Ayurveda is a 5000 year old system of natural healing.
That still doesn't make it fact.
The mere fact that it is 5000 years old and not derived from scientific methodology should be cause for concern......
http://www.quackwatch.com/04ConsumerEducation/chopra.htmlProponents state that ayurvedic medicine originated in ancient time, but much of it was lost until reconstituted in the early 1980s by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Its origin is traced to four Sanskrit books called the Vedas-the oldest and most important scriptures of India, shaped sometime before 200 B.C.E. These books attributed most disease and bad luck to demons, devils, and the influence of stars and planets. Ayurveda's basic theory states that the body's functions are regulated by three "irreducible physiological principles" called doshas, whose Sanskrit names are vata, pitta, and kapha. Like astrologic "signs,"
these terms are used to designate body types as well as the traits that typify them.
I'll stick to science.......

it is science..............0 -
I do not think science means what you think it means.
i.e. believing something with no supporting proof because something is 5000 years = not science.0
