Ayurveda means knowledge of life and can sometimes be referred as life science or the science of life. It is considered holistic, alternative therapies or medicine and originated in India thousands of years ago. Ayurveda can be utilized as preventive practice and not a definite cure for disease. Just as herbalism, naturopathic, allopathic or any other established systems of care cannot guarantee the cure of a disease, especially determining its stages, the same applies to Ayurveda. It is best to practice healthy applications in life regardless of your system of belief for better personal experiences. Practices may include healthy, natural ingredients according to personal needs, stage of life and development, state of health and allergic considerations of the body among other actualities. Alternative therapies can be practiced without rejecting allopathic medicine. Alternatives can be utilized as a care practice along with relationship to allopathic medicine under the care of a physician when it’s suitable and it’s most helpful and safest when an individual informs all of their health specialists about care practices. An individual is responsible for determining physician visits because only they can know their own body. Surely, visiting a physician is best if there’s illness/peculiarity of the body and someone else suggests an individual seek a physician’s care as well.
Herbalism, also referenced as herbal medicine, phytomedicine or phytotherapy is the study of plants and additional natural substances as possible sources for support in health or treatment. Just as any intake of food or substance to the body, one takes into account their overall health, reactions (there may be undesirable reactions to allopathic medicine as well) and needs with a realistic view in order to benefit from herbal practices.
Naturopathic medicine is an arrangement of practice that if presented properly advocates preventive applications to maintain good health. In order to administer any type of medication, a practitioner’s educational path may lead to becoming a naturopathic physician. If not, educating and consulting will be the most likely engagement. If accreditation is requested, globally, governmental, educationalized departments may differ in their requirements for accrediting agencies and governmental, educationalized departments may or may not be the most ideal for determining approval of agencies that are established for natural/alternative therapy and medicine. Hence, sometimes possibly leading to arguments and confusion between conventional and natural/alternative sectors of education. This being said, there’s no disdain toward governmental, educationalized departments, yet the nature of some institutions and practices, and where they are derived from doesn’t necessarily constitute conventionally standard processes.
Allopathic or modern medicine is primarily that of pharmaceuticals created in laboratorial environments. Physicians of modern medicine do not necessarily denounce natural ways of maintaining good health. Many physicians may encourage their patients to stay hydrated with water, practice cleanliness, exercise and monitor their bodies as well and may recommend vitamins/natural elements or more natural diets for care regimens. Advancements in healthcare and modern medicine are of consideration, just as the more natural/alternative approaches. Individuals benefit from less invasive surgical procedures, quicker outpatient experiences and so on because of modern techniques. It’s also taken into account, that at one time, all practitioners and physicians relied on the majority of natural and integrative methods until the development of extensive industries and technologies’ emergence.
In Ayurvedic Living, ways in considering and maintaining good health, may be by practice of moderation and balance with the food and substance intake of the body, practicing stillness of the mind through yoga, and meditation and mindfulness to develop attention and awareness, by doing so, experiencing clearness of the mind, calm emotions and a stable state.
