Ayurved is a complete and independent science by itself. It has its own concepts of human anatomy, physiology, pathology and treatment. Ayurvedic philosophy encompasses the living and the non-living. Ayurved, traditionally involves a holistic treatment of the human keeping its cosmic nature in mind.As ayurved has its own views about a diseases process, which is different from that proposed by modern medicine (allopathy), the treatment of a particular ailment is unique by itself. Allopathic medicine typically treats all individuals with the same disease exactly the same way. Allopathic physicians often prescribe a medication to alleviate physical symptoms. Ayurved looks at the root cause of the disease/illness and removes it from the body - specific to the patient. This will help prevent recurrent health problems and make the body strong enough to fight off disease.
