Ayurveda has been the science of life has been essential to our Indian civilisation for decades due to its health advantages. Our forefathers used Ayurveda to treat common colds, deadly fevers, dengue, and other chronic illnesses.
Ayurveda supports specific lifestyle adjustments and natural therapies to preserve a balance between the body, mind, spirit, and the environment you surround yourself with, based on the belief that disease is caused by an imbalance or stress in a person’s body.
On the other hand, Allopathic treatment (also known as Western Medicine) has become a profound and trendy field of medicine. It is based on running tests and gaining evidence of diseases in the body.
Allopathic medicines are widely beneficial for medical emergencies, where you are severely injured and recently had surgery that is indeed painful once the anaesthesia stops working.
Ayurveda or Allopathy
There is always a disagreement about the efficacy of Allopathy and Ayurveda. However, a conclusion on the subject is still pending. Allopathic medicine considers sickness as an attack on the body. Ayurveda, on the other hand views disease as imbalance in the body. Allopathy views treatment as a defense mechanism whereas Ayurveda views it as restoring the lost balance.
Allopathy is highly effective in achieving accurate test results such as blood count, the presence of sugar, vitamins, minerals, bone, or brain scanning. Even some ayurvedic doctors may advise you to present your test reports to understand your condition and prescribe medicines accordingly.
We can’t deny that there has been an increase in the life expectancy of humans after the introduction of Allopathy. Still, the rise of various diseases due to Allopathy can also be denied.
On the other hand, Ayurveda can have positive effects when used as a complementary therapy in combination with standard, conventional medical care.
Conclusion
Though Ayurveda and Allopathy view the human body differently, but their end goal is common. The end goal of both the house of treatments is to to ensure the quality of life.
Ayurveda and Allopathy have influenced the life of humans to a great extent in their ways.
