What is Ayurveda?

An all-natural medical system called Ayurveda was developed in India more than 3,000 years ago. The Sanskrit terms ayur (life) and veda are used to form the name "Ayurveda" (science or knowledge). Ayurveda, thus, means "knowledge of life." Ayurveda promotes specific lifestyle interventions and natural remedies to restore harmony between the body, mind, spirit, and environment because it bases its theory on the notion that disease results from an imbalance or stress in a person's consciousness.

Ayurveda treatment starts with an internal purification process, followed by a special diet, herbal remedies, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation.

In India, Ayurveda is considered a form of medical care, equal to conventional Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, naturopathic medicine, and homeopathic medicine. Practitioners of Ayurveda in India undergo state-recognized, institutionalized training. Currently, Ayurvedic practitioners are not licensed in the United States, and there is no national standard for Ayurvedic training or certification. However, Ayurvedic schools have gained approval as educational institutions in some states.

When combined with regular, conventional medical care as a supplemental therapy, ayurveda can be beneficial. In neither Western nor Indian study have many Ayurvedic materials been fully analysed. Some Ayurvedic medicine products contain herbs, metals, minerals, or other substances that could be hazardous if taken incorrectly or without the guidance of a qualified professional. As dietary supplements rather than therapeutics, ayurvedic medicines are not subject to the same safety and efficacy requirements as western pharmaceuticals in the United States. These drugs may interfere with or counteract the effects of western drugs. Look into the education and experience of the Ayurvedic doctors you plan to use.

What is homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a natural form of medicine used by over 200 million people worldwide to treat both acute and chronic conditions. It is based on the principle of ‘like cures like’. In other words, a substance taken in small amounts will cure the same symptoms it causes if taken in large amounts. For example, a patient suffering from hayfever may benefit from the homeopathic remedy Allium Cepa (onion) because it produces similar symptoms such as watery eyes or runny nose.

How Homeopathy helps?

One of the ways that Homeopathy helps is it is designed to treat the whole person and can be helpful in almost any situation where a person's health is depleted. It can also be very useful in the treatment of minor ailments, from cuts and bruises to coughs and colds.

Homeopathy can also helps with long-term problems. Homeopathic doctors often see patients with long-term, chronic problems, many of which have failed to respond to conventional medicine, such as arthritis, asthma, migraine, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, eczema and irritable bowel syndrome. A medical doctor trained in homeopathy will know when it is most effective to use homeopathic medicine, conventional medicine or a combination of both. As well as doctors there are nurses, midwives, dentists, vets, pharmacists, podiatrists and osteopaths, all using homeopathy in their daily practice.

What are homeopathic medicines made of?

Homeopathic medicines are made from small amounts of natural substances such as plants and minerals. Prepared in licensed laboratories, under strict control, they are usually taken as a tablet but are also available as liquids, powder or creams.

Is Homeopathy safe?

Homeopathy has been practiced worldwide for over 250 years. It is gentle and rarely causes side effects. This means it is suitable for adults, children and pregnant or breastfeeding women
