Can a doctor practicing modern medicine study Ayurveda? How would it help him?
A doctor working in any kind of medical system can study Ayurveda and integrate it into his practice. Ayurveda, which employs a holistic approach to healing covers all the aspects of human anatomy with a wisdom that is more than 5000 years old. Ayurveda deals with a patient’s problem in its entirety; not just the external physical symptoms of an illness. Therefore a doctor of modern medicine or any other system will be greatly benefited by integrating Ayurveda into his practice. Integrating the concept of an individual’s personal constitution type and special diets and lifestyle changes with modern prescriptions can aid in a patient’s overall recovery process.
