Is Ayurveda helpful in treating disease and maintaining health?

The basic principle of Ayurveda is to prevent and treat illness by maintaining balance in the body, mind, and consciousness through proper diet, and lifestyle, as well as herbal remedies.

“Being a full [traditionally understood and used] system, ayurveda works with the etiology and pathology of disease [according to ayurvedic beliefs and understandings] to treat diseases.”

When a person is imbalanced (physical, mental or spiritual health), they’re likely to develop disease. Ayurveda focuses on recommending lifestyle, diet and natural treatments, therapies and remedies to provide balance among your physical body, mind, spirit and the world around you.
