What makes Ayurveda different from Allopathic Medicne

While Allopathic medicines excel in emergency medicine, it does not offer a complete cure for any disease.It only offers a temporary symptomatic relief from the disease.But Ayurvedic medicine offers symptomatic relief as well as a complete cure for most of the diseases.
For instance, if a patient comes up with a headache , the Allopathic medicine gives a headache reliever.That is , they treat the symptom. While Ayurveda has a more holistic approach. It treats the cause of the disease, that is ,it treats the patient as a whole, such that the causative factor is permanently removed so as to ensure the patient does not get the attack a second time.
Moreover , Allopathic Medicine has only a therapeutic use, while Ayurveda outdoes Allopathic Medicine, since Ayurveda describes not only Therapeutic Medicine but also explains good lifestyle practices to maintain a healthy body and mind.

Ayurvedic Beauty Care

Beauty care can be associated with man ever since he was created. The quest for remedies for everyday beauty chores never ends , and hence the importance of Ayurvedic beauty treatments.
The beauty of the body depends largely on the food we eat. Faulty dietary habits causes the aggregation of 'ama' or toxins in the body of the individual, which may hamper with the internal and external balance of the body.The road to a beautiful and healthy body largely depends on the dietary habits.Moreover a sound mind devoid of anger ,tension and anxiety is a must for maintaining health, youth and beauty.
