing sedatives.
