Ayurveda - Sowkhya

Ayurveda is one of the few systems of medicine developed in ancient times that is still widely practiced in the modern era. Although there are wide claims and counterclaims to its efficacy and current status in modern medicine, Ayurveda can be considered to be a general guide to good health and practices while looking at the body with a holistic approach. Modern medicine has no cure or treatment for neurological disorders and most of the treatment provided is symptomatic. With Ayurveda, patients are looking at a support system of building up immunity and also help in conjunction with physiotherapy in the form of treatment, like various massages, topical applications and oral medications and a selective diet based on the condition of the patient.
