Differences Between Ayurveda And Homeopathy by Amit121(m): 9:56am On May 13, 2022
In the world, there exists more than one branch of medicine and each of them is very different from the other. Each branch has its prowess in a group of diseases and disorders. Just like the quintessential allelopathy, homeopathy and Ayurveda are also forms of medication. Homeopathy provides expert remedies and Ayurveda focuses on the complete wellness of the body (physically and mentally). We’re going to discuss the principal differences between homeopathy and Ayurveda

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda translates to, ‘The science of life’ and it has originated in the Indian subcontinent. Using the knowledge of Ayurveda a lot of modern treatment techniques have been developed over the centuries. Ayurveda developed in the Vedic period in India and it’s dependent on herbs and minerals in curing diseases. Apart from food, Ayurveda also encompasses fitness habits like massage, yoga, and meditation. Using Ayurveda products Sydney in curing diseases is a slow and steady process but there are no side effects.

What is Homeopathy?

Developed by the great German physician Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy is also an alternative form of medicine. The term homeopathy translates to ‘similar suffering’. The ailing person is exposed to similar diseases. In response, their immune system fights off the disease which results in a stronger immune system. Homeopathic medicines also act slowly and have no such side effects. The three guiding principles of Homeopathy are:

• Like cures like
• Minimum dosage
• Single remedy

The differences in their philosophy

According to Ayurveda, the health of the human body is chiefly dependent on the balance of three components: wind, bile, and phlegm. The imbalance in these life components is what causes diseases. Ayurveda has various disciplines of treatment including internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, psychiatry, toxicology, and aphrodisiacs.

But the philosophy of homeopathy is bent toward vitalism. According to the branch of homeopathy, external and internal causes disrupt the ‘vital force’ which is the reason for a person’s health deterioration. If you go to a homeopathy doctor in Sydney, they’ll try to decipher both your psychological and physical state to make decisions. The ‘like cures like’ principle directs that to cure a disease, a person needs to be treated with the medicine that produces the same symptoms of that disease.

The history of Ayurveda and Homeopathy

Ayurveda originated from the Indian Vedic text, Atharvaveda. The earliest known Ayurvedic manuscript can be dated back to the 4th century, known as the Bower Manuscript.

German physician Samuel Hahnemann invented homeopathy in the late 18th century. His research work on remedy formulas was published in Fragmenta de viribus (1805) and in The Organon of the Healing Art (1810). Over the years, homeopathy has been pursued by plenty of patients as a safer mode of treatment. But the whole subject of homeopathy was criticized by society including medical practitioners and teachers. This resulted in a termination of advocating homeopathy during the 1920s but homeopathy was again revived during the 1970s.

Preparation of medicine

Ayurvedic treatment is dependent on animal and plant extracts for both internal and external use. High potential minerals like copper, Sulphur, lead, and gold and animal products like milk, bones, and gallstones are mixed with herbal products for treatment.
Homeopathic medicines are made with diverse animal and plant extracts, synthetic materials, and mineral substances. A specific assortment of substances among these are diluted in alcohol or distilled water. After that, the mixture is shaken vigorously to make the solution homogenous; this process is known as succession.

What are the backlashes associated with homeopathy and Ayurveda?

There are quite a number of negatives and backlashes that these alternative forms of medicine have faced throughout the centuries. For this reason, even now both the branches are not considered fully dependent by the majority.

Ayurveda:

Scientists have criticized Ayurveda because of the lack of sufficient evidence or clinical trials of the drugs. Some sense that the mysterious herbs and minerals used to prepare Ayurvedic medicines are toxic.

Homeopathy:

Some physicians consider Homeopathy a deceptive branch of medicine. It is argued that there is almost no presence of the original substance in the drug as the drugs are severely diluted. The ‘cured’ is the cause of the placebo effect.

What are the similarities between homeopathy and Ayurveda?

First of all, both Ayurveda and homeopathy are considered alternative forms of medicine. Both of them are dependent on the usage of natural substances instead of harmful chemicals. Both Ayurvedic and homeopathic treatments take time to show signs of healing and they don’t have any side effects. Unlike allopathic treatment, both of them don’t focus on the current disease but the treatments consider the entire mental and physical well-being.

As homeopathy and Ayurveda seriously lacks when it comes to credibility, they’ve been criticized by many. Regardless of that, they’re both accepted by a smaller percentage of people and used for the treatment of all kinds of diseases.
