What is the difference between Ayurvedic Medicine and allopathic medicine?
Ayurvedic medicine is the 3,000 to 5,000 year old medicine from India. Its sister science is yoga. In ayurvedic medicine there are three energies, vata, pitta and kapha, made-up of air, wind, fire, water and earth elements in our universe. Some of us have predominately one energy, some two such as vata-pitta or vata-kapha. Less common, maybe ten percent, have all three energies, vata, pitta and kapha. You can take a questionnaire to estimate your energies or you can have an ayurvedic doctor read your pulse to precisely tell you your current energies and your birth energies. The key to good health is to have your current energies match your birth energies. In ayurvedic medicine, you can use foods, fasting, breathing techniques, yoga, herbs, sleep, exercise, colors, sounds, and more to balance your energies. Allopathic medicine is conventional western medicine where you treat the physical symptom that is presenting at the moment. It looks at each physical symptom as a separate symptom or illness. Ayurvedic medicine, homeopathic medicine, acupuncture & Oriental medicine and energy healing view humans as energetic beings; allopathic medicine treats the physical body.
