Modern Science is making great progress in every known field, and is trying to find answers for some of the most intriguing questions. Health is one area where modern science continues to struggle – it can provide temporary relief but cannot heal the body completely. A healthy body needs balanced energy distribution, ignoring which, the healing process provide only impermanent satisfaction. What is required is healing process involving herbal medicine and spiritual healing to realize long-term permanent relief. This is an art of healing which can be attained by Vedic sciences.

Ancient Indian Vedic science, interestingly, has a lot to offer in the field of health and healing process. Vedic science relates healing process in conjunction with natural life cycle and finds answer to ailment within the boundaries of nature – the reason why long-term permanent relief to diseases has been possible.

Nature displays a fine balance of energy within which life thrives. When the balance of energy in nature is disturbed the result is catastrophic consequences in the form of cyclone, tsunami, flood, melting ice-belts etc. Naturally, when the energy balance of our body is disturbed, the result is disease and ailments. Our luxurious living style is causing negative consequences on our health.
