The difference in the principles of Modern
medicine and Ayurveda.
Ayurveda stands for the prevention and
maintenance of the Health as well as to treat the diseases affecting the Human body.
And also there is parallel branches like 'vruksha ayurveda' and 'mruga ayurveda'
in order to treat the plants and the animals respectively.
The preventive and maintenance methods of
ayurveda coming under the branch called ‘swasthavrutham’ and treating the
diseases under the ‘athura vrutham’.
Swasthavrutham explains about when to wake
up,how to do the morning ablutions,oil application,excercises,bath,how to
behave,how to live in the community amicably and lead a peaceful life.
The diet
and lifestyle according to the weather changes,precautions to be taken care
during different seasons,how to treat the common ailments due to the influence
of the seasonal changes etc.
Ayurveda says prevention is better than
cure.
‘Athuravrutham’ explains the properties of
the life forces,how it influence our body,different symptoms when it aggravates,decreases
and how it will be,when balanced.
How to treat the various stages of vitiation
of the life forces - by the five fold cleansing therapy and by Rejuvenating the body.
In ayurveda not treating the disease but
treating the body,cleansing,rejuvenating and hence improving the immunity of a
person.
It is not the treatment method but a lifestyle. We have to practice it
for life time,should know the dos and don'ts,different body type etc.
In modern medicine we find out the disease
and name it.
And treating that particular disease condition with chemically
derived combinations which gives fast relief but many cases gives rise to the
side effects.
The modern medicine developed a lot in last few decades as it gives
quick results.
In this fast moving life schedule many are forced to depend the
modern system of medications.
The after effects neglected usually.
In a
cardiac emergency or in an accident case such conditions the modern
medicine can be done a lot.
But people turning to ayurveda for the
chronic conditions like Rheumatic problems,skin diseases,asthmatic
conditions,Diabetes,Piles,Kidney
stones,infertility,acidity,migraine,sinus,allergies,gynecological disorders and
many lifestyle problems can be sort out with ayurveda support.
Ayurveda says,live in harmony with the nature then the disease is no more.
During the ayurveda consultation the
physician studies the nature of the body type,dominant life fores,imbalanced
states etc from the signs and symptoms.
For analyzing a patient ayurveda using tools like
‘darshana,sparshana and prashana’ means by seeing the patient,by touch and by
asking questions to the patient.
Here is a brief about the difference in the
views of ayurveda and modern medicine.
