Ayurveda is Adjective Medicine Written by John Joseph Immel, Asheville, NC

Ayurveda is adjective medicine. Western medicine is noun medicine. Feelings are adjectives. Adjectives describe the whole body but nouns describe the parts. Ayurveda is holistic medicine. Before Louis Pasteur invented the germ theory many diseases were named after feelings. Today they are named after pathogens. To find the old names of diseases turn back the clock to textbooks written during the Civil War. Ayurveda claims it's not medicine unless you can experience the benefits.
