Ayurveda is the ancient holistic system from India, practiced for over 5000 years, it is acknowledged as the mother of medicine which includes yoga in its modality. It is a complete lifestyle based on achieving physical, mental and spiritual harmony. Ayurveda describes that life is divided into three divisions and composed of five basic elements: space, air, fire, water and earth, all depending on which body elements (dosha) dominates which section of life.

 

In order to prolong life and keep old age at bay, we need to pacify Vata dosha. Some of the herbs that pacify Vata are ginger, Neem, Triphala, Turmeric and Manjisha.

 

The Marma points are connected with each other by energy channels called Nadis.  Energy needs to flow uninterrupted through the Nadis while passing through the Marma points. Due to external influences such as stress, tension, lifestyle etc energy tends to get blocked in the Marma points. Blockage of these points will result in early ageing.
