Yoga and Ayurveda – The Science of Longevity



The era of millennium, which is totally dependent on technology started paying great attention for health and wellness. Finally, people regained their health consciousness owing to flock of lifestyle diseases and disorders, which is attached with the sedentary lifestyle that we derived from hi-tech world. I’m not blaming about technology and advancements, rather blaming on people who almost became a potato couch!

Natural healing, which is quite prominent in Ayurveda started giving a new life to the people of new age! Combined with the goodness of natural bliss and exclusive healing principles, Ayurveda, the pre-historic medication cures the health ailments leading to optimal health and wellness in a long run.

Majority of the diseases which has a cure in Ayurveda doesn’t just limit the scope of treatment to a single aspect. Ayurvedic treatment is a combination of natural remedies, Ayurvedic herbs, meditation, yoga and minor modifications in the lifestyle.

Irrespective of the severity of any disease, the combination of Ayurveda and yoga provides optimum cure! For instance, imagine the condition Hypothyroidism, characterized by absence or low level of thyroid secretion. This is a lifestyle disorder with no cure, where the people with Hypothyroid need to rely on medicine until the entire life. To the contrary, combined with a specific asana, Sarvangasana, called Shoulder stand and along with Ayurvedic recommendation of diet, the functions of thyroid glands get improved.



This is just an example of a disease that can be cured effectively. Similarly, consider diabetes. Simple yoga poses which has miraculous herbs in Ayurveda, say ginseng, cinnamon, etc can improve the blood sugar levels and diabetics can overcome their lifestyle disease with little effort.

As such, Ayurveda and Yoga are termed as sister science. Both these natural healing therapies complement each other for the wellness of mankind.
