Ayurveda treatment and Herbal treatment are two types of treatment used in the cure of various diseases. Ayurvedic treatment involves various methods such as palliative treatment, purification treatment, fasting, urine therapy, rasayana therapy, fish therapy and the like, whereas herbal treatment involves home remedies and natural treatments.

Home remedies made at home from natural ingredients like herbs, vegetables, fruits come under herbal treatment. It is believed that herbal treatment is not usually accompanied by side effects to a great extent. This is due to the absence of chemicals in the herbs used in herbal treatment.

Kitchen is the best place to begin home herbal treatment. Herbal treatment is used in the treatment of Acne, Arthritis, Constipation, Body odor and perspiration, Cough, Common cold, Asthma, Dandruff, Depression and the like. Herbal treatment is still used in the curing of diabetes too.

Herbal treatment, otherwise called as Herbalism is a traditional folk medicine practice by using plant extracts. Herbal treatment consists in the use of extracts from parts of plants such as roots or leaves. There are many forms by which herbal medicine can be administered. Herbal wine is an alcoholic extract of herbs with ethanol content. Sometimes extracts of herbs are mixed with honey as a kind of treatment. A number of plants are used in the treatment of various diseases. These plants include garlic in the treatment of infection, Konjac for cholesterol reduction, sweet sagewort for curing cancer, cannabis for pain relief, Hawthorn for nervous tension, Meadowsweet for fever, Peppermint for Bowel Syndrome, Catnip for curing coughs and Poppy seeds for relieving pain.

Ayurveda believes in the massage treatment by which the body of the human body gets massaged by using oil. The body and the mind get relieved of tension and other ailments too by means of massage. Ayurveda considers Sesame oil as the best oil fir for massage. Sometimes mustard oil is also used in body message. This oil is used preferably in the winter season. Mustard oil is not used in massage during summer. On the other hand, herbal treatment does not believe in massage of the body.

Ayurveda believes in fish therapy in the curing of Asthma. According to Ayurveda, the fish carrying the medicine can go down the throat quite easily and it cleanses the alimentary tract where mucus and phlegm get accumulated. The mucus and phlegm cause Asthma.

Ayurveda emphasizes the balance of three elemental energies in the human body, namely, vata or air, pitta or water, kapha or phlegm. All the three should strike a perfect balance within the human body to ensure good health. Ayruveda treatment primarily concentrates its methods to set right the imperfect balance of the three elemental energies in the human body. This is the secret of Ayurveda treatment. These are the differences between Ayurveda treatment and herbal treatment.
