India has a rich heritage of health care system in the form of Ayurveda continuously practiced since Charaka and Sushruta (500 B.C.). Ayurveda, the Science of Life, is a treasure house of knowledge for both preventive and curative healthcare. Sushruta defines Health as A complete harmony of functions between body, mind and soul. The concept of mind-body medicine is the very basis of Ayurvedic system of medicine. Panchakarma therapy helps in promotive, preventive & curative aspects of healthcare. Naturopathy is based on the principle - The healing power of nature. When given the proper natural condition, the human body has remarkable ability to heal itself of even most serious illness. Yoga promotes Spiritual Health and calms the mind and thus helps in management of Stress related ailments associated with modern hi-tech era.
