Are Ayurvedic principles in conformity with modern science?
Ayurveda philosophy evolved thousands of years ago. The scientific knowledge of human body was virtually non-existent then. The sages of the era, hypothesized about the body so that they could explain the diseases and develop a healing system. The ancient theory has been extremely useful in developing a healing system that proved its efficacy over thousands of years. Many practitioners of Ayurveda now acknowledge and benefit from modern theories.
