Did you know these health benefits of Ayurveda?

A holistic approach to improve health, Ayurveda has been used as an alternative medicine since centuries in India.

In Sanskrit, ‘Ayur’ means life and ‘Veda’ means science or knowledge. So, Ayurveda means “The Knowledge or Science of Life”. Originated more than 5000 years ago in India, Ayurveda is a natural healing process that purifies our inner soul and creates a balance between our body, mind and spirit, which result in improving our overall health. This process follows a regular practice of yoga, meditation, massage therapy, herbal treatments and healthy diet etc.

Here are some amazing health benefits of practicing Ayurveda.
