What Ayurveda Is, and What Ayurveda Isn’t

"What Ayurveda Is, and What Ayurveda Isn’t" highlights common misconceptions about Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a holistic, preventative health system that addresses the root causes of diseases, rather than merely treating symptoms. It emphasizes the importance of understanding one's unique constitution beyond just identifying with a single dosha and promotes a nuanced approach to diet and lifestyle changes. Ayurveda is a comprehensive, individualized health practice that encourages self-awareness and self-care, contrasting with the simplistic and often misinterpreted practices popularized in Western contexts.
