Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system of medicine that is more than 3000 years old, consisting mostly of a specific diet, oily infusions mainly in the area of the head, enemas, medicinal plants and yoga. It is based on a naturopathic and anthropological belief in association with the hinduistic religion. Ayurveda has been practiced very successfully in India but so far it has only been insufficiently appreciated by western medicine, especially psychiatry. An exception is Scharfetter from Zürich who wrote a review article on this topic in 1976. Nevertheless, it is probable that particularly the immunological mechanisms of psychotic and affective disorders can be influenced by the application of ayurvedic methods; however, the empirical data source, particularly with respect to randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses regarding psychiatric disorder symptoms is limited. Even if Ayurveda is applied in a highly individualized manner, this should be rapidly improved for further evidential assessment. First positive experiences in the neuropsychiatric field in Germany are already available.
阿育吠陀是一种有着3000多年历史的传统印度医学体系，主要包括特定饮食、主要对头面部进行的油疗、灌肠、药用植物和瑜伽。它基于一种与印度教相关的自然疗法和人类学信仰。阿育吠陀在印度一直应用得非常成功，但到目前为止，它在西方医学，尤其是精神病学中尚未得到充分重视。苏黎世的沙费特是个例外，他在1976年写了一篇关于这个主题的综述文章。然而，很可能特别是精神病性和情感性障碍的免疫机制会受到阿育吠陀方法应用的影响；然而，经验数据来源，尤其是关于精神障碍症状的随机对照试验和荟萃分析方面是有限的。即使阿育吠陀是以高度个体化的方式应用，为了进一步的证据评估，这也应该迅速改进。德国在神经精神领域已经有了一些积极的经验。
