Ayurveda is referred as “The science of life”. It is an alternative medicine system considered as the oldest healing system with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. Ayurveda in India originated more than 5,000 years ago and it is often called as “the mother of healing”. It has its root in the ancient Vedic culture and was orally taught for thousands of years from accomplished masters to their disciples. The real classical Ayurveda texts begin with accounts of the transmission of medical knowledge from the Gods to Sages and then to human practitioners. In Sushruta compendium, it is written that Dhanvantari, the Hindu God of Ayurveda, took incarnation as a king of Varanasi and taught about Ayurveda medicine to a group of physicians including Sushruta.

Vata is the subtle energy associated with movement and composed of space and air and it promotes creativity and flexibility, Kapha is the energy that forms the structure of the body such as bones, muscles, tendons, and provides the glue that holds the cell together. Vata is composed of Earth and water and it expresses love, calmness, and forgiveness, and Pitta governs the body’s metabolic system, and it is composed of fire and water. Pitta promotes understanding and balance. 

Naturopathy is a form of alternative medicine that means a natural cure. The word naturopathy has originated from Natura (Latin root for birth), and Pathos (the Greek root of suffering). With the combination of a healthy diet, simple self-help techniques, beneficial herbs, and general exercise, naturopathy promotes the body’s own ability to heal itself. It is completely non-invasive, natural, and self-healing. The practice of naturopathy is based on a belief in the ability of the body to heal itself through specific vital energy or force guiding bodily processes internally. It focuses on a holistic approach, with complete avoidance of surgery and conventional medicines. It aims to prevent ailments through stress management techniques, and changes in diet and lifestyle. 

Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices that aims to develop harmony in the mind, body, and environment. It is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophical traditions. The practice of Yoga has been thought to date back around 3000 BCE during pre-Vedic Indian traditions possibly in the Indus valley civilization. It is mentioned in the Rig-Veda and also in the Upanishads. However, it developed as a systematic study around the 05th and 06th century BCE, in ancient India’s ascetic time. Yoga is very beneficial to health as it increases flexibility, muscle strength, and tone, improves respiration, energy, and vitality, maintains a balanced metabolism, weight reduction, improves cardio and circulatory health, decreases stress, and gives relief from anxiety and depression.
