Ayurveda is one of the oldest medical institutions in the world. The word Ayurveda, which is similar to Ayurveda, is that branch of science which deals with keeping the human body healthy, getting relief from the disease or alleviating it and increasing the life span. Its history starts from the vedic period in India when the brahmacharis (the saints and the scholars of the vedas) and the Vedyas (who studied ayurveda and made medicine using the plant : simply old vedic period doctors). #ayurveda vs allopathy debate #ayurveda vs allopathy quora#

It's believed that initially Ayurveda was being used & developed in the ancient periods by the people of India  widely. This has got the support by the proof and manuscripts found. Also the veds are one of the most old aged books that were written around 6000 BCE. The vedas contain four parts : Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda. Ayurveda has got its validation in  Atharvaveda (in the samahita).

According to the Atharvaveda : Ayurveda is a technique to balance our lifestyle and way to living to standardize it. The slok  (sanskrit sentences are called sloks) is :

 " स्वस्थस्य स्वस्थ्य रक्षणम्, आतुरश्च विकार प्रशमनम् "

" SWASTHASYA SYASTHYA RAKSHANAM, AATURASHCHA VIKAR PRASHAMANAM "

This means to preserve the health of a healthy person and treat the ailments with causative factor of pathogenesis. This slok was written around 1000 BCE and describes the motto of Ayurveda.

What is Allopathy ?

Allopathy on other hand is the wonder of modern science. Allopathy has its major roots form 1800s when the term Allopathy was termed by Samuel Hahnemann. Allopathy means a system of medical practice that helps to figure out the disease and deals with it . Allopathy's most remarkable identity is the colorful medicines and the strips of medicine. Yes it's somehow very much true that Allopathy deals with drugs and chemical (pharmaceutical companies ).


 Comparison :

Ayurveda is different from modern medical science in the sense that it lacks scientific method due to which the Indian Medical Association and other doctors consider Ayurveda as pseudoscience or protoscience.

Ayurveda is a part of Indian culture that has its existence in India but may be not as it was to be but the Vedas carry the information about in them, which still can be used for modern periods.

Ayurveda is much more effective than the medicine that contains drugs (allopathy). As human body is part of nature and is made of organic matter, so it well percept the effects and the ayurvedic medicine as they are also made up of organic substances such as plant roots aur plant leaves etc. 


In earlier periods Ayurveda was one of the best medical therapies that was being used by the people. But by the passing of time their stands its competitor, ALLOPATHY.
