Once considered with disdain, the exciting discoveries being pioneered by leading research scientists are proving that Ayurveda-with its emphasis on health as well as disease-is probably the world's most holistic health system. As allopathic drugs extract a heavy toll in costs and side effects, more and more people worldwide are turning to complementary medical systems like Ayurveda.
