In the postmodern age, the popularity of this vibrant tradition of Ayurveda lies in its subtle yet scientific approach to heal a person in its totality. It aims not only at healing the body, but also the mind and spirit, at one go. Its unique understanding of the similarities of natural law and the working of human body, as well as its holistic treatment methods, help it to strike a balance between the two. This gives Ayurveda an edge over other healing systems. Perhaps the reason why: Ayurveda is considered to have the longest unbroken medical tradition in the world, today.
