Which Disease Is Best Treated by Ayurveda? - #17676

I’ve been exploring natural healing methods and wondering—which disease is best treated by Ayurveda? I know that Ayurveda focuses on balancing the body’s doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and addressing the root cause of illnesses rather than just managing symptoms. But I’m curious, which health conditions respond best to Ayurvedic treatments compared to modern medicine? From what I’ve read, Ayurveda is highly effective for chronic diseases that don’t always have a permanent cure in allopathic medicine. Conditions like digestive disorders (IBS, acid reflux, constipation), arthritis, skin diseases (eczema, psoriasis), and hormonal imbalances (PCOS, thyroid issues) seem to be managed very well with Ayurveda. Does this mean that Ayurveda can offer long-term relief from these conditions rather than just suppressing symptoms? One area where I’ve seen Ayurveda recommended a lot is joint pain and arthritis. Ayurvedic treatments like Panchakarma detox, Abhyanga (oil massage), and herbal formulations like Guggulu and Shallaki are said to help in reducing inflammation and pain naturally. But can Ayurveda actually reverse arthritis or just slow its progression? Another condition I’ve heard Ayurveda works well for is digestive disorders. Since gut health is a major focus in Ayurveda, it seems like conditions such as IBS, bloating, acidity, and chronic constipation can be managed effectively with Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala, Ajwain, and Hing. If the root cause of digestive issues is a weak Agni (digestive fire), does it mean Ayurveda can completely heal these problems with the right diet and lifestyle? I’m also interested in knowing how Ayurveda helps in treating skin diseases like eczema, acne, or psoriasis. Since these issues are often linked to Pitta imbalance and excess toxins in the body, does Ayurveda focus more on internal detoxification rather than just applying topical creams? Would Panchakarma or blood-purifying herbs like Neem and Manjistha work better for long-term skin healing? Some people also say that Ayurveda is great for mental health conditions like stress, anxiety, and depression. Since it includes mind-body practices like yoga, meditation, and herbal adaptogens like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, can it be a better long-term solution for mental health than relying on medications? If anyone has successfully treated a disease with Ayurveda, I’d love to hear your experience. What condition did you have, and what Ayurvedic treatments worked for you? How long did it take to see results? I really want to understand which diseases Ayurveda treats best and whether it can offer lasting relief compared to modern medicine.
