10 Benefits of Ayurvedic Medicine: Why You Should Consider It for Your Health

Honestly, there are more than a million reasons ‘Why you should try Ayurvedic medicines’. But the decades of negative portrayal and myths around its magic smeared the reputation of our ancient medical culture. The sceptics and cynics have doubted the effectiveness and safety of Ayurvedic practices for eons.

Science too proves that Ayurveda is one of the best forms of medicine. 

Ayurveda is more of a lifestyle, rather than a symptomatic treatment. It has a holistic approach to health that helps restore balance in your body. Today, Ayurveda is the most preferred treatment option across the globe for long-term relief without side effects. 

Ayurvedic Medicines – The most trusted system of treatment

The ancient treasures of Ayurveda have a 5000-year-old history for efficacy. Most of Ayurvedic texts are at least two to three millennia ago. So, all the Ayurvedic remedies are time-tested for generations. There are thousands of testimonies to verify their safety and efficacy! 

Ancient sages used 100% herbal and natural ingredients for making Ayurvedic medicines. Hence, they are completely free from any adverse effects. It’s true, some formulations use naturally occurring metals, but they are safe under doctor’s recommendation. 

Research says Ayurvedic medicine may provide more permanent and holistic relief when compared to modern medicines in certain ailments. Ayurvedic treatments for infertility, diabetes, arthritis, pain relief, stress relief etc. are gaining ground across the globe!

10 Reasons to trust Ayurvedic medicines

1. Ayurveda Is A Comprehensive Cure

Modern medicines focuses on symptom management. They suppress the symptoms rather than correcting the underlying impairment. This may provide quick relief but fails to offer a permanent solution.

Also, modern medicine fails to consider the long-term impacts of the medicines. This is one of the biggest factors for which people are now turning to Vedic healing.

An ayurvedic doctor follows a detailed process of understanding the individual before prescribing any medicines. The Ayurvedic practitioner studies the patient. Based on all these factors, Vaidya designs a very individualistic treatment. Thus, Ayurvedic treatments offer comprehensive cures.

2. Ayurveda Treats All Diseases as Psycho-Somatic

Ayurvedic philosophy says no disease is 100% physical or psychological in nature.

Ayurveda believes that an individual’s mental and physical state are interlinked. Hence, Ayurvedic treatment always involves understanding the mental conditioning and physical manifestations. For example, stress can be a cause of pain or fatigue. Depresson can be the cause of loss of appetite, sleeplessness or indigestion. 

However, modern medicine always segregated the mind and body into different compartments. But recent researches are inclining towards the Ayurvedic philosophy. That most diseases are psychosomatic in nature!
