5000-year-old time tested science of life. And in its popularity lies the
fact that it is, today, one of the most preferred and favoured forms of
medicinal science.
The concepts of Ayurveda are not the result of a few years, but thousands
of years and more. Mentions and concepts of this ancient science can be
found in the Atharvaveda (2nd millennium BC). Ayurveda aims at the
spiritual, mental and social well being of an individual. It tries to create
a balance between the inside and outside of body.
Yoga comprises of Asanas (Postures) that have the power of invigorating the
internal organs resulting in an overall flexibility of the body. Yoga also
combines itself with some specific breathing techniques that are prescribed
depending on the physical status of a person.

ailments which might be considered incurable. Don't ever take the Ayurvedic
massages as a form of attaining pleasure. These massages combine specific

oils are prescribed only after the doctors conceive the requirements and the
present status of one's physical status.
