Accepted Answer

Yes: Aryurveda is an ancient form of medicine from india. It continues to be practiced today by alternative medicine practitioners. It has various classification types called doshas. It recommends certain lifestyle practices, certain foods as well as use of a variety of herbal medication. I have some concerns about some of these herbs particularly from overseas. They have contaminants.

Question 3

what should i eat in ayurveda?

Accepted Answer

YOU must decide: The Ayurveda is a remarkable compendium of ancient medical lore, but in today's era we cannot consider it evidence-based and at least some of it seems to be people's unreliable impressions. Life's too difficult already without your binding yourself too strictly to the educated guesses of prescientific people, though the community may offer you friendships and personal support.

Accepted Answer

East indian: This is a traditional medicine of the indian subcontinent with herbal medicines and surgical procedures. A central practice of ayurvedic medicine, hygienic living involves regular bathing, cleansing of teeth, skin care, and eye washing.  Up to 20% of herbal preparations have dangerous levels of heavy metals and other toxins.  I dont recommend it aslittle has had scientific verification.

Question 9

how does ayurveda help with rejuvenation?

Accepted Answer

Ayurveda may be: Harmful to your health. This hindu system of alternative medicine arose in india and commonly uses plant-based treatments and "medicines." however, us studies have found up to 20% of these ayurvedic indian-manufactured remedies can contain toxic levels of mercury, lead, or arsenic. Exercise, yoga, and meditation are less harmful aspects, and can lead to less life stress. Beware food additives/meds.

Question 10

does ayurveda really treat mental illness?

Accepted Answer

Too broad a question: There is no single mental illness. There are many mental disorders. More than 2000 years ago ayurvedic physicians in india  treated  psychosis/ schizophrenia  with a plant called rawulfia serpentina.  The main chemical of this plant is reserpine. In usa they treated schizophrenia  in 50s with reserpine. I will say thet ayurvedic medicine should  not  be your first choice for major mental disorders.
