There's a lot of differences in its theory an philosophy, but I think the biggest one is that Ayurveda is a primarily preventative medicine, whereas western modern medicine is focused on curing diseases that have already manifested. Or, to say it another way, if your health is a house, Ayurveda is the homeowner/architect that lays a strong foundation and methodically building the house with quality materials and with consideration of its environment, then doing regular maintenance that increases its re-sale value and longevity. Whereas, in that scenario, western medicine is the repairman that fixes the leaky pipes and broken windows as they happen.
