How is Ayurveda different than Western Medicine?
One major difference is that in Ayurveda, the responsibility for health is fully shared with the client. Ayurveda approaches each person as unique,and believes that they hold the keys to their own healing. A practitioner determines each client’s unique “prakruti”, or constitution (body/mind type), and “vidruti” or current state of imbalance, then works with them to create a highly individual plan to assist that patient to her or his unique state of health and well being.
