As one of the negative effects of globalization the health sector is undergoing industrialization and commercialization. Health is considered as a commodity (which is the product of health industry) to be purchased by patients. As an economic entity this industry needs to expand its market (i.e. increase the total number of patients with ability to purchase) Market law of supply/demand may work for boosting demand. After all a patient is a customer!
But the truth is that ill health/disease is a deviation from the natural state i.e. health/ease. Yet it should be remembered that health/ease is not a static equilibrium but a dynamic one in which minor fluctuations should not be encountered over anxiously. Health/ease can be maintained/regained in almost all cases by diet regulations, herbal food additives, providing safe drinking water, guaranteeing clean air & environment, optimum of physical exercises, creative thinking & working, positive approaches, regulation of Vital radiations (Pranayama), meditation or prayer according to the belief system of the person.
