A Charlebs' post on another thread inspired me to think about how our body and mind shouldn't be submitted to unnatural, unhealthy, processes in the name of immediacy.
Right now a teacher of mine is constantly speaking about how homeopathy and natural therapeutic processes are far more efficient than just giving strong psychotropics to mental patients. He also gave examples of how great personalities went through processes that today all they were going to get was sedated the heck outta them.
Not to mention psychotropics (and all other medicines) are usually launched in a congress made by the pharmceutical companies themselves that invite doctors to fancy places and pay everything to them, it's sheer bribery.
It's a shame that people ignore the fact that mentally self-knowledge is the ultimate answer, but well, just like it's ignored that a disease is not to be treated reactively, instead the cause of the imbalance should be dealt with. Perhaps it's because of a society that tolerates nothing but instant reward, slow processes are a thing of the past. Tell me about cultivating an unhealthy habits.
If someone has anything to add on this subject, specially regarding Ayurveda, it would be nice. I'm yet to read the book 'Ayurveda and the Mind: the healing of consciousness' by David Frawley.
