Power of Ayurveda

Every since I was small, I have always been fascinated by yoga and ayurveda the greatest contributions from India... I always remember closely watching every program that detailed about it..Today all grown up, I am still fascinated by the science of ayurveda and how several centuries ago , Ayurveda has developed so many cures and lifestyles changes that could help tackle even the modern day diseases like Diabetics and how even the minutest of things that our forefathers did was governed by the science of Ayurveda .. Let me explain


People in those ages knew the art of portion control, the amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fats per meal, the concept of small regular meals, the idea of eating dinner early, eating seasonal produce, the idea of exercise... There is a lot ....It’s all there in ayurveda... No wonder the people from those centuries that no health issues well into their 90's

The only sad thing is that it took the westerners to recognize the power of yoga and ayurveda, for us Indians to appreciate its true value.

Today yoga and ayurveda is everywhere, there are several patented versions of it... But the true spirit of yoga and ayurveda is not a course of a 1 hour activity it’s a way of life...
Ayurveda never fails to amaze me even to this day , it plays a part in every day of my life knowingly or unknowingly .It helped my son recover from Eczema, it helped me get my health back on track, it helped me recover faster from my delivery , it helps my dad survive his neck pains ... the list continues ...
