WHO FIRST TOOK AYURVEDA GLOBAL DURING BRITISH RULE?

It was “NAVJIVAN” in 1923 that gave new life and meaning to Bharat's ancient medicine.

- Dr. Monica B. Sood

In a world brimming with the ever-accelerating progress of modern medicine, one name stands tall for rekindling the flame of ancient knowledge—Dr. Monica B. Sood. She is the visionary torchbearer of a legacy that began in 1923 when Dr. Amarnath Sood first ventured into uncharted waters, exporting Ayurveda to foreign shores—a time when the West was oblivious to the profound depth of India's indigenous science of healing. What began as an ambitious dream has now blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, with countless patients from over 40 countries turning to Ayurveda for relief, treatment, and hope.

Ayurveda, a term that today resonates with holistic health, stretches back not just 5,000 years, as commonly believed, but holds its roots in a time 80,000 years ago. The Bharata tribe, referenced in the ancient Rig Veda, practiced the healing arts using potent herbs and nature's bounty long before the Rig Veda was ever penned. This deep-seated tradition of healing is the foundation of what we now embrace as Ayurveda—a science born from the earth and woven into the very fabric of life.
