Ayurveda – the Vedic Science of Health, is being seen by many as
the leading mode of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
and Therapy in the future because of its comprehensive approach to the
mind-body system. In the ancient times Ayurveda was found effective
in inducing
k³y³kalpa
(transformation of a diseased or weak body into
a young vigorous one) and providing longevity of youthful health and
charm. The polluted environment and inability of people to stick to the
ascetic disciplines desired for
k³y³kalpa
certainly restrain such magical
effects in the modern times. However, the holistic healthcare and natural
healing offered by this ancient medical science continue to justify its
importance in several respects. Moreover,
yoga
is an integral part of
the total healthcare approach under this Vedic Science.
