Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine focusing on balancing the body's energies, or doshas, through personalized approaches like herbs, diet, and lifestyle modifications. Integrative Medicine combines conventional healthcare with complementary therapies to promote holistic well-being, addressing physical, emotional, and mental health. Both prioritize natural methods, prevention, and individual-focused care, aiming to enhance overall health and prevent disease rather than just treating symptoms. While Ayurveda emphasizes traditional practices rooted in centuries-old knowledge, Integrative Medicine seeks to create a collaborative approach, integrating scientific evidence with complementary therapies for comprehensive patient care.
