One of the oldest comprehensive medical systems in the world, Ayurveda has its origins in India. Ayurveda was the sole form of conventional medicine that people relied on in the past.
Due to people turning more and more to alternative therapeutic methods that have no side effects, contemporary pharmaceuticals are still in decline. The demand for Ayurvedic professionals is growing along with the trend towards Ayurvedic medications.
As a result, Ayurvedic courses have come back to life and are now one of the professions that candidates choose to get the opportunity of a wide range of job options.

No Naturopathy and Ayurveda aren't same even if both vibe with natural healing. They've got totally different mindsets and methods.
Naturopathy is more like 'let your body do its thing'. It focuses on self-healing, lifestyle changes, and stopping sickness before it starts.
Ayurveda is OG Indian system. It's all about balancing three doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. When those go off balance, that's when health problems kick in.
