AYURVEDA Ayurveda is the most ancient and venerated of all medical systems. It is one of the most important health systems in India and it has attracted increasing attention form the West. While it is commonly accepted that Western medicine had it roots in Greek thought and practice, it has been shown that Greek medicine relied heavily on knowledge from the East ands India. There are those who suggest that Hippocrates, considered to be the father of Western medicine, based his medical knowledge on Ayurveda. 
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda comes from the two Sanskrit words, ayur meaning life, and Veda meaning knowledge. What is the history behind it? Ayurveda is thought to have appeared in India more than 5,000 years ago. It emerged from an ancient body of knowledge called the Vedas. In fact, Veda is the Sanskrit word for knowledge. From these Vedas, India developed its moral, religious, cultural, and medical codes. Many of the beliefs and practices of Ayurveda are similar to those of ancient Chinese medicine.

 What is the evidence?
Although Ayurveda has been largely untested by Western researchers, there is a growing interest in integrating some parts of the system into modern medical practice. Some early studies suggest Ayurveda may have potential therapeutic value. Are there any possible problems or complications?
These substances may have not been thoroughly tested to find out how they interact with medicines, foods, or dietary supplements. Even though some reports of interactions and harmful effects may be published, full studies of interactions and effects are not often available. Because of these limitations, any information on ill effects and interactions below should be considered incomplete. Some aspects of Ayurveda, such as bloodletting and inducing vomiting, can be harmful. Many people with cancer already have low blood cell counts as a result of the disease itself, and removing additional blood can worsen fatigue and other symptoms. Inducing vomiting can cause imbalances of electrolytes (salt and minerals) in the blood. In addition, the potential interactions between Ayurvedic herbal preparations and conventional drugs and other herbs should be taken into consideration. Some of these combinations may be dangerous. Always tell your doctor and pharmacist about any herbs you are taking. Ayurveda should be delivered by a trained therapist.
