Ayurveda follows a holistic approach, treating the root cause of diseases through natural remedies, herbal medicines, and lifestyle modifications.
It emphasizes balancing the body's doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and promotes preventive care. In contrast, modern medicine (Allopathy) focuses on symptom management, using synthetic drugs and surgeries for quick relief. Ayurveda is slow-acting but long-lasting, while modern medicine provides faster results but may have side effects.
