Pune: At Medicover Hospitals, Pune, a groundbreaking approach to treating Achalasia Cardia—a rare disorder affecting the esophagus—has been successfully implemented. This condition, characterized by difficulty in swallowing both solid and liquid food due to a loss of muscular coordination, can severely impact a patient’s quality of life.
The philosophy of food as a means of survival, rather than indulgence, is deeply rooted in the teachings of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. As stated in Chapter 3, Verse 13:
“The pious persons who eat the leftovers of the yagya become free from all sins; but the sinful persons who cook food to satisfy their own senses, commit sins by eating it.”
This profound teaching underscores the importance of food as nourishment rather than mere sensory gratification—an essential aspect for those suffering from esophageal disorders like Achalasia Cardia, where even the act of swallowing becomes a challenge.
