Ayurvedic theory (5 elements etc...) is usless compared to modern science, so much that I dare to say it is wrong... Does it have predictive (and thus real explanatory) power? Imagine a test (other similar tests can be imagined): give some powder to a western chemist/biologist and an ayurvedic to examine its "elements". You are not allowed to feed it to any human or animal. Decide if it is poisonous! Who will be more successful? Ayurveda knows nothing about modern chemisrty or biology (real elements, cells,...), its theory part is rubish (from the perspective of natural science not from social science perspective (history, philosophy...) of course). You may trust its experimental results, but that is not science in itself just a tradition...
