Chapter 13: Ancient and Modern Medicine

Ancient medicine, like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), offers holistic approaches to health that address the mind, body, and spirit. Modern medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases with scientific methods. Integrating both approaches can provide comprehensive care. Mindfulness plays a role in both ancient and modern medicine, supporting stress reduction, healing, and patient empowerment. Combining these practices promotes overall well-being.
