If anyone asks what is the use of Ayurveda, you can say that it is an ancient medical treatment culture that exists here from the olden days. It has no side effects since all the medicines used are natural herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Unlike allopathic medicines used in western medicines, there are no side effects in Ayurvedic medicine. You can continue to have Ayurvedic medicines for a long time. This is not the case with the western medicine where you see toxins build up after two weeks of use.

High qualifications of the Ayurvedic practitioners

Ayurvedic doctors are full-fledged doctors who study for five-and-a-half years medicine and surgery. They undergo internship and study the Ayurvedic parallels in medical treatment alongside the study of anatomy, physiology, internal medicine, surgery, psychiatry, toxicology, and more.
