They are Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Kathak, Bharatnatyam, and Odissi.

Ayurvedic medicine is a type of conventional Indian medicine that emphasizes mental, physical, and spiritual harmony. The body may spontaneously mend itself when these regions are appropriately balanced. Instead than treating sickness, the main focus of this treatment is to promote good health. This being said, the therapy is often sought after for specific health problems including tinnitus, indigestion, and psoriasis. Herbal remedies, yoga, prescribed meals, massage, and other practices are only a few of the methods used in ayurvedic treatment. In India and Nepal, around 80% of residents utilize it.

For me, competency standard 12.3 was the most relevant because it talks about high ethical standards and principles which are very important for migrant and refugee people. This domain teaches us about a complete care and treatment, and our focus should not be only on treating the symptoms. It would help me in providing good care to the patient and i would definitely involve the family because family can provide moral and emotional support to each other and the patient. I think just by having effective communication with respect and dignity, a special bond would be created between the clinician and the patient which will built a trust.
