Ayurveda Today |
|
| |
Medical science has created many types of chemicals to supposedly cure disease, but in reality they only suppress rather than deal with the disease. Ayurveda has evolved into a modern medical system aided by scientific research that has provided evidence of the effect of herbs on human health. Blending modern science with ancient wisdom, Ayurveda has proven the effectiveness of herbs to prevent and maintain the body’s immune system against disease. It is a holistic approach that is designed to help people live longer, healthier and a well balanced life. |
