Integrating Ayurveda and Allopathy for Heart Care
Dear Doctors, how can one meld Ayurveda and Allopathy in caring for the heart? Thank you very much!
From our research on Ayurveda and allopathic medicine, they obviously can be combined. Ayurvedic ways of living are wonderful to prevent diseases, which is a simple life with exercise, healthy, steamed vegetables, etc. etc. many of the supplements are good for prevention like for the early stages of diabetes and other diseases, but once you develop the disease, unfortunately Ayurveda alone will not be able to improve it by itself as there are very limited clinical studies. So at that time, you will need to add medications, but still practice some of the Ayurvedic principles. We are actually planning to do a talk on Aurveda and Allopathy in the future. Hope that answers your question.
