Ayurveda is a holistic Indian medicine practice which is more than 5,000-years old. It helps find harmony not just using a diet but also a wellness regime. The word ‘Ayurveda’ is derived from two different words ‘Ayu’ and ‘Veda’. Ayu means life and Veda means science. Hence, Ayurveda means ‘science of life’ or ‘science longevity’. It is a system of nature cure that promotes positive health.

The best part of Ayurveda is that it cures the person and not the disease. The fast-paced world has separated humans from nature. We have lost the balance and to one way to regain it is to dive into a vast ocean of knowledge of Vedas or just lay down and let professional therapists heal your chakras with their magical hands. We are so occupied in our work and lives that the former seems a distant dream while the latter is quite feasible.

Our work and increased penetration of technology into our lives have deteriorated our mental and emotional state. And as they say, “Health is Wealth”, it is time that we start practising this ancient science for a healthier body and mind.
