This document proposes an Indo-Welsh joint project to revive the traditional medical practices described in the historic "Physicians of Myddfai" text by combining them with principles of Ayurveda. Previous attempts to revive the system focused only on a limited number of herbs and did not generate much interest. The new project would draw similarities between the Red Book and Ayurveda, adapt Ayurvedic medicines using local Welsh herbs, and revive the Physicians of Myddfai tradition integrated with Ayurveda. It outlines the project structure, staffing needs, promotional methods, and sustainable building design to establish an integrated health center combining Welsh and Indian traditional medical practices.
