Introduction

Ayurveda is the life science. It is a medical system practiced in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal.

The influence of Ayurveda in the non Indo-European sphere began after the rise and spread of Buddhism in the 6th century B.C.E. Buddhist monks introduced Ayurveda to China, Tibet, Korea, Mongolia and Sri Lanka, leaving a lasting legacy in their medical systems.

Concept

Yoga is not limited to physical postures and fitness routines. Ayurveda involves the curing of physical disorders with herbal remedies. Both systems run into deeper spiritual levels, and if practiced properly, can lead to a state of complete balance at the physical, mental and spiritual levels. Not only are they similar, but they also supplement each other. Those practicing Yoga need to follow specific Ayurvedic diet programs and regimens according to their respective needs. Similarly, those on an appropriate diet and regimen need to practice yoga regularly to remain healthy.

Ayurveda is Safe

Ayurveda medicine, Panchakarma, and other therapies are very beneficial for patients suffering from chronic diseases. Ayurvedic preparations are safe as long as they are prescribed by a professional practitioner.
