is allopathy english medicine - #25120

I am really confused about something. I’ve been dealing with some chronic headaches for like years now, and I finally went to see a doctor about it. They prescribed me some meds, which I found out are part of allopathy — is allopathy English medicine? I mean, the doctor said it’s scientifically backed and all, but I’ve read so much about Ayurveda and how it looks at things differently, right? I tried to talk to my friend who’s into natural healing about my prescriptions and she was like super against allopathy, saying it's just masking symptoms and not treating the root cause. But like, I don’t wanna be in pain! I don’t wanna just rely on allopathy forever, but I also don’t know how to switch to Ayurveda safely. Like do I just stop taking my meds and go for herbs instead? Would that even work? I’m feeling a bit lost here, honestly. Can you guys give me any insight about how allopathy and Ayurveda contrast, and if one is better for chronic issues? Need some help, like ASAP!
