» What are Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation?
The origins of Yoga and Ayurveda can be found in ancient India.
The two share a common language and common goals - to enhance the
well-being of body, mind and spirit. Traditionally, yoga and meditation
deal with the spiritual side of life while Ayurveda deals with both
physical and mental disease as well as with the prescription of
lifestyle regimens.
Ayurveda could not be more appropriate for present-day Western society,
where so many people suffer from stress-related conditions which
conventional medicine has been unable to remedy. It is the oldest
healing system known and also the most complete. Its logical, commonsense
approach to health and living is combined with philosophy, psychology
and spiritual guidance. Ayurveda has an armory of physical treatments
from medication to massage, yoga, cleansing and detoxification programmes,
and remedies for many disorders.
