Ayurveda is an ancient discipline of natural healing that has been in practise in India for several hundred years. It was the primary system of Medicare in the subcontinent till the advent of western medicine or allopathy in the last century. Yet Ayurveda remains the first choice medicine for millions of people in India, Srilanka, Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet etc even today.
In treating a lot of acute illnesses and surgical conditions, western medicine has progressed leaps and bounds in the past decades. It’s a testimony to the genius and perseverance of men that these modern discoveries have opened new vistas and multiple paths to address the varied health challenges that mankind face.

However in the case of a lot of chronic illnesses including autoimmune diseases and in many metabolic, musculoskeletal and neurologic conditions, Ayurveda eclipses western medicine hands down. While many of these conditions are presently classified as incurable and being studied and researched for a solution in western medicine, Ayurveda offers comprehensive cure which is far more profound and devoid of side effects.
The success of Ayurveda in curing many life style diseases and healing so called incurable conditions has helped grow the repute of Ayurveda across the globe. Ayurveda is not just a medical science but also a guide to physical, emotional and spiritual health and well being.

Today, Ayurveda is a multibillion dollar industry across multiple verticals.
For a seeker of true Ayurveda, it’s a huge challenge to differentiate or recognise the commercial and business entities in ayurveda (whose bottom line is just profit), from the genuine service providers and practitioners of traditional Ayurveda.
A criteria that one can look for is the year of establishment of the hospital or business. Most commercial entities have opened shop in the last 30 to 40 years, when ayurveda became a profitable industry. Before that it used be practised and propagated by people, who were mostly doing it out of their passion and devotion to the science.
Another criteria to look for is the people behind the institution. Most commercial ayurveda entities are owned and run by businessmen who have no background in ayurveda.
Government run ayurveda institutes are another option to receive genuine service and treatment. One just needs to look for the most competent and experienced physicians in such institutes as there will be hundreds of amateur doctors too plying their trade at these hospitals.
We have enlisted five of the top Ayurveda Places that offer the best treatment options in India.
Here are the Top Best Ayurveda hospitals in India.
