Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam
The whole world is my family.
AAAP follows this loving-inclusive Vedic philosophy by welcoming professionals like attorneys, accountants, IT professionals, marketing experts, researchers, scientists, etc. both on the BOD and in membership.
Satya
Truth.
AAAP follows this loving-inclusive Vedic philosophy by welcoming professionals like attorneys, accountants, IT professionals, marketing experts, researchers, scientists, etc. both on the BOD and in membership.
The first truth or rule in health care is “First, do no harm.” Which means protecting the public or consumers. In the field of Ayurveda, the best way to protect consumers is to educate them about various levels of Ayurvedic medical training and various levels of expertise of the Ayurvedic health care providers. This empowers consumers to make informed choices regarding what level of Ayurvedic expertise they would like to use for their health care. Consumers should not be misled to believe that all providers have the same Ayurvedic medical training and expertise.
Established in the above truth, AAAP educates consumers about the various levels of Ayurvedic medical training and helps consumers make informed choices regarding what level of Ayurvedic expertise they would like to use for their health care.
Consumers can get valuable wellness benefits by using the services of Ayurvedic nutritionists, Ayurvedic therapists, Ayurvedic herbalists, Ayurvedic health counselors, Ayurvedic Yoga Therapists, and Bachelors in Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS). Consumers need to be informed about the training received by all the above Ayurvedic practitioners.
Ahimsa
Non-violence.
AAAP does not threaten any organization or feel threatened by any organization.
Asteya
Non-stealing.
AAAP does not compete with or steal from any organization. AAAP does not feel any organization is competing with AAAP.
