As the world is developing in technology day by day we are moving away from nature. We have depleted nature’s every gift, polluted the environment with deforestation. Nature is reacting on us in the form of natural calamities and certain diseases. Moreover in this fast pace life, we don’t allow our body to fight with any illness and take man made drugs forgetting that the same nature has cure for all disturbances. In such adverse circumstances yoga and ayurveda still shows a hope to be connected with nature. This provides treatment for almost all diseases.

Yoga and ayurvedic treatments have a different approach that work not only on illness but tries to find out root cause thus eliminating it permanently. Yoga is very effective in stabilizing nervous disorders, stress, constipation, reducing anxiety and depression, eliminating fatigue and even helpful in diseases like cancer and aids.

Different postures during yoga include sitting, standing or lying down to relax your muscles and other body parts. Meditation is the most effective way to reduce stress.
