In a globalised world, where you get an access to every regional knowledge, culture and lifestyle, it is only natural for a traditional regional healthcare system like Ayurveda to get identified by the people across the globe. There are other alternative medical systems too getting identified by the world in this era. Even the World Health Organisation has come up with a suggestion that the whole world should try to harness the potential of these alternative medical systems in order to create a healthier, better word.
Ayurvedic treatment, by many means, is different from other alternative medical treatments. The system takes a holistic approach to health, considering the well being of both body and mind. The medicines prescribed in Ayurveda are the products of research, experience and knowledge of thousands of years.
Some people consider Ayurveda as an obsolete medical system, incapable of keeping pace with the changing times. But Ayurveda is one of the most up-to-date medical systems in the world. The sages foresaw the necessity of the system to be frequently updated and you can see this aspect of Ayurveda in the books of one of its proponents, the great Vagbhata. The practitioners still follow the directives of proponents, so there are extensive researches done in Ayurveda which helped the system come up with medicines for many deadly diseases – be it in the ailments' beginning or later stages.
