Traditional Indian Medicine - Ayurvedic Medicine

Another ancient civilization that has practiced natural healing methods is India. This is referred to Ayurvedic medicine. It came from the Sanskrit words "ayer" (life) and "veda" (science). 

Just like China, this has been written in their history books and has been passed on from one generation to another. It also shares a similar philosophy with that of Traditional Chinese Medicine as it treats sickness as an imbalance to the universal interconnectedness of a person. To regain this balance, it prescribes diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and compound herbs.


This also includes the practice of:
  • Yoga
  • Detoxification
  • Ayurvedic herbs
  • Ayurvedic diet

It involves a combination of treatment techniques that include both Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine and Conventional Diagnosis Techniques to properly assess a person's condition.
